[HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG] vs Doncaster: Pantilimon; Jones, O'Shea, Coates, van Aanholt; Rodwell, Cattermole, Johnson; Lens, Defoe, Fletcher.

subs: Bridcutt, Larsson, Matthews, Pickford, Kaboul, Graham, Giaccherini, Mannone, Buckley, Beadling, Watmore
Think we may have got a bit carried away with the signings we have made. That squad looks Championship.

Still time but we need another 3-4 quality players in before the window shuts to avoid being down there all season again.

It's that CM we're badly missing by the sounds. Though I blame the shape for the goal. Dick's flirting with a 424 tonight.
 
Has he been tried down the middle, I know thats where you reckon he'll get played?
Probably, it sounds like Dick is trying a new tactic of rotating the strikers during the game. Probably work without Fletcher, cos he's ****, simple as.

I do think the team that started today will start against Leicester.
 
Half time, improved as the half went on. Defoe making fantastic runs which are being overlooked and Donny struggling to deal with Lens' pace. The consensus is he's a hug step up on what we have.
 
Looks like more poor tactics and not interested and continued since Chelsea away, go 3-5-2 and frigging get at them in the 2nd half, O Shea off and Mathews on. Lens cannot win the game on his own. Here we go again us and the mags cannon fodder. The game in Germany better be a big improvement or we will go down next May unless big money is spent. The game is not on youtube, yet about 10 different streams are claiming it, it should be on the horror channel though, no the wonder we are not being covered by sky etc.

Reactions: Rick O'Shea
Defoes movement exceptional. Rodders and co passing sideways with heads down while he tears their CB a new one

Larrson in for Rodwell and maybe Kaboul for Coates but I reckon yeah that's pretty much it providing we don't add to the squad of course.
 
Lens is RAPID!!!!

The rest very very poor. Goal was poor by Pants.

He had his own defender in between him and the ball, do you not think the man being unmarked was the problem? That two man midfield left the back post totally exposed from the late runner by the look of the gif of the goal
 
Are the tactics not 4-2-1-3, Funky?

You at the game mate.

Yeah but the 1 is right up the backside of the front 3 acording to all the media sources, all the width is high up the pitch, Catts and Rodwell are holding the midfield, with only two middle and 4 right up, look how easy the runner comes in unmarked.
