    Having served up dross our last 2 matches, will it be a dross hat trick v Brighton or can we hope for some improvement??
    All down to Maresca again.
    Will he get his selections right, his subs right or his tactics right ?? Or even one of them right?? Will it be back 4 Mogodon or will we see someone actually run ??
    Hope springs eternal, but heart says prepare for another sluggish game of long ball chasing with nothing direct from the midfield.
    Scoreline?? A very hopeful 2-0 !!

    Hmm yet another classy defensive display let me guess was that the Franco Baresi model 2.0? That World Club championship podium is beginning to look like an albatross round our necks with every game that passes; 7 competitive games pre-season is taking its toll - a long season beckons me thinks.

    Not much to say about a team that can’t score with all the ball and makes dopey mistakes.
    Top to bottom, we are a rudderless ship.
    A inexperienced, intransigent 2nd rate Manager hamstrung by a pair of terrible Football Directors, clueless owners and a lunatic player policy based around profit.
    Short term, a more experienced Manager is the best fix, but that doesn’t change the bigger problems.
    Still, unless we can best utilise the talent we do have, and start playing the football the players and fans can relate to, we are certain to start losing what talent we do have.
    Watching this atrocious play is doing my head in. Can’t even be bothered to watch the games live now at midnight or 4 am, so have resorted to replays before hearing any results.
