    This team will be better than the one who plays tomorrow
    So depressing
    How has Janny B leapfrogged these to two in the pecking order

    I reckon DCC will learn a lot being captained by a 17 year old :bandit:

    You don’t think maybe Caleta-Carr warrants some sort of disciplinary sanction, for getting himself self off then?

    But apparently Bednarek is sharp enough, having played 8 minutes of PL football in the past 3.5 months.

    I know Orsic hasn't been great in his initial appearances either, and maybe part of the reason is fitness? But if it's not fitness then he's gone from scoring in the World Cup 3rd place play off and playing Champions League football to being dropped from a **** team and being played with the youth when we have an important PL game tomorrow.
    ABK sure, probably needs more carefully bringing back post injury. Not playing DCC in the league and instead playing Salisu, Janny B and Lyanco is enough of an insult as it is. Why is he being made to play in a youth game!?

    DCC played a ****ing week ago and should be played tomorrow. Janny B has played about 8 minutes all season before the second leg...

    Absolutely not. He took one for the team to stop us going into the second leg with a two goal deficit. He should have been applauded off the field (and not just by Murphy).

    That he doesn't rule playing any of them 24 hours later is somehow even more inexplicable than the idea that DCC is horribly rusty after not playing in 11 days. DCC played more recently than the whole ****ing Brentford team!

    So, let me get this straight.

    Bednarek has barely played all season, and walks into our team. DCC has had ONE WEEK off and needs to build up minutes. Hmmm, clearly Jones has his favourites and "Janny B" is obviously one of them.

    I just ignored that part as I assume we wouldn't actually start any of them 24 hours later and he just said that to get people off his back.

    I really want to get behind this bloke, but he really doesn’t help himself. What other team in the **** that we’re in, play this many first team players in a B team game 24 hours before a very winnable premier league match. Especially our 2 best CB’s and a World Cup semi finalist etc. You can see the reactions from fans tomorrow if we lose.

    And the first yellow was also one for the team, although slightly fortunate not to get a straight red.

    I think we have established that NJ just pulls his annswers out of his arse each week.

    Probably just doesn’t fit into the side he wants to play and had to invent an answer on the spot that doesn't offend any players. I say this because that answer doesn’t stand to reason at all.

    Add it to - ‘Formation doesn’t matter’, ‘Our performances have been very good’ (No) and ‘We took Newcastle to the wire’. (We lost by two goals on aggregate and at one point were three behind).

    We moan about footballers not living in the real world when they complain about Xmas fixture congestion, yet we have a meltdown when some of them are having a run out for the B team <laugh>

    That’s because he’s playing the guys which should be in the first team. If it was bednarek and Lyanco for the u23s, no one would mind.
    he’s dropped our best players

    I agree with Alfie House here. As usual he sums it up well. And I think most people accept Orsic, ABK and Djenepo need a run out. It's DCC playing that makes no sense. Even if you accept he needs minutes (and we're unconvinced for the reasons people have given) Bednarek must need them more.
