Well yeah, tell our players that when they let him waltz about with all the time in the world.

grimes plant one on him early doors rattle him for the whole game

Tats isn't a striker though

The ability to retain possession and precision with the ball is of more use than being a striker - particularly away from home. And Tats can score

Fadz sat in front of us. His head isn't that massive.

541 hasn’t really worked for us, ends up with the striker isolated and is having trouble getting up the pitch.

BTA has scored more than Tats

repeat: we are away from home

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Hope Torp's injury isn't too bad. Any news on this?

 

[shmmeee]

repeat: we are away from home

So playing with ten players unable to get out of our own half even more important. We tried it against Ipswich and it was a disaster. We’re better playing out football in the oppositions half.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

We are playing two up top ?

 

[Samueljames1991]

Step up Josh The Destroyer Eccles.

His performance against O'Hare in the Sheffield game was incredible for this reason.

If he played with that aggression all the time he would be in the first team still

 

[Jamesimus]

Chair, Bannon and Grimes are the top midfielders for the clubs outside the top 6.

Hackney, Slimane, Chakvetadze, Nunez, Marcondes?

It's more that they're heavily reliant on him to play a certain way and pretty much everything goes through him. Makes it more difficult for them to find any kind of flow when he's not in the side.

To be fair though they won against Swansea without him, although I'm not sure I'd use that game as a litmus test given their form.

Yeah I guess that certainly makes sense

Are you on about the same Sakamoto?

repeat: we are away from home

Where we've won the last couple with those two up front

 

[skyblue_55]

Are these Wednesday wankers trying to burst our ear drums, with the over amplified noise…… stupid !

 

[chiefdave]

Can we pick someone to be captain who is going to play every week rather than keep changing every game

The problem against Ipswich and Leeds was not the tactical formation 5-3-2 or whatever, it was the strategic idea of taking a high defensive line. It almost cost us against QPR as well if it had not been for Dovin. They just cut through it. We could have had 20 defenders

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Watch out for Barry Bannon - end

I think it was both. Saka and Rudoni don’t get up and support the striker and the central two are defensive minded. Just my opinion but I think we work much better with two up if we’ve got no wide forwards.

 

[Lamps]

I agree.

But brought on Grimes who organised everything. Didn't tread on toes. Didn't take a players place. Hopefully earns his place so no arguments or resistance and keeps harmony in the side and takes the captains armband.

 

[shmmeee]

Fadz in the away end. Love that man so much.

 

[Tommo1993]

Another struggling pitch

 

[Noble]

The white socks look odd

 

[shmmeee]

Do like how we’ve started to take the piss at throwins like everyone else under Lampard.

 

[robbiekeane]

like one of those videos taking the piss out of sunday league so far

 

[Nick]

Has the ball got helium in?

 

[napolimp]

Who's that short old guy in midfield for Wednesday?

 

[shmmeee]

Fucks sake Ellis

 

[Nick]

Why did lati just turn in rather than the quick ball to mve?

 

[Lamps]

The white socks look odd

Should have washed them all in bleach.

 

[robbiekeane]

grimes most obvious impact is just having someone who always comes wants the ball from the defence and not shitting himself when receiving it

 

[shmmeee]

I have an irrational hatred of Beadle. Looks like he owns an anime pillow.

 

[Nick]

Poor ball from mve

 

[robbiekeane]

bannon got to be a contender for hair transplant surely

 

[Nick]

Jealousy isn't a good trait

 

[ccfcchris]

Carnage.

 

[Nick]

Eccles done too easy
