Protecting him from suspension (on 4 yellows)

Another first 😄

It was actually what we did when we played Liverpool in the Cup, and it worked well. I think to an extent that's why it stuck, unfortunately.

Made one save that any self respecting goalie should make. How he got away with some of the other stuff. Even gave away a corner for not releasing the ball when we finally won possession, to just invite the pressure back on. Total shit show, thank goodness some of our defenders put their bodies on the line to keep that lead. Hardwood Bellend was almost as bad. Fortunately the Sky commentator told us all it was Stephens, obviously number dyslexic.

Not to mention the howler when he took too long to get rid of the ball.

I"d still put him on the bench, even if he doesn't/can't play.

Strange that they are still with the Club. Everyone else went, even Carl Martin.

Has Romeu done his coaching badges?

Most of the players didn't play for the last 4 or 5 managers, not many even played for the last one. So this is nonsense.

Welington's suspended

Because we are currently not in a transfer window.

Wouldn't have Danny Rohl as assistant, his best times with us were when Danny was backup. Also bringing back the architect of 2 9-0s seems a bit foolhardy. Maybe if we're looking back with rose tinted specs Lawrie could rolled out.

I know it's semantics, but when was it ever 5 at the back against Brizzle. It was 3 at the back with two outside pushing forward. I don't recall Frazer ever defending (except when he kept them onside for their 2nd) and Welington didn't do much in the way of defending. The big problem I have with what Still says about getting it forward being the key, not the formation, is that is exactly what our defenders (whether its 3, 4 or 5) don't do. They pass it around at the back and always look to play sideways or back without trying to get it forward, just like in Martin's time. The only difference I see is that McCarthy does sometimes launch it. THB is the worst at playing it around at the back, except occassionally he seems to remember to try to get it forward and alunches a diagonal to no one. I know its heresy on here but I think Jack does a better job of getting it forward than THB.

Curious how you know that

By buying it for £6m and letting the market take its course, easy really.
