    The only thing missing is a goalscoring threat.

    I don’t hate the line up, if it was any other team I could see the logic with having hard workers up front to try and keep it tight for 60/70 mins then bring on Sulemana/Onuachu for the last 20 to try and nick a goal to win

    Unfortunately we have seen that this line up doesn’t keep things tight and we will be 2/3 down by the time it’s time to bring on the options from the bench, so at this point we may aswell play the most attacking side and just try and score a couple during the whole game

    I don't know how so many people on here find the time to be present at all the training sessions at Matchwood. Obviously I must try harder to really know what's going on. Am I surprised at the line up, could be, am I disappointed at who's been picked, possibly, etc etc but then Selles and his team presumably are a bit closer than all of us as to the effort etc being put in by individual players. Let's see!

    I just want Theo to score and do an Adebayor style celebration.

    If he was in the team as a CM I could kind of understand it but he is supposed to be one of the creative 10s in the team, it's a waste of a player.

    Yes, the days when you’d go to a game KNOWING one of our players would score - a lifetime ago ☹️

    I don't given a flying **** about training. This isn't Englefield Green under 11's where we are trying to reward hard work/commitment. This is our ****ing PL survival that he is dicking about with.

    Those players are ****e
    Those players have been ****e all season
    Those players will be ****e this evening.

    So either Selles does not have a single clue, or more likely he is being told not to pick the players we can get some £ for.

    Sorry but that's bollocks. If you haven't noticed, Lavia would be the player we would get the most money for, along with JWP and ABK. And look, they're all playing.
