Im with you. There has been a narrative that all our centre backs are so shit we have to play with 3. Like you say im no fan of Stephens but he has played over 100 premier league games, Harwood-Bellis has two promotions and an England cap on his CV, he played in a Burnley team which won the title with 101 points and only conceded 35 goals. Wood is competent at this level and we have Edwards and Quarise as our YHGTIers. You cant tell me that 2 of those 5, with two decent CDMs, Eleit and Rostov either side of them as full backs allowing us to play Fellows, Azaz and Scienza at an attacking 3 would do worse than the shambles we see every week defensively.

that isn't what i said.

It's a real shame for him really as if he wasn't so unlucky he'd probably be back at Man City by now and we'd be 100m sheets richer. I guess his lucks got to change soon.

what a weird thing to say. No surpises from you though

Disagree with you on Fellows, he was our most dangerous attacking player last night, beat his man on several occasions and put some dangerous crosses in, one of which he pulled back to Armstrong who should have done better. The problem was he was pushed back as we persisted with this shite knocking it around slowly between the 3 centre backs which meant they pressed higher. Azaz was playing in a sort of inside left role which doesn't suit him, he wasnt great but he isn't going to go past people like Scienza and Fellows do, he's much better centrally with runners around him. I do agree with you on Scienza though, never got into it and kept giving the ball away. It was a weird game where we had a few spells where we looked half decent and created some chances, more chances than they did i'd say but other periods where we looked terrible, got overrun in midfield and resorted to passing it around slowly and lumping it forward to Armstrong who is never going to get a sniff. I dont blame people for being pissed off, aside from last time in the championship we've had years of being shit and this team should be doing far, far better than it is.

People are underestimating just how good that save was last night. Baz would have had in mind we are vunerable from corners so rather than tip it round the post for a corner like most Glovesman would do and keep the pressure on, he deliberately tipped it onto the post to keep the ball in play and enable us to clear, really brilliant tactical play as well as an awesome hand denial It these sort of things that the uneducated amongst you dont see but fortunately for us those picking the team do. I've had a rethink about Baz and apart from all the goals be concedes he's in top form, he made 3 great saves last night and few times he was like having Pirlo in the six yard box the way he received it under pressure and kept us playing. There is more to being a top goal custodian these days than just getting the way of shots.

Believe it or not some clubs aren’t as obsessed with resale value as we are. They sign players to do a job now, like. I know fans of dozens of clubs but the only fans I ever hear going on about resell value, how much they can sell a player for before they’ve even signed them support one club. Perhaps by amazing coincidence that club has suffered two relegations in three seasons. The others haven’t.

Jelert gives us an option as right centre back or ahead of Fellows #trusttheprocess

That’s good for him

Brum might have a point about the ref getting in the way but he got in the way for us in the first half and didn’t stop the game so been consistent

Told you!

Archer coming on that means goals goals goals!

Long balls forward to Armstrong as well shite

It beggars belief doesn’t it

What save Baz!!
