1964 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think our claim to 'fuck up other week' is stronger, the West Ham one is bad but they would have been claiming a pen for similar contact if bowen had nicked the ball past Mendy and dived. Still a shit decision but ours was shitter in the VAR toilet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Just now, WarrenBartonCentrePartin said: Has Wilson ever been back when expected?! No. But there is always hope.

That's precisely why it was so important to get Isak through the door. Now it doesn't feel as desperate to have him back, I'm more concerned about the RW slot. You could play Miggy or Fraser there, but I guess Miggy will get the nod as he is still more of an asset without the end product than Fraser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) There couldn't be a worse game for us after the recent disgraceful decisions conning us out of points...West Ham away. If any team is gonna suffer from refereeing/VAR decisions against them in this game, it won't be the home team. I'm expecting the worst already tbh.

mighty__mag Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Need Almiron as a 10, Anderson starting Left side, where Bristol fans said he played his best. ASM.on the right. I'm sure not everyone is available, but if they were, this could be a our strongest side minus Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 As a complete guess based off IG stories/posts I reckon Bruno will make it but ASM will just miss out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Although I quite like that formation too I don't see Howe deviating from what he's mostly played Though I reckon if we got Maddison then we might have seen that but for now he'll stick to 4-3-3, especially in away games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I think a game of interest to the coaching team will West Ham 0-2 Brighton. West Ham looked really vulnerable to the counter attack. Brighton were able to play through the Rice-Soucek double pivot and Welbeck and Trossard in particular caused chaos running at Coufal and Kehrer. Having Bruno back for this will be key. He's the only one capable of playing those line breaking passes. If we defend our set pieces well and set ourselves up to counter, I think we could well turn these over.

This is going to get tiresome over a season. If Bruno is our only hope than we better get a creative passer in January so we can by without him, even if it means selling one of our other non creative CMs i.e. Longstaff or Willock.

Longstaff is great to bring on with ten mins remaining to see out a game defensively. He offers very average attacking intent and gets dispossed far too often for me. Willock i like, but at the moment I am thinking Elliot could offer more to us than him, but perhaps it would require a system change as he seems to prefer the left hand side...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 We need a couple more top midfielders probably, the question is when. You can't just bin off your whole squad in one go. Or at least, that's not the plan we've decided on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit worried people are expecting too much of Elliott. In the games he's played so far, he's looked very positive and direct, but it's a big jump up in levels for him, and he's finding it as hard to deliver end product as all the others.

Aye, for me it is to swap him and willock depending on how the game is going... little by little bring him in and build his confidence... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought he showed he wanted it enough, there was talk that he preferred a move south, although no idea if that is true or not. In any case, he needs to pull his finger out and help Leicester up the table. Or alternatively he could go into holiday mode and leave on a reduced fee next year.
