He said something like, "obviously I've always known it would be true, but seeing it actually written like that just hits you." That, basically. He died peacefully in his jeep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some theories that he was the one who cocked up for the Leicester winner, as hasn’t made a squad since until tonight - guess he lost a lot of trust if true, was poor against Bournemouth also so not sure he’s the messiah people on here portray him as.

suewhistle Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 I'm in a pub just having seen the team and cackling somewhat hysterically. Part of that is due to the absence of any decent alternatives.. Is Wood quicker than Edwards as I reckon we'll need a mobile defence tonight. Lavia on their bench when he'd be a starter for us. Can't imagine why he ever left..

Yes but that's one mistake. Fraser made two monumental cock ups against Leicester and went straight back in?? Also I don't think anyone is saying he's the messiah, just a relatively solid player that hasn't been given a fair crack of the whip here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Well before we knew the line-up it was clear to most we’d have a somewhat tough evening. Now - it’s likely going to be an utter embarrassment. The left and right hand sides are completely unbalanced, players playing next to each other for the first time, Wood central in a seriously weakened defence - actually Wood, Stephens and Manning starting is a joke. Obviously ABK and Taylor are out of the picture, but really??? Apart from another loss, I can see a red card and a penalty coming our way. Just can’t see anything positive about this one. Hope I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine why he ever left.. From what I've seen, Edwards is both faster and better at passing than Wood is. I'm sensing a level of favouritism in choosing Wood over Edwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I’m wrong. TBF, if ABK and Taylor were playing they'd be playing next to each other for the first time as well. ABK is refusing to get game time in the reserves, so he doesn't deserve to get a chance anyway. Taylor has clearly had a run in, or maybe he's not great playing in a Martin system.

WGC Saint Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 That team selection has got another 9-0 defeat written all over it. Though can’t see what else we could do in the circumstances.

In my view ABK has been backed into a corner and RM is being typically dogmatic not finding a route for him back into the team. Poor management masterclass.
