PS After Brighton I mentioned that four people in particular had had bad days at the office: Meyler, Elmo and the Arsenal lads. All four are dropped tonight. Anyone think Brucey is cyber-stalking me?
Technically it could still be 442 with Bruce at the base of a diamond Midfield, Diame right & Hudds playing behind the front 2!
I think it's likely he has just been given a rest, to be honest, as we have three games in a week. Whatever SB says. Let's him have a look at how well Odubajo does as a wing back, too.
3-5-2 is exactly what we were screaming out for, it suits everybody in our team. Glad Elmo has been dropped, it might be exactly what he needs to get his head back on right.
Has Bruce lost the ****ing plot or is this just a ploy to get junior in the line up? I've an inkling tonight might be one of those nights, we've been playing ****e, on the back of an absolutely dreadful performance, fans are glum, zero expectation other than to play totally ****e and get comfortably beaten... In this league especially, it's these sort of scenarios where we end up going out, dominating the game creating a shed load of chances and scoring a few goals.
To be honest glad we have reverted to 3-5-2, and Elmo hasn`t been producing the goods, shows that everyone can be dropped. As said previously looks a good team on paper, although i still have doubts over Clucas. Unfortunately the transfer window fks with peoples heads, it is what it is, but hopefully Elmo will get the message and get his head from up his 4rse, because in this league he should be quality. Bout time Thudd turned up too and showed what he produced a season and a half ago, going for an optimistic 2-1 win, but would settle for a point and a good performance.
So basically you're saying we'll play **** & get beaten by 3 or 4 whilst paying great & winning by 2 or 3, I like your positive negativity!
As always, didn't see that one coming. Dropping Elmo ffs. He's been good enough for three years and now he's the latest scapegoat. Odubajo takes his place at RWB, what has he done to deserve this first name on team sheet status? But of course it's down to the transfer window. Did he actually say that? **** me.
Elmo isn't as good as everyone makes out, most crosses in the league last season and we were one of lowest scoring teams. Tells you alot. Having said that there are 5 or 6 players that need dropping as far as i'm concerned. aluko up front! what a joke!
