It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 49908 views | FDC | In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these. I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp. We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend. Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out. Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB. |  | | |  |

Suppose have to remember he is still a teenager. And also today's fashion of pissballing around means plenty of square passes like that. Grrim. |  |

Stefan will appear with his nice smile and good teeth and say it is the project .....to get relegated. This is dreadful. Unfit and just typical of a forign manager who thinks he can play it differently in the Championship. He didn't watch any of our games as he said or he is an imbecile. His Plymouth decision annoyed me especially as he was saying i am so proud when all us us were just pissed off. He is proving a disaster. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread on 15:27 - Aug 23 by mart_Goblin | You see, you can play whoever you like , wherever you like ….BUT THE METHOD / PATTERN OF PLAY / SET UP DOESNT WORK with this set of players . Said it every week practically and we still F*ck about hoping this week it will work . Stéphan has to change it and throw Nourry’s dogs*it in the bin . NOW !! Or it’s his reputation that will sink with us . And I’m still reading crap this morning that ‘we look much better than years before ‘. You and this coaching staff are on a different planet . Wise up ! |
The geezers a stooge, the players know that and they’ve thrown the towel in. Total shambles. |  | |  |

I reckon it was to save them the embarrassment of losing down there as opposed to avoiding injury, because they absolutely would have done. |  | |  |

Nice little chip into Field's feet in the box there but, as Sam's 1st touch reminded us, what's the point in that? |  | |  |

Hollowness aside, what has Steve Bould added? And if the project thinks Saito is the solution, then the algorithm is asking the wrong questions. |  |
