DT Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 Che and Edozie up front. Not sure about that. Why reward Mara after that goal by dropping him? No Adam Armstrong either. I don’t get it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 I suppose dropping the two goalscorers from a 2-0 win against the league champions is the right call 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with added misery of a sending off. That's the spirit! 😂 Would've liked to see Mara keep his place after scoring but happy with the team besides that.

Bad Wolf Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 Djenepo dropped - Everyone whinges. Yet every time he's announced as starting, he's also met with negative whinges, even when he's previously had a good game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintscottofthenortham Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 Have to admit, I’m really disappointed with that line up. Che, who has been truly awful, straight back in after Mara was as lively as you could ask… that’s harsh and brave. Elyou, who the managers seem to love FFS, back in for Adarma who had his best game for us and scored here last year. two changes I think didn’t need to be made but happy to be proved wrong. Monumental day for us and these players haven’t been doing the job, so I’d have liked to have seen the lads who done so well on Wednesday rewarded. Che especially needs to start bucking his ideas up, for me. No more excuses for sloppy finishing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 Wouldn't have dropped Mara myself, but I'm not the manager and I haven't seen them in training this week. I'm sure he will get some minutes though. Happy with the Lavia, JWP and Diallo midfield 3 again. Makes us much stronger as a unit and much less easy to play through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and his energy probably hasn't stocked up yet. But yes, Che in there instead is ridiculous. Aribo played there for Rangers a few times, if you're going to have a choice between two lazy players (Aribo and Adams) you may as well go for the one who hasn't played as much just to see if he can add anything.

DT Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 Setting the tone will be so important, especially today. What Adam Armstrong gives us is constant harrying.

Disco Stu Posted 14 January, 2023 Share Posted 14 January, 2023 Really disappointed to see Elyounoussi back in the team. I thought we looked much more fluid in attack without him. He lacks pace and vision for this level. I hoped Orsic would spell the end of starts for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
