Exactly marra,seven probably six players playing in their natural position,this continuous ploy of playing players out of position is killing us although admittedly the LB position is due to annoyingly sick note personnel
Injuries to that position is like crazy. I mean alese picked up a knock he's only just come back. Cirkin out longterm. Huggins was playing well again out longterm. Hume having to cover there now, lucky pembele is returning to fitness but if something happens to either of those we are totally out of sorts.

This is the thing that is proper boiling my piss. Fair enough we have injuries at left back and Ekwah is filling in as CDM but there is no excuse for anywhere else on the pitch.

Frustrating that majority of our long term injuries are usually initially diagnosed as minor injuries and not during a match

I was thinking tonight it'd be a better fit for Seelt to play CB and O'Nien to go RB. Seelt is a decent footballer but he's not an attacking fullback, neither is Luke but it makes more sense.
 
The only positive I can see, and I’m proper scraping the barrel here, is we really would be forced to try something different tactically.

I don’t see another threat on that pitch apart from Clarke. Only Pritchard but he’s pushed out on the right to accommodate Jobe, who doesn’t want to get on the ball and when he does, he slows it down.

The tension is such that Beale will be very ballsy to try something different

I did say I was scraping the barrel :emoticon-0102-bigsm

We need to get a couple of good results or I can see some of the players being more open to a transfer. Especially Clarke.

I think Clarke would be open to leaving at this point and I wouldn’t blame him.

I see Pritchard have a pop at Beale during the game, I’ve never seen that before during a game at that level.
 
I thought Seelt was good tonight despite being ****ed over by the tactics asking him to be the width on the right. If we are going to play him at right back he needs a winger infront of him, but he should really be starting centre back.
Pembele looked bright, nout to lose, start him he might just give us another outlet and give the opposition something else to worry about other than surrounding Clarke, also think it’s time to get seelt centre half, go 433 onien sitting and 2 of Ekwah Neil Jobe pushed on
