Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Our 8th game in and none of us has a scooby as to what our management think our strongest team is. Shocking. I happen to think we have a chance tonight but our selection and tactics and application all have to be spot on. Given I don’t think we have fielded the same team twice in a row this season we haven’t half hampered ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we lose, I expect us to play as well as we possibly play. If we don't turn up and get horsed, I'd bin the management tomorrow because it's literally now or never. If you can't get a tune out of them for a game like this, then you never will. A game like this? An away European tie in 30°c heat against a team that just beat us last week in our own stadium, if they can't get a tune out of them for this game they need emptied? Seriously?

Shocking. I happen to think we have a chance tonight but our selection and tactics and application all have to be spot on. Given I don’t think we have fielded the same team twice in a row this season we haven’t half hampered ourselves. Inclined to agree. I really think we've dropped the ball here with the lack of midfielders. Hof being injured already is not a good sign. But then, his impact has been a bit non-existent too. Losing Haring when we have has been a real sore one. Think we'd have beaten them at home with Haring in midfield (more control over the game). This is annoying because they're not a million miles ahead of us, but we're woefully unprepared. You can't be going into qualifiers with a squad that needs work.

mellors1874 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Need to stop with this playing players out of position. 6 defenders in that 11. Shows how we still need to be active in transfer market for two midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Sibbick in centre mid and Cochrane in an advanced midfield role. Possibly more defensively solid but we're not going to retain a lot of possession with that side so backs to the wall stuff, albeit there was going to be a bit of that anyway. Not a fan of playing players out of position and the offensive players lacking pace or technical ability. This is going to be a tough watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
