Problem is, they've got every chance of beating us as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s literally no excuse for it whatsoever. Get Dummett in behind St Max, yeah he's not great either but he's easily our best defensive LB.

Ikon Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Watford aren't good, neither are we. But the pressure on the players will be insane for this. If I had to i would put my bet on Watford. Hope to God I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Monumental fixture tbh. Not quite as perilous as Portsmouth (H) Kelly winner but it's not far away. Absolutely pivotal fixture for the next few years of the club, no shit, not joking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm going to sound totally off piste here - yes it's a huge game in the context of this season, but I'm not really shitting it like I would under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Quite telling that in the reverse fixture, under Bruce, we battered them and fully deserved to win but we didn't due to not taking our chances. We also had no Wilson in the squad that day. A striker is a must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) New centre half and centre forward in and I reckon a comfy 2-0 1-3 loss without them. Pressure on the recruitment team as much as the manager this week IMHO. They had to know before 1st Jan that this game is liable to define the season. If we go into that game with only a new RB, then they've been negligent. I think we'll have at least one new signing this week though, so I remain reasonably optimistic.

If the owners want us to stay up, they are going to have to make a signing pretty much every week in January now. Especially if the rumours of us making up to 6 signings are true. We've only got 1 in so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs are very aware of our need and will be holding out for the extra money, you watch . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'd rather play Krafth than Ritchie like. He's not actually looking too bad right now. I'd even rather play Krafth on the left if Dummett isn't ready. This is assuming we don't have to play him centre back because Schar is our only one.

Those 2 sentences just show what a fucking shit squad we have. We dont even have the basic cover to play people in their correct positions, never mind trying to improve on the players we have in those positions.

Mazzy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Not that I want him in the team in any way, shape or form but Clark would be another option at LB. He's left footed and played there a fair amount when he was younger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
