That's absolutely fair enough. Don't agree with all your takes, nor yours mine I'd imagine, but good to understand where you're coming from. Yeah it's a shower at the moment which is weird in itself because, what I know of his Lens team, they did have something of an identity.

This is quite the change in tone for someone who backed Martin to the hilt? I'm genuinely not trying to pick a scrap either but why the greater animosity for Still Vs Martin? Genuine question because I don't actually disagree with you.

Feels very much like that, agreed.

It wasn't an inspiring one have to say. Ross big loss. Still no clear idea on best personnel or formation.

AND yet Downs continually makes the bench

He nearly scored let alone a tackle

Fucking all over us now. Miss Stewart annoyingly

Not sure why Fellows has been dropped, he's defo better than Fraser, who I think is handy late on. Otherwise happy with that set-up.

We won. Jander is good (give away aside). Fellows is good. Stewart might be what we need and he was my MOTM tonight Woods is good. But fuck me it's still far too pedestrian, and we've won because a really good strike.

@trousersoblige good sir!

Never in doubt

It's very pedestrian in attack. A team at home who is a bit shot shy, and a team who can't break them down. It's not a thriller. Left side looks empty. Should be AA out there.

Via the app. Good team. Stewart does need to show something here I think though. Was relatively anonymous last weekend. Would prefer Jelert too but otherwise happy with that line up.

Oh no, he's started talking about being "brave".

Yes massively. Not AMs fault at all.

There

The lack of RB concerns me a little as it's will need them to get up and assist in midfield which is how Still likes to set up, or did on occasions, at Lens. But otherwise we'll see if our team is any good with some depth.

But is that better than cow shit?

Jander being fit is a bit of good news from the mid-week's showing.

Well that's just sensible. Knock it off.

Ooooooo I was on your side right up until this point. He got 10 in 29 so less than a goal every other game - or 10 in 21 starts still less than a goal every other game in Bundesliga 2 - he was less prolific the season before 2 in 10 though that was in the actual Bundesliga. He's hardly been prolific ever. I think he probably deserves time, but lets be clear its not like we've snapped up a gem unless we can mould him as such. And he HAS been fucking terrible so far. Edit: I can see we've done this to death above. Its not a great record any way you spin it.

Shame to see Jander go off injured - did not look happy.

There's a touch of calm class about him.... Bollocks that should be us one up.

The idea of being in the Championship to rebuild is a foolish notion. You are still way better off, being utterly pissed on in the Prem, than you are languishing in the Championship from a business sense. I like the championship as it goes, but I also don't want to be here for more than a season.

That's a great summary and all, but then I have to ask, why isn't it working? Are our players that shite? You're right about Downs being in the right positions(ish) but he's so far fallen over twice from 2 yards out and been completely inept against Hull. I actually want to like him, lovely finish in preseason, but he's been infuriatingly shit since. And my thoughts on Archer are well documented here. AA cannot lead a line. Stewart ? (He'd be my gamble)...Scienza the next gamble even though it's not really where he plays. Basically I'm asking you to give me some hope to hang on to 😂
