Robins and Lati is the greatest love story ever told.

So much for our depth in attacking areas, one injury and we are fucked. Would have thought EMC would play instead of Tatsu but maybe he is playing left if Haji is being rested

I've no real issue with MvE playing the more advanced role except for the lack of cover at RB. If it's a 3 - I would have gone binks over jet lagged Lati. What I hadn't expected is that Wright aside our bench suddenly looks a bit 'meh' again.

Edit: could have been a bit harsh on the bench looking at it again.

Would be odd if it's 3-5-2 and he's gone with EMC and Simms instead of Bassette and Simms.. but the way they have the lineup listed, it seems that way?

Could be that joel is playing holding midfield and we aren't playing wing backs , either way jeol had to play because well why wouldn't he

It's getting on my fucking tits. I'm bored of it.

I like Torp, and I think he is and will be very good, but I can’t quite work out what he is - I don’t think he’s a DM, so either Eccles will play defensively on his own holding, with Torp and Rudoni in front of him, which scares me a little, or Rudoni will play alongside Eccles maybe, with Torp further forward?

I’d like to see BTA given a shot in the more forward position, it might not work but with his pace and direct runs it might…

 

[Seamus1]

Better chance of a clean sheet without Binks in the team at least

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

If MVE is playing right wing, surely it would have been better to play BTA/Wright/Bassette there and have MVE at right back instead of Lati

 

[ptr]

Bet BTA is buzzing he moved to us.

 

[Evo1883]

Could be 4141 with Claude makalele playing behind the midfield

 

[SBAndy]

Could be the box formation?

 

[Marty]

Bet BTA is buzzing he moved to us.

He knew he was back up before he arrived. Strange we signed him and Bassette though.

 

[fatso]

Well on a plus point, it looks like we're concentrating on the cup this year.


Let's just agree to put this defeat behind us and look forward to beating Tottenham U21's on Wednesday!

 

[Jamesimus]

MR is either picking the team drunk or a genius

Atleast it will make for interesting viewing

Pretty sure it’s Latibeaudiere picking the team at this point

 

[Cov98]

One thing is that Robins odd lineups actually tend to work quite well, so might not be as bad as people think.

Although it could also be a fucking disaster who knows

 

[skybluecam]

No bloody beer in the concourse. wtf?

 

[quinn1971]

great tactic, confuse the opposition, who cares what the formation is so long as it works, id thought we’d of put an extra body in midfield seeing as that’s where we’re struggling, still looks like torp Eccles rudoni ? Unless he’s dropping lati in there ?

 

[Balli001]

There wasn't last year

Worryingly average line up.

was just going to say, the bench is definitely stronger, and remember two or three players also out, but it still does look like we haven’t quite built a strong enough squad to challenge seriously this season - might be a different story when RBR is fit and January comes around, who knows

assume MVE drops back when needed, and Lati covers when needed - if it worked against a premier league team it should be pretty effective against Watford

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If he's gone back to this bullshit already he's gone mad.

sakamoto, wright and sheaf would be starting, prob about the best he can pick to start we‘ll nick a win

 

[Para1140]

Oxford up to 6th. Stoke look utter shit. How did we lose them

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Hate that team so no doubt we’ll win today

Oxford beat Norwich and Stoke now. Shows how pathetic we've been.

Sheaf not even on the bench. That midfield of Eccles and Torpe couldnt pass their way out of a paper bag

What a Waste of Space Sheaf is, we get Told his Injury's are NOT Serious and then he's OUT for Mouth's and Mouth's

I think it’s pretty mad that we made Stoke look like world beaters. Oxford even managed more possession against them, which is mad considering they clearly lacked a lot of quality from what I saw. Fair play to the Oxfords!

The problem in midfield 2nd half v Norwich wasn’t lack of bodies, it was lack of trust & understanding in the shape we were playing.

 

[Nick]

Bobby madley the ref too. Fuck sake

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

What does Robins see in Latibeaudiere that makes him undroppable. I don’t understand how Wright, our best attacker, HAS to be rested after being on international duty but Laitbeaudiere is apparently so essential that he has to play.

The bench is okish. It is what we have said though it's the strength in depth still lacking. From the first team picture I guess Moore was the outfield player to miss out, has he played at all for the u23s or u21s this season? Just hope we get no more injuries and Sheaf and Saka are back quickly

We had a really easy start to the season tbh. 4 points from the games we’ve had is so poor.
