Erm no Sorry I'd had more than a few lagers What I actually meant is Rodwells composure on the ball would be good bringing the ball out the back rather than lumping balls to nobody. Bell would benefit from having another outlet too, I don't wanna get on the lads back but he was awful first half just spewing balls out of play. We NEED to master the art of possession football, its not hard but players like Rodwell make it ten times easier

I'm leaning towards a back 3 of mulgrew, Darragh and Rodders, with del boy the outlet from defence. Reminds me of Rio when he was decent and it'd be decent to have that option

DG warming up....

Yes I'm a stats nerd but I bet in play a lot. Last 15 could be interesting......

Tbf a hell of a lot of games start a bit cagey and scrappy like that and that's the nature of the game. People aren't half being dramatic, it wasn't THAT bad and we're not behind with that patched up defence. Some obvious weak points which hopefully will be addressed at HT

Bell needs a stern talking to at half time, if he keeps passing the ball to them it's gonna cost us eventually

Bell is having a stinker here, absolute bananas for boots

Around a thousand

Yeah as much respect as I have for TM, he comes across as a doddering fool at times

Have you ever said anything positive? We'll just get lenihan to break everyone's arm, one down already

Well he's not give much away in that interview apart from bemoaning injuries in defence and Graham being 33. Favouring nuttalls apparent mobility, we'll see

What an odd line up, look forward to his explanation on this one

In August, and we should have beat both as well even back then.

They aren't in THAT good form. They've beat Ipswich and Reading who are both absolutely tosh, and admittedly a decent result vs a Forest side who themselves only have a solitary win in 6 games. Our last 3 visits there have been a couple of 2-2 draws and a 2-1 win for us. Be sure to put Btts on your coupons ?

Bit selfish but I really hope Newcastle come down, what a weekend! Absolutely love the place and can't wait to go back. As for the game, we were unlucky to be fair. I know it's another late goal but I wouldn't really say we bottled it or anything. Sure both teams are a bit miffed off at the prospect of a replay, honestly wish it just went to penalties like the league cup

Another midfielder no better than the current crop? No ta

I was gonna say Accy to beat Ipswich, but upon checking they're actually favourites! Speaks volumes about how dreadful Ipswich are that a recently promoted team a league below them are favourites to win.

Looking forward to the whole day/night immensely. They've only won 1 in the last 8 and even that was against Huddersfield who I think we'd probably roll over too. I just hope he doesn't arse about with the team too much, long way to go this time of the year to watch a reserve line up and there's no need for it, they've got a full week to recover after.

No

The relevance of u19 football is that its a fecking tough dog eat dog World, it'd how u get them contracts with clubs. You've made your mind up already so just roll with it, not arsed, used to it now - usually post 95 fans

Your post made no sense, I was asking what u actually meant? If its starting then there lies the bloody problem, he's started 2 games! He's hardly built like a quaver, test him against that massive baggies defence, so immense they have ONE clean sheet away all season....

Staring? Or starting? Or starring?

With the way we (seemingly) want to play though it's essential we have some attacking input from the full backs. Not saying you're wrong though we can only dream of solidarity at the back!

That's a no then

Not sure about Mulgrew as a full back, he's seriously static way too much
