    He clearly slipped Juric a tenner the other night to keep him on the bench.

    We don't score goals when we play 2 strikers. So to play none is FUBAR! Actually quite funny !

    We've sunk so low, that I found myself thinking "oh, good to see Smallbone back from injury".

    I'd have happily sold him last summer.

    Jesus ****ing christ I have to choose to believe we are just trying to put Sulemana in the shop window at this point because there's no way he keeps getting chance after chance otherwise. Also starting Bree, KWP and Manning!? You what!? And no recognised striker.

    There's been so much **** this season that I'd almost forgotten this but remember the Bournemouth match when Martin put five strikers on the bench and said afterwards it was because we were struggling for goals <laugh>

    Maybe RM wasn't the problem there then? Who'd have thought that ...

    Looks like Swansea have made five changes from their previous league game

    Martin was the problem for many many things this season but I'm fairly certain ABK wasn't one of them.

    I'm baffled with that lineup.

    Either genius or madness.

    I’m leaning heavily on the latter

    Yeah I don’t think anyone thought that one was on him. Anyone with a brain that is.

    I feel sorry for Fernandes and Dibling trying to make football happen in among that dross, hope they play close to each other, as if we do anything today surely it's from those two linking up.

    We're hoping we can take it to penalties. Hence no Archer.

    I don’t think Archer or Armstrong are the greatest central strikers, but they’re better than no one.

    My only other thought is that he is putting Aribo up top, which I think would be a smart move

    Could be a message to his employer, you bought this lot, last week didn’t work, so here’s another version! Let’s see if they do any better?

    The worrying thing about Sulemana is that in every interview, when his name comes up, Juric says he is a good player.
    I’m sure there were one or two on here, last season, suggesting that Sulemana is played down the middle, so we may actually get to see if he can play in that position.
    Or find out that Juric has been told that Dibling can play in the false 9 position and that is the game plan. :emoticon-0127-lipss
