Got to admit that the starting 11 surprises me. Really thought he'd go 4 at the back, but what the hey.
Why? Have you seen him play or train? What makes you think he's ready for championship football- or are you guessing based on hype?
Has anyone said it....this injury situation is insane, especially when you factor most of them would be starting/rotating. 2-1 **** the Allams.
Saw something on their forum about them having 1 win in 29 away midweek games or something... Can't remember the last time we won a midweek game at home either. Think we may have won a few during the behind closed doors season
Having screeched back up the motorway from London to at least listen to commentary, I'm sat shaking my head at the selection and just beginning to wonder what input SA is having in transfers. OR. They literally begged Chelsea for these 2 lads to come in, one supposedly the jewel in their academy crown who has even started games for Chelsea.... and what do we field....!!!???... to add insult to injury not even on the bench. They're either showing zero in training OR... and Pelkas !!!?
Or neither has ever played an entire 90 minutes of competitive Championship football and we can't afford to just chuck kids into our first team as soon as they arrive. They're good, but we don't want to rush them in.
Need to change something. Probably bring Figgy or Jones off for Pelkas on the wing and move Smith to the other wing.
