v Coventry City (a) - 4/10/2023

[rigger]

And I now truly believe that JDT is picking teams as a big fuck you to his bosses.

A bit disappointing that Telelovic is rated below an AMC in the striker position. Oh well. Let's see what this team can do. I've seen ridiculous starting lineups many a time from old Tone and been surprised by the outcome. Hopefully tonight the same happens. 

Expand  

An AMC who I believe is third top scorer in the league? And scored from that position last match. JDT has been clear he doesn't think Telalovic has adjusted yet.

Guaranteed win with bonkers line-up.

It's a big Substantial legitimate thing to scrutinise though isn't it!!!!  (and what does decrying even mean) 

every single football fan on the planet scrutinises the match squad before kick off

Siggy one of our best players on the bench and we are starting the out of form Dolan, hopefully Dolan can have a good game. 

Midfield is piss weak btw, utter bizzare lineup 

Expand  

He's just come back from injury and needs to be eased back in.

A bit peculiar starting eleven. Will be interesting to see the formation. They're not the quickest side, so hopefully we can exploit that and D&D (Dilan 'n' Dolan) have a good game.

3 at the back probably.

Good point actually, I hadn't noticed Pickering wasn't in. Although Carter could be at RB or something.

It’s a forum revolving on opinions. Otherwise just shut the thread completely.

Some people think the line up is odd. Some don’t.  But if you don’t say what we think when it’s announced what’s the point of this board? 
 

 

Expand  

Im all for discussion, however posts like "Is JDT trying to get Sacked" is not a post looking to add to a discussion. Discuss the line up and ask questions about it. Decrying without context is not a post loooking to join a discussion, it's pointless hyperbole

Hill can play RB too but then I wouldn't know who's in midfield

So you think the medical team is now cutting corners?

Do you think the owners are instructing them to do so?

The reaction to some things on here is often mind-boggling.

Expand  

What's mind boggling is the total refusal of some folk to question the club in any way.

Yeah I know, it's just a shame that our fabled striker search in the summer yielded nothing of use, really. Maybe Ennis at some point in the future. Sammy is our best player and threat, but it's a bit like when Dack was played up top - I always felt like it limited his impact because that wasn't where he was best suited. It is what it is though.

11 years, so no...

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

I wasn’t really looking forward to the game till I saw the universal condemnation of the line up on here, so just bunged Roverstv £10 to watch a classic away win.

1-2 (Dublin; Oggy og, Fergie’s elbow)

[Blow-in]

JDT searching around the dusty stores, "what's this?" blows off the dust "why I do believe it's... a Tombola!!" "hmm this give me an idea"

No, most logical fans discuss the merits of one player over another, the formation ect. However here we have a all be it minority (although very vocal) that love to go way over the top without adding anything to a discussion. Guess I will just use the ignore feature...

I wonder if JDT really IS trying to get himself sacked.

Expand  

why would he do that? 

Yet again people Overreacted to a team selection. Why not wait until we see how they line up on the pitch. Wouldn't surprise me if we played Hill in centre mid with Wharton and JRC and Brittain as full backs

And Sigurdsson is coming back from injury. He has 4 games in 11 day period. We don't want to get injury again

He had a deal on offer at Plymouth and from his interview he turned down other interest to come here

Swansea was one of those clubs who wanted to sign

You'd think after 11 years you'd have learned to recognise sarcasm.

[RoverInverness]

Three at back with Britain LWB and JRC RWB - surely?

[Miller11]

Thank god JRC is back in. Hill deserves a start. Plenty have been shouting for a change of keeper. Not sure why there is so much negativity around the changes, I know Dolan isn’t flavour of the month at the moment be has been in rotten form, but Ireland he’s a better bet than Markanday. We’ll see the best of Sigurdsson when he’s up to speed, probably needs a rest just now.

He was saying it as a sarcastic joke mate, lighten up. 
3 points incoming and our march up the table begins. 

[A Northern Horde...]

Dolan leading the attack?

Christ on a bike...we'll win about 0-3 🤪

Who in Central midfield?

Well I hope to Christ that’s not the players in that formation 😂

Really need a win here, however we do it.
