Fordy62 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Fairly excited to see pring and COD play together - provided recent COD turns up, not normal COD. James and King looks good and Weimann and Semenyo is exciting too. It’s just Vyner. His name gives me the shivers. 3 Quote Link to comment

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Just now, Wiltshire robin said: Exactly I really hope we win but for example max O’Leary- not championship standard and only rated because he’s local and from the academy. vyner- awful defender who will probably end up with more assists against us than for us. andy king - old enough he’ll be shitting the bed soon semenyo- would struggle to score if you made the goal ten foot wider I just dont feel the team line up is that bad- if they're up for it then they can win this but I do understand why people are mystified.

Roadrunner Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 With four premierships clubs looking to sign the WBA goalkeeper, he can only sign for one club. That leaves three, step forward Bentley. Quote Link to comment

He's raw & probably doesn't have a clue what he's about to do next, which is probably why he fits well into Nige's (lack of) game plan...! Chuck him in & hope he manages to do something.... Literally..! 1 Quote Link to comment

You might be right, but I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him yet to say whether he’s Marinovic or Buffon. vyner- awful defender who will probably end up with more assists against us than for us. sat and thought for an age about a response to this and I just can’t find one. andy king - old enough he’ll be shitting the bed soon But on his day can be class - esp with James alongside him. semenyo- would struggle to score if you made the goal ten foot wider But he makes us look so much more dangerous. I’d rather he be in the team! 1 Quote Link to comment
The Swan and Cemetery Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 If 5-3-2 I quite like it. Reasonable for Bentley to be dropped given recent form, albeit not convinced O’Leary is standard, but fair to have a chance. Agree Vyner a worry, but Atkinson doesn’t seem right post injury and assume Cundy either not ready or not showing up well enough in training. Experience in midfield, decent width, pace up front and Scott for some flair. Other than Williams, not many I’d bring in ahead of this team. We’ll probably get spanked by seven, hey ho.

Might be off I suppose. Not sure about Max's distribution, but we'll find out soon. Certainly freshened up the team tonight. Where's Palmer? Quote Link to comment

It's one thing to suggest, on the basis of the financial news, that we won't be signing anyone; it's quite another to suggest a fire sale. I'll buy the first proposition, but not the second.

Put me in a team like that and i would probably score. Not many pure out and out goalscorers around these days, you need alot more to be considered a good player Quote Link to comment
The Journalist Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 I do hope the goalkeeper change has been properly thought through - if Max is in tonight he needs to stay in for at least half a dozen games, otherwise you end up in a situation where neither keeper feels trusted or confident. Lee Johnson got in an absolute pickle with his keepers towards the end. 1 Quote Link to comment

Particularly a fire sale that requires buyers and presumably buyers willing to offer the players a reason to exit their pre Covid contracts with us. Not entirely clear who would want to pick up those missing tonight for a wage that the player would accept. 1 Quote Link to comment
Better Red Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Striker - Seymenyo vs Wells Goalkeeper - Bentley vs O’Leary Not sure what he is thinking on these 2 decisions He needs to get it right tonight - that’s what he gets paid for Quote Link to comment

But i think you can’t just be that tap in merchant/fox in the box type these days. He is too limited in football ability elsewhere to be effective without 9 other players putting in more effort to make up for what he lacks. Quote Link to comment
