I think he has a good point

We've already had the wak up call haven't we?

There are no excuses for today, every single one of these players should be up to speed with how we play.

There is a case for the defence, Bogle and Rodon are yet to click properly, Pascal and Firpo the same, also Rodon and Pascal haven't many games under their belt together, and the problem of Firpo, solved by DF with Ampadu and Kamara needs watching.

The rest if good enough should be able to step up, although i worry about Piroe.

Gnonto should be able to match Jimmy, James and Bogle should be ok, but Piroes inclusion has the potential for everything to break down, he could make or break this game.

Joseph should be running his nuts off creating gaps and space to run into, Piroe should have the intelligence to exploit them.

Great to see Stuarty Dallas in the Sky studio today, if we had a few more like him………………………..

Hard to use our bench as aN excuse when you look at that.

Lewis Dobbin who got only 3 goals and 4 assists in League 1.

Devante Cole spent his whole career in League 1 or below but never scored 20 goals and has 1 goal in 20 Championship games.

I imagine theyd swap them for Aaronson, Gelhardt and Bamford in a heartbeat
Bang average Championship outfit, which is what we're heading for, and worse, if we stay in this division.

This is what your team looks like when you stay in the Champ for a few seasons.

Oh Jesus Christ, we're now to be told a £15m player shouldn't be able to play another position in the Championship ffs.

I give up :roll:

The feckin lightweight should show his metal and make it work ffs.

And to not use subs when we've Aaronson and Rothwell on the bench is stupidity in itself :roll:

Same here Tyzy, we should be approaching matches with confidence and anticipation.

But we're back to dreading what will happen on match day.

All thanks to these parasite locusts that call themselves owners and investors :x

f**k them and the horse they rode in on :evil:

I hope it’s not another passive performance from Piroe - too often the game just goes around him. Personally would prefer Aaronson starts there

Debayo for Piroe. We're short an attacker.

Feel like Corberan is tactivally superior to Farke, we'll need to rely on individuals today and we've sold the best of them!

Never seen Firpo that far right so many times, is this an instruction?
