Master Bates Posted 23 October, 2022 Share Posted 23 October, 2022 2 minutes ago, goodymatt said: Today feels like a day where the best we can ask for with our depleted squad and their form is a bit of pride in how we approach the game. Arsenal should be comfortable winners today but stranger things have happened. I miss the gung ho pressing monster tactics that can work so well against bigger opponents. Our identity is missing atm and it makes for low entertainment games. That being said a repeat of April’s 3 point robbery will do nicely under the circumstances. 3 0 win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 23 October, 2022 Share Posted 23 October, 2022 Brilliant team news. Instead of trying to score a goal and sitting back to hold that lead we are going to defend from the first minute to hold the draw.

HarvSFC Posted 23 October, 2022 Share Posted 23 October, 2022 The treatment of Adams is bollocks and baffling in equal measure. If there were any doubts regarding our best forward before the season started then he’s definitely answered them this season. At least we know the ball won’t stick up top. Attack vs defence. A long afternoon at St. Mary’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrived in Stoke and the coach got pulled over by the police. Ref was making a pitch inspection and the police were ready to turn us round but the game went ahead. We lost. Think Tommy Widdrington chipped the keeper but the ball stopped on the line because of the heavy rain!! People slipping and sliding getting in and out of the ground. Horrible away day!!

Sheaf Saint Posted 23 October, 2022 Share Posted 23 October, 2022 Some people seem to be going to extreme lengths to bash Ralph here. It's very simple. Che ran himself into the ground on Wednesday and had a tight hamstring (not the same thing as a torn hamstring which would obviously rule him out for a few weeks). As a result of his tight hamstring he hasn't trained with the rest of the team during the preparations for this match, but is fit enough to play if called upon from the bench.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 23 October, 2022 Share Posted 23 October, 2022 Hamstring my arse. If he was that concerned he wouldn’t put him in the match day squad. There would be a huge risk him coming on even for ten minutes, pulling his hamstring and being out for six weeks.

Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan Posted 23 October, 2022 Share Posted 23 October, 2022 Feel like the question can also be, why no Mara, seems the most likely replacement for Adams but will be sat on the bench next to him.

It's entirely possible that the tightness has eased and they don't consider there to be any risk of damage if he plays a part of the game today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
