Crofty_11 206 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Could these 4 be in contention for Wednesday night &/or next Saturday? We simply can’t afford to be missing these players, especially during periods of the season you’d consider to be slightly easier in terms of picking up points. Without Brown, 3-5-2 simply doesn’t work. Even with Monk in charge, I think we’d have won today if our strongest 11 was available. Link to post Share on other sites

horny owl 7,442 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 We’re desperate for them to come back Today was probably the worst Wednesday performance I’ve seen and I’ve been watching this rubbish since 81 Link to post Share on other sites
SallyCinnamon 18,045 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 If the system was right we’d have still got a result today. Clubs get injuries. There is no excuse for losing at home to Luton. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They need to be ready for Wednesday night if we’ve got any chance of getting out of this mess. Link to post Share on other sites
hirstyboywonder 11,017 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 1 minute ago, horny owl said: We’re desperate for them to come back Today was probably the worst Wednesday performance I’ve seen and I’ve been watching this rubbish since 81 How many games have you seen in the past year? Brentford away March 2020, 3-0 down at half-time, 5-0 result. Blackburn home January 2020, 3-0 down at half-time - 5-0 result. Reading home, February 2020, 3-0. Derby home, February 2020, 3-0 down at half-time. An inspired Monk half-time team talk enabled us to only lose 3-1 The Luton and Wigan away games lat season - utter tripe. Middlesbrough home, last game of last season, contrived to lose 2-1 to a team playing for a draw. The recent game against QPR was only marginally better than todays performance. Plenty of contenders unfortunately. Monk has been inept without Fletcher. He has one approach to the game regardless of formation and it only worked when we had an effective target man. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If we can’t win it at least get a draw. To lose today is pathetic and to lose in the manner we did is worse. We offered absolutely nothing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Blatter 2,753 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 18 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: They're injured aren't they? I think the question was whether any of them will have recovered in time for our next two games. As Brown and Iorfa seem to be back in training this week the answer ought to be yes, along with Palmer, an un used sub today. Link to post Share on other sites
bradowl 8,367 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 These players are missed but not where we need some inspiration up front, we just struggle to creat chances and look so easy for opposition to defend against us. None of forwards look like scoring. I can't see current squad of players going on the run we need to escape relegation, odd decent away performance isn't going to be enough. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think he is part of the problem, the others are Chairman (part), Players and Coaching Staff. As fans we deserve more. I know all fans of different clubs say the same but with our setup we should be in or about the Premiership now. At the moment we hope for the best but fear the worst, it feels like we are cursed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
