It's not particularly that mad. EMC has been poor since his return from injury. As mentioned as long as Wright stays injury free it isn't an issue.

I keep saying this to people but no one wants to accept it for some reason. Some even lose their head over the suggestion
Still crying are we?
Others will have to step up.
Lati in for Thomas. For all his limitations on the ball he’s a better defender than Binks.
Collins
MVE Lati Kitching Dasilva
Sheaf Grimes
Saka Rudoni Wright
Simms
Still looks a capable team to me

Rudoni was all game too

It's naive to think they don't. In an industry that spends millions on getting fraction of a percent improvements apparently someone looking at socials to see if anything has been spilled is beyond them.

And lets not forget we also have a keeper who is a disaster when balls are lumped or crossed into the box so now Hull will be aiming to do this with the knowledge of Thomas being out

I think it's a bit cuntish to blab this all over message boards. Hope the leaker at the Club is caught and dealt with too.

I think the Sunderland game made us think Wright was the answer through the middle and Allen should be starting. Don't think games since proved that.
Simms is more effective as the battering ram which in every game except Sunderland, has been what the system we play asks of the player in that position.
EMC looked fine in most games recently but I'd have started Simms with Wright on the left tonight even if EMC was fit. Don't think he nailed his spot down.

Give it a rest man FFS. You must be ignoring that Dovin's biggest weakness is his absolute inability to come for crosses.

Yep, let's shoot ourselves in the foot and give the opposition an advantage. Highly intelligent stuff from our resident ITK.

It’s fairly poor if EMC is actually out and he’s on the front of the match day promo preview or whatever you want to call it

Hanging around until 12 to see if the Luton tickets drop into the 1800+ bracket then setting off for Travelodge Hull Central.

Wright out left and Simms through the middle is a change a lot of fans wanted anyway.
Thomas is a big loss, but he’s also not entirely foolproof. He’s prone to errors and poor distribution, so let’s not escalate this to feel like we’ve lost prime Maldini. Lati is a step down, but he’s a solid enough defender and he’s entirely committed so he’ll give a good account of himself.
The starting XI is more than strong enough to win and the bench isn’t as weak as made out, Allen, Paterson, Bassette and Rafa can all change games. Granted to differing degrees, but this is still a step above our play off season bench offensively.

bit of a limp on his way back though

Depends on opposition. If a team plays a low block and their CBs are going to be stuck on Wright like bees to honey all game then Simms needs to come in.
I know people have their reservations about Simms but Wright may as well have not been on the pitch against Portsmouth. He clearly isn't at all comfortable with the physical demands of the role which in the Championship is really a non-negotiable.

That is not the point is it.
having any key squad player out is definitely not 'not an issue'They aren't Robots, form and fitness is fluid, some on here treat it like a binary thing 'hes been crap today so let's write him off' such a boneheaded attitude that some on here take. .Just because EMC hasn't been at his best doesn't mean he couldn't make an impact in the games left, he was the key guy a few weeks back.
Even if by some miracle all the players left stay fit they will get tired in matches and they will dip in and out of form. Missing EMC, Thomas and Torp is a massive blow if true.

Do you actually take time to read posts first or just blurt out the first slice of fresh gibberish that comes to mind?
I didn't say it wasn't an issue. I said it wasn't a massive blow, which it isn't - certainly not compared to Thomas being out which very much is given who's next in the pecking order.

Think I've seen you say the same thing about four times already this season. We're still in the top 6

He is blinded by his bizarre levels of self importance. He speaks to people on here like they're his disciples. He needs to have a word with himself.

Thomas did go down and look like he was struggling at times against Pompey...
