What the actual fuck is that team... 

There's method in the madness - put out a weak side then nobody can point the finger if they lose because RM can just say his hands were tied and he had nothing more to pick from 🙂

Teams fine, what were people expecting? It's not like we've signed a bunch of cdms since our last game.

Predicting a 4-1 saints, all the moaning bedwetting fuckwit melts will have to find something else to moan about for a few days.

A CB in at CB, and a CM in midfield was the least I expected tbh.

It was quite simple really, put Charles in midfield and Bednarek or Holgate at centre back.

Aribo is not up to the task of playing in there so god help us.

Humble pie cooked and waiting to be served.

We have one. He's playing him CB. And putting CB's on the bench. 

That's a mental line up. Absolutely mental. 

I think there'll be a curve ball though, Fraser at full back perhaps.

Rushed out of work, train down to Southampton, see that line up and think he's got to be taking the piss. 

No balance, no tackles in midfield once again , defeat on the way 

He’s going for the pay 💰 off surly

i take it you didn't watch the shit show on Friday with the exact same side out all bar Aribo who he now expects to run around in midfield when the bloke cant run 10 yards. People have a right to be angry with this pathetic line up!

Asshat by name.....

The most obvious choice would be to play the best defensive midfielder in that position and not in central defence....

I was optimistic before the season started that being one of the bigger fish in this particular pond that an impending kick off might be anticipated with a positive outlook.

How quickly that hope withered away.

When you need to toughen up the midfield there's only one man for the job.

Step forward Joe Aribo!

The Scottish Romeu.

Rusty? Not trying to be too clever here are we? What'dya think sunshine?

Really looking forward to the game now.

Either we get smashed and Martin gets the boot, or we pull of an incredible victory. 

Either way, it'll be interesting

So we’ve shipped 9 in 2 and we’re now trying a midfield that has zero holding midfielders in it. Basically a 4-1-5 formation. It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for ‘em.

Hold up.

Just seen via Mr Google that you can watch Red Button games on NowTV, via some devices, including a PS4.

Will check it out when I get home.

Well the game is showing in the options for the PS4. But it won't open yet.....'the stream hasn't started'.

He’s already lost most of us. The guy is proving that he is an idiot.

He lost the fanbase when we conceded our first corner of the season. We aren't exactly the supportive and loyal fanbase.

One would presume Bednarek is not ready for 90 yet. Holgate neither (or just crap?). Either way, I suspect he doesn't want to play Charles at CB but that it's the best option. He sees them in training and gets fitness reports. 

I'm pretty certain that's not a tactical decision but does illustrate our DM weakness. Our attacking bench looks strong, but let's hope we don't need it!

Why the hell would you not play Charles in midfield given the opportunity? Why would you play the exact same back 4 who looked horrendous just 4 days ago? Clueless. 

Baffling indeed

It’s just bonkers. Unless you absolutely have to you play your players in the position they are used to - not as square pegs in round holes.

What the actual fuck is that utterly cretinous team selection 

No defensive midfielder and plays him at centre back 

And fucking Aribo:mcinnes:

What is he trying to achieve? Fuck knows, its going to be another mauling

The man is an utter joke

I truly hope that team surprises me.

Again it looks like our 'spine', the central hub of our midfield and defence, is as flimsy as a fucking wet lettuce leaf. I predict we will be fucked over massively by Ipswich, 4-2.

Prove me wrong, boys.

Fed up of people blaming the fans. Name one other group of fans in the country that has had to deal with the shit we have had to over the past three years and wouldn't act in the same way.

What is there to support? Too many duff dinners have been dished up over the years and no one wants to eat any more..

Martin has dug out the random squad number generator machine as used by Burley and Puel. 

I wouldn’t have said Burley was random, quite the opposite in fact. Jermaine Wright. Every. Single. F**king. Game.

Could it be 3 at the back? Manning in the middle 3? Fraser and KWP as wing backs? 

Oooh, even better! In stead of only having one non-CB playing CB we’d have two!

I've solved it.

Martin knows Aribo is never going to bust a gut to get into the box when we attack so will be perfectly placed for any counter attacks.

On a more serious note I would say Aribo can pass the ball and it's hard to get it off him at least.

I pray for a miracle but expect a disaster tonight.

Perhaps a bit fairer to say that patience is finally running a bit thin after years of shit being served up and swallowed. Enough’s enough and all that.

Has anyone found a streaming link for this upcoming shitshow?

 

Preferably one that starts buffering after 10 minutes, sound cuts out at 20 minutes and then dies at half time.....so I can do something productive from there on

Our inverted full backs will have Ipswich chasing shadows. 

The only thing that is inverted is RM's torso, which is ensconced firmly up his rectum.
