Doesn't matter to me who the 11 are none of them have been giving 100% I fear it is more than just we are a team of Joe Averages, defeat written all over this one.
I'm thinking along similar lines. In fact, I'm thinking that perhaps it's time to only play those that will be here next year, plus those that are 50/50. The youngsters can take up any remaining places. At least they'll show some hunger. Can't think of any good reason to play the worthless dross again.
3 at the back? We can't defend with 4. We are not getting top six,so play the youngsters,and don't even put the ones who won't be here next year on the bench. If we get hammered again,BM should resign. Just hope this takeover happens soon or this time next year we'll be in the same predicament as millwall,and they have two hopes to avoid relegation.
-----------------Butland------------------- Byram-----Zeliukas-----Pearce-----Warnock -----Brown------ Murphy-----Mowatt-----Pugh --------Wickham--------McCormack-------
Relying too heavily on Mowatt and McCormack for creativity imo. Although of the players we have its certainly not the worst we could put out.
Exactly, I have said it a couple of times already, send every loan player back, tell those out of contract not to turn up at the ground again (I know we have to pay them still but we would have to do that if they were turning up for training or not) and let's start shaping a team for next season in the worrying event that Cellino doesn't receive approval.
Interesting team selection with Pugh at LB & Byram back at RB. No natural width and Mowatt, Murphy & Austin to play in midfield, possibly with Pugh.
Out and about without radio this evening. Fingers crossed for a good result to prove my predictions wrong
Looks like 5-3-2 then with Byram and Pugh expected to get forward. I would imagine the team orders are for Lee's to cover RB when Byram makes a run and Pearce to do the same at LB when Pugh goes forward with Austin providing cover and dropping back, we shall see.... 30 Butland 25 Byram 16 Pugh 05 Pearce 24 Zaliukas 04 Lees 08 Austin 06 Murphy 44 McCormack 09 Wickham 36 Mowatt Substitutes 10 Hunt 17 Brown 20 Smith 22 Wootton 26 Poleon 28 Stewart 33 Cairns Poleon back on the bench, with Wickham and Ross starting and Smith and Hunt ahead of him in the pecking order he must be getting fed-up now.
I think this is how we set up best, if we can get Byram and Pugh into it there's a hope of some creativity from Mowatt and Murphy. And no sign of Kebe, even on the bench - I feel sorry for a previously good player, but we might even see a cross or two tonight. No more coddin' about, 3-1 Leeds.
Millwall don't really play the long ball do they.From tonights game at Blackpool.Morison has a shot assisted by goalkeeper Ford. oops and they are loseing
