I knew you'd reply - you can't help it - you're obsessed with him - I'm surprised you're not at Villa Park on Tuesday asking for a selfie and an autograph on the match programme
Agree, he has to change formation. Especially up front. We are toothless. FC is now someone to bring off the bench, not to lead a line on his own from the start. Utterly ridiculous. I'd even go as far as suggesting to start with Keane and Dicko. 2 players that might actually work off each other.
They didn’t last Tuesday and I pray they won’t get the chance to prove it again next Tuesday. There are no circumstances under which Keane should start.
Luckily my boycotting of home games means I didn't see the depressing scenes on Saturday so I am still looking forward to Tuesday. We need to make some changes, I wouldn't play two strikers, Bowen and Grosicki as we would get torn apart. I might even try Bowen up top with someone we need to get him in the box more. I have no idea what the solution is i just don't think we are good enough.
Something has to change, and Nige doesn't have too many options. As they say, doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result is a sign of madness. Dicko also isn't one to lead the line on his own, we already know that too (although probably nowadays a better option than FC).
Can't see Grosicki playing, I think he is offski. Nigel is likely to put Kane at left back, he played there when I went to watch the pre-season friendly against Barnsley. I will go for Marshall Lichaj Burke De Wijs Kane Henriksen Batty Irvine Bowen Campbell Milinkovic
Weirdly John, when Kingsley cane off on Saturday Adkins moved Lichaj to left back and put Kane at right back. It didn’t seem to make sense, and unsettled both players for much of the game.
Long McKenzie McDonald Curry Fleming Batty Chadwick Grosicki Toral Hamilton Keane Play the stiffs more likely to win and if we do get tonked it will be a message to Ehab to buy some players!
It didn't surprise me, Lichaj has regularly played at left back for Forest and Kane's primarily a right back.
Been trying to think of a suggested team, but it just feels like it doesn't matter . You can take out an average player and replace him with another average player but that's about it . And I'm probably been kind with average. Might as well change the formation and do something a bit different , go for Dicko and Campbell up top
But average is all you need to compete in the championship. This team isn't as bad as some are making out, it really isn't.
unable to keep a clean sheet and a lack of firepower is a bad combo , no bite in midfield . I think it is to be honest Chazz , I've only seen the 2 home games which have been littered with 5 minutes of neat passing here and there, but that's not enough .
So what's the problem then Chazz? I know it's early days mate and I still feel optimistic, but the reality is 1 point from 9 and some very worrying signs.
