    Zak at right back is a great call mate. There has to be a reason we havent sent him out on loan.

    Or Alese in alongside Neil. I actually think the ONien is the most important part of our backline. Would worry if he wasnt in there doing his quite unique thing.

    Spot on this post mate. Phone died when I was out so couldn’t get one last post in, but what I was going to say is that I’m struggling to see why Aleksic isn’t getting an appearance of the bench. We’ve seen with Rigg that if they're good enough they’re old enough. He’s a 19 year old who’s a full international for a fairly decent country he simply can’t be shyte in my opinion. Today was the perfect chance to get him out there and show us what he’s got.

    Agree. There is no way he can be that ****e to want to change shape completely.

    Or AA would have been fine to bring on for Rigg etc. Rigg was out on his feet from 70mins

    If I am honest I do not rate Adil. I think he is miles off the level needed. But to hava player on the bench you appear unwilling to play, versus one who you think isnt good enough says a lot. No easy answer, or right or wrong, but it looks odd to me either way.

    Thought he did fine there last time out, solid defensively and got forward gamely. If he had Rusyn ahead of him I think we'd be relatively strong down that side and not much weaker in attack than with Hume and Roberts.

    I think Zak and Jewi had loans lined up that fell through.

    I think missing the players we are missing vs Millwall would've been justified if we'd just held on today. Each point achieved this week is fine in isolation, but as the whole, its dross.

    I'm hoping it's our poor run and it ends soon, but something in me brings out doubt given how we will be lining up down at The Den.

    Personally I wouldn't rush Alese back, but if he's ready, a strong back four could be huge vs these lot. That in mind, we'd need to be solid on the counter, looking like Watson will definitely feature, formation change will be intriguing.

    One thing that 40,000 of us could see that was blindingly obvious is that Isidor should never ever again be moved to the left wing.
    He should be kept as the number 9 and is wasted out on the wing.
    I hope RLB now realises this.

    Nah, we're going up :emoticon-0148-yes:
    Regis le Bris and the players will respond.
    It's our bad patch. Next three matches are hard. Millwall with players missing and WBA and Sheffield.
    If we can grind out some points we're still there.
    Lose all three and top spot , which i doubt. Or 3 draws. I expect us to bounce back.
    I've stopped hoping and I've started believing. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Learning curve for Regis hopefully.
    Isidor stays a striker.
    Fook the defensive shìt.
    Connolly unfortunately isn't cutting it for me.
    Big blow mundle and brown going off. Like we went down to ten men.


    Still top though but :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Monty what’s the point in your posts like this ?, they’re devoid of any logic or intelligence.

    What was he screaming at him for? Do you know? I have no idea personally so won’t judge. Isidor did **** up a chance to put the game to bed, one of 3 or 4 second half we had. You can say their keeper did
    Well, but isidor lifts that over him and runs it into an empty net, or gets the keeper sent off. Not even sure what he’s doing to be honest. Maybe it was that?
