SteV Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Interesting that Schlupp went off injured yesterday and was replaced by the young lad, Rak-Sakyi. Their fans actually seem relatively happy with that, as he’s a far more ‘exciting’ option, but given Hodgson picks Schlupp every single week, you wonder whether it will weaken them a touch defensively, or shape-wise?

Tbf I don't think Roy had a lot of choice looking at the bench. A keeper, three centre halves, and untried academy lads. Can't be going 5 at the back at home & Rak-Sakyi at least has senior loan experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 8 games 12 points Scored 7 conceded 7 The most boring club in the premier league. I wish they'd fuck off with their shite drum and wannabe ultras and go back to sub 10k crowds in the championship Probably the most irrational hate ive got for any premier league club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pubteam Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 This will be an interesting game to see how far we have developed as an attacking team. Set pieces could be critical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I think Hodgy will hoy every fucker behind the ball against us. Just hope we can beat these this year sick of getting draws against teams like Palace and bournemouth with there anti football setups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 We’ll win this comfortably IMO, they don’t have the threat that even West Ham have. Might not be a hammering because they will sit back, but we’ll score a couple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 They're always annoyingly solid and boring at the back like. I think if we get one the floodgates could open, but getting that first one tends to be really hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I’d be tempted to play Wilson and Isak together as an out and out 2 for this. If they’re missing Eze and Olise we should be fairly dominant with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we will play anything other than 4-3-3 under Eddie Be isak on the left if both play which I doubt Edited October 10, 2023 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 We need to consider rotation as well, big risk playing both our strikers at once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ambition as a club whatsoever other than to prolong Hodgson. I realise this is rich with us basically floating for 14 years under the fat sloth’s ownership but still.

Kanj Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Our previous matches last year came at a time we were struggling a bit for form and dealing with injuries and transition in team no? right now you’d argue we’re as good as we can be and have the benefit of two home games + players returning from injuries.

Groundhog63 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Had a proper mindfuck this morning. I'm a bit under the weather having, probs, caught covid off of Mrs G. Confined to the huffy bed on account of my coughing as she's back to graft and I got up at 3am for paracetamols and a drink (H2O) Bear in mind I'd forgot to ballot for Palace tickets. I'm lying in the conservatory so browsed the Internet. Went on my NUFC account and had a look at ballots. Showed up error, so checked ticket history. Lo and behold we've got Palace tickets. "Get in!! says I " I must've entered, fuck me, what am I like. Can't wait to tell her when she's up" Obvs, turns out it was last year's cup game, ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 We need this international break to get some of our injury crew back into the team, especially Botman and even Calum to help ease the load on isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
