I think many of you could well be wrong and I agree with Wingy.

I reckon there has probably been a bug or illness or something going on in the camp. I know COVID is rife again. Just from my own experience this past week (missus has got it, her daughter had it, her dad got it, two of my missus,' friends have got it too and so has one of the friends' sons)

Would make sense. I don't think we should just assume Robins doesn't know what he's doing, or has lost the plot.

He did the same the other game?

You’d have to ask serious questions if it is fitness for Sakamoto - we played Monday - he should have recovered to start today

I wonder if the plan isn’t to rotate everyone all season. Dasilva and Wilson are about the only constants.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I'd be surprised if Ayari plays. Possibly sub.

Mark Robins think's differently.

As much as you disagreed with the notion that his minutes being managed rather than him being dropped (which is fine, you're allowed to be wrong ), I agree with your point he should be recovering in that time period and able to start.

 

[stevefloyd]

Cancellations started days ago.

Perhaps they knew was about to happen

 

[Jamesimus]

Let's see if ayari does better than last time he dropped saka for him

I'm not sure if he can be worse

 

[TomRad85]

I’m logging off anyway. Had a tough week and the constant negativity on here is just mind numbing. Hope we surprise a few people today. If we lose I expect the usual complete meltdowns.
come on lads #PUSB

Its a football forum and the season has been a complete turd so far. Big money signings aren't firing and the manager appears to have absolutely no idea what his best team is. I'm not sure what you expect the comments to be tbh. There's been a few nice posts about how good our xG is if you're looking for variety.

I hope we don’t get mauled today, that team worries me. Well, they worry me regardless, but I trust MR.

PUSB. ⚽️

 

[Nick]

Come on then. Into them early

 

[SkyblueDad]

It’s certainly a different team to what I expected, it’s a case of sit back try and enjoy and chew the fat over it at 5 O’Clock.

 

[shmmeee]

Running late getting home. Lots of commentary on here next ten mins please

 

[Nick]

Who's going to take corners today?

 

[stevefloyd]

Ive been dragged to bleeding Birmingham shopping ffs plenty of positive updates ta

 

[Sick Boy]

Wilson’s kicking has been on point so far

 

[stevefloyd]

Yeah but who's point?

 

[Nick]

Ayari needs to stop giving it away

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sheaf needs to release the ball a lot quicker, not sure what he's waiting for

I am desperate for Wright to do well but ffs hold the hall up.

 

[Nick]

We look ropey at the back

 

[Skyblue_CP]

DaSilva loves putting us back under pressure

 

[fernandopartridge]

Wright runs into a huge gap in their defence and we're just not looking for it. The players need to realise that keeping ball isn't just playing it square

[Nick]

We don't know how to get past their press.

 

[Fysnkysc]

We don't like to press and move this season do we? Win the ball back from a sloppy pass and they just stand still.

 

[Fysnkysc]

Huge let off that.

 

[Nick]

All bunched up around our own box.

We can't get out our half when they press.

 

[Nick]

Are we inviting all this pressure to try and counter?

 

[OldBedrocker]

Been so slow getting it forward all season

 

[Sick Boy]

Are we inviting all this pressure to try and counter?

It looks like we're just waiting to pass it around the back slowly.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Why do the players look so uncomfortable in possession?

 

[Alkhen]

“You’re not attaching enough lad. That’s why I’m putting a CB in for you”

I thought you said Lati was a Defensive Midfielder??

 

[fernandopartridge]

Wright just needs to be so much more aggressive, believe that it's his ball. He's just so passive

[Nick]

Wright needs to toughen up. So soft and polite.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Wright plays like he's scared of physical contact. It's weird. Pretending to jump for headers and closing down players with zero intention of actually putting a foot in.

 

[Seymour_East]

Ffs Hadji a little more aggression please

 

[jmorr]

Wright seems to have no get-up-and-go. If it is 50-50 he is guaranteed to lose out.
