Finally got to the striker bit then

Well do you think KWP’s best position is LB, Lyanco a RB or RCB in a back 4? Do you think any of our centre backs apart from Lyanco are happy playing LB or RB in a back 3? Do you think Perraud and KWP’s best positions are RWB/LWB?

Not that I was aware of.

If we play 5 at the back. At least 3 defenders.

If we play 5 at the back for the rest of the season, we’re definitely relegated. Need to get back to playing players in their best positions again. And we need 3 in midfield.

Sounds like Bree is happening, anyone know anything about him? One for the championship next season I’m guessing.

Bednarek is cup tied, and DCC is confirmed as suspended for this game according to this: https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/southampton-suspended-newcastle-red-card-8070095 So Sali & Lyanco at the back for this one for me, with Payne and Perraud either side.

Yup completely forgot about him, and agree with Orsic, he needs minutes too. Think DCC is banned for Tuesday, because it was 2 yellows, but I might be wrong. Would happily take him as banned for this Saturday though and available on Tuesday ! No idea where to check.

A rotated one, but one that should still be able to get the job done. Assuming DCC is banned for Tuesday, (which I think is accurate), he might as well play on Sat. Rest Lavia and Alcaraz for Tuesday. Possibly rest JWP too. Hopefully get into the lead by half time and then give Ballard / Morgan / Dibling some pitch time towards the end. Something like: Caballero Payne DCC Salisu Perraud AMN Diallo AArmstrong Elyounoussi Edozie Mara

I dont disagree with you on some of those, and there is no doubt that a bunch of them have been a nightmare. But no clubs get all transfers right either. Difference is, we've sold anyone decent and replaced them with players who aren't as good, haven't had the potential to be good enough, or have never progressed into what they should have done.

Obviously a bunch on here that are way above our station, but this is the top goals + assists in the top 10 leagues this season so far under the age of 23...must be someone in there that CDAJFU https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scorer/topscorer/statistik/2022/plus/0/galerie/0?saison_id=2022&art=top10&land_id=0&altersklasse=u23&ausrichtung=Sturm&spielerposition_id=&filter=0&yt0=Show

Up for debate but: Lavia, Edozie, DCC, Alcaraz, ABK, Salisu, Tino, Broja, KWP, Ings, SArmstrong, Bednarek (for the price) haven't been bad signings at all in reality....

Good lord. And this is pretty much what is wrong with modern football. The premier league and top level football in general has zero morals. Fans have morals until it happens to them, and then they rub it in everyone elses faces. Well done for being minted. I personally, have zero time for shit like this.

Towards the very top for me is Bruno Guimaraes. What an absolute c*nt he is. Who cries about an injury and then two days later is playing. And laughing in DCC's face when he got sent off. Utter prick.

We've been a half clinical striker away all season. Ralph would probably still be here if we'd got one in the summer. Unfortunately, we miss so many chances, and end up losing 1-0, it's been the story of our season. I saw this thread last night on twitter, and it highlights why we are where we are unfortunately. And pretty sure he's missing one against West Ham and one against Forest too.

It wasn’t Ralph’s decision was it ffs 🤣

Was superb, always trying to go forwards, not scared to have a shot on goal. A midfield 3 of Lavia JWP Alcaraz is fine.

When will the club act? It happens every single game.

I think maybe you're being a little bit unfair but I understand your point. If I'm honest, I think at that point all of the CB's, apart from Lyanco, didn't want to play in a back 3, and ABK and Salisu were horribly exposed by Lincoln's no 7 that night. None of them want to play LB or RB in a 3, you can tell by their body language.

Dont think so, there are a bunch of clubs in lower divisions I think who are category 1. Not sure exactly how it works

Try ALT + F4👍

What a fucking shambles this club is at the moment. Wonder if this is linked to the manager. He’s got no interest in the development of the youth players. You’d hope he’d learned from Dibling, but maybe not.

It does - because taking someone out of midfield to play at the back completely kills us going forward. At least there is a chance we can score 2 if we play a back 4. Clearly it's not made us any more solid playing a back 4, if anything it's made us more porous.

Bruno played at the weekend, he is fit. Their top goalscorer in this competition has 1 goal. FWIW Adams is joint top scorer with 4. They don't score many lets be fair, but they are incredibly solid and rarely concede. If we can manage to get 1-0 tonight, it will be huge for us. They did however score 4 against us in the league though...🙃

He went back to 5 at the back. Which he has some weird obsession with.
