Doesn't sound like it will be enough to keep him out for a couple of games though. Would love to see someone else given an opportunity.
Not happy with that. Bru and Oar to start the next match. AMN for impact sub. Why does Mick feel that he has to play all four strikers every match?
Not good but not unexpected, back 5 is wrong, cm is wrong and why he keeps moving Sears out wide is beyond me!!
Bart Emmanuel Yorwerth Berra Parr Oar Bru Skuse Fraser Pitman Sears Subs Bish, AMN, Malarcych, Gerken, Murph, Didz, Smiff
My thoughts too Spanish. I think he justifies it because every time Sears goes out wide he either scores or creates a goal. Chambers is only any good at RB with a defensive player in front of him and his passing is abysmal. He gives possession away all the time. Emmanuel to be given a chance please. Will go easy on Knudsen for now, he'll get better. Murphy definitely not at the races, he won't replicate his form from last season.
Game we should have won, again it sounds like defensive frailty that is costing us. Today may have been an 'unlucky' deflection but 1 clean sheet all season suggests something deeper needs fixing. Whether that's moving chambers into the middle and throwing Emmanuel into the mix or replacing Smith with any of the two from Wednesday or something more drastic I don't know but it can't stay as it is. Midfield, with most of them injured or not fully fit its hard to see what else can be done but Skuse Douglas cannot be a permanent partnership. Attack Murphy needs to be a bench player until he's back to full fitness. McGoldrick and Sears should start with AMN and Fraser on the wings. Square pegs etc. But its another point towards the final total, learn and move on to the next one.
Another point towards safety, too many better teams than us imo!! Cant see us getting anything next week!! Mick is getting it wrong i think but hey hope he proves me wrong!! Just think his stubborness is costing us!!
Yeah agree with what I'm reading above... Skuse and Douglas doesn't work. Was Oar injured at Man U? Well least it wasn't a defeat.
I like the fact that Mick doesn't go for knee jerk reactions and has loyalty to certain players but surely that can only go so far. Definitely feel it's time to experiment with the back 4. I'd drop Chambers and Smith as I think most would agree with and bring in Yorworth along side Berra and Parr at right back. Difficult one for Mick to drop his captain but either bring him central or drop him.
