Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 In a weird way the injuries might play into our favour for the West Brom gams. A forced 4-4-2 with Murphy and Fraser on the wings, Haydon and Willock in the middle and the old fashioned Big man / Little man combo upfront with Gayle and either of AC or Joelinton. No frills, nothing clever. Plays right into Bruce's hands and a direct approach like this might not be the worst thing in the world against a Big Sam team. Of course this all falls apart when Bruce sticks Haydon at RB, Ritchie at RW, Shelvey in the middle then tries to be clever to with 2 false 9's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Not gonna happen. They’ll rush Manquillo back, play Fraser in Miggy’s role and partner Joe and AN Other up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Southampton got to be in danger of getting dragged in. Got some quality in them but form absolutely awful, worse than ours or anyone's. 4 points ahead of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Southampton got to be in danger of getting dragged in. Got some quality in them but form absolutely awful, worse than ours or anyone's. 4 points ahead of us. That’d require us to win two games. There’s only 12 games left and we’ve only won two out of the previous 15. We’ve also had the ‘new hidden manager bounce’ after Jones came in. With the injuries to ASM, Miggy and Wilson we’ll be lucky to reach two more wins. The only way we’re staying up this season is if Bruce is sacked.

Wallsendmag Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've moved from a 9 to a 9.5 now. I think this just about seals it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 By the time they and Wilson are back it might be too late by then. I’ve thought for weeks now that the goal difference between us and Fulham will come into play by last day of season. We could be 3 points down needing a 6-0 win.

Pilko Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 We're basically relying on our ability to get some draws in the next few weeks before those 3 come back and get us the 2 or 3 wins we'll then need to stay up. Don't see it personally, think this is us done. Potentially even if we now chop Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Run of fixtures when they're due back is grim anyway - Spurs, Burnley, West Ham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester & City. Next 3 games are key, and we're missing our only 3 goal threats. Game over, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 That's devastating, like. We can't beat West Brom with Fraser-Gayle-Joelinton. Didn't think there was ever a chance against Villa or Brighton, so we're banking on their return bringing a home win vs West Ham, Spurs or Arsenal.

Infinitely Content Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Wonder if Jones will look to move Willock into the Almiron role with Fraser and Joelinton either side. It's obvious Gayle can't play any role in this system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Probably up to a 7 now. Will be 8 if we don’t win at the weekend. Incredible really. We shouldn’t be anywhere near relegation this season with the players at our disposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I think Fulham will stay up comfortably now, for them it was all about turning draws into wins and they’ve started to do it. We are in a direct showdown with Brighton and Burnley. Brighton look vulnerable but that could change if they beat us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I feel like I want us to stay up even more now as I can’t be arsed listening to him blaming the injury crisis on every pundit role he gets after he’s sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
