Let me tell you something if LJ is too stubborn to change formation and drop another in against Villa we will be embarrassed live on national and international television. Forget the Watford game, sack that off, send the u18s... I can't believe I'm saying this as I'm Mr bloody positive but can SOMEONE... ANYONE tell me where we're getting points in our next 5 league games? Thanks 0-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's a good job I've seen the table, I'd have thought we were rock bottom with -15 goal difference reading this! It hasn't been the greatest starts but LJ can't do right (not supporting him just being reasonable) he gets moaned at for tinkering, keeps the same team bar 1 for the first 4 games and people say he needs to change it up I for one am more optimistic this season, even with LJ in charge... the team seem up for it, Brentford would have been a loss if it was last season as would have Millwall.

Chairman Mao Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Millwall was the first game this season I saw but it seems we need to get the ball into Reid's feet in the final third and play off him, that seemed to be where some of our better play (not that there was much) came from. The one two with Byran running on was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore a good opportunity to progress in the FL cup. Since we won't be winning anything in the league this season, a cup run is my best hope for a decent season. Based on Millwall game, Villa should muller us, but our players always seem able to turn it on for the cameras. Will listen to the commentary on RB for the Watford game and looking forward to the Villa game, which should have a great atmosphere. Had Watford been at home, I would definitely bought ticket. A cup run - :laugh: - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyez Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Would love to see us try out the formation Chelsea use but sadly pre season is over now and the time for experimenting has gone.

Fiale Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'd like to see something like this - I know Engvall is not available, but well - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd play O'Neil - he won't be fit for Friday if he plays too much Tuesday. It's a no win game if you ask me. That's the dilemma isn't it. A fit Gary O'Neil is an asset to this squad. Give him 60 minutes max v Watford for Smith In an ideal world, Diedhiou would be rested for Woodrow, but he's cup-tied. I'd be tempted to play Paterson off of Reid to give the big man a rest, to see him raring to go at Terry on Friday. I'd also like Bobby to have a rest too. Some simpler scenarios: - Magnússon for Bryan at LB - Hegeler for Wright (sod the armband thing) at CB. - Eliasson for Paterson at LM (Pato off of Reid as above) That would be 5 changes for Watford. I think we can progress...hopefully Watford will play a weakened side too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA ha yeah - to be honest I don't know what's happening at our club recently concerning keepers. FF is a good shop stopper, but that's the bread and butter of all keepers. Championship and above keepers need to bring a little more to the table, and I am not sure what FF does, collecting crosses, distribution, commanding the area marshalling the defence - I don't know.

RedM Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Well I'm going to Watford, not expecting too much but hey it's an evening out. Must be 30 years since I've been there so it will be good to revisit. Hopefully a few finge players will have the game if their lives and give LJ a selection headache, will be nice to see what Eliasson can do for example. Obviously it's all about league points on Friday and after Millwall I expect there are a few knocks, but I hope we can at least put together a confidence boosting performance even if we do end up losing by the odd goal. Fully expecting a 4-0 battering now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed mate. Said this exact thing to my mate half way through the first half on Saturday. His distribution is dire!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
