  1. Tough choice - Hate or Greed.
  2. We play with three forward players - I think at the moment the first choice three are Ayew, Kodjia and Adomah. The second choice three are Grealish, McCormack and Gestede. I make Gabby 7th choice for one of three positions at the moment, just ahead of Green and Hepburn-Murphy. With Ayew, Adomah and Grealish potentially out on Saturday, I think that should put him on the bench. It's also tremendous depth - I have no idea who our 7th choice is for a midfield berth.
  3. We were second best against Wolves and lucky to get a point, we were perhaps a little fortunate to win against Reading in a reasonably even game, we edged Fulham whilst not really playing well for an hour and (whisper it) but we were perhaps a little fortunate to get a point in our last one. We're on a good run for a team playing badly. I'd like to see the run continue and the performance improve.
  4. Absolutely. That said, we could still play McCormack behind Kodjia and Gestede with Gabby on the bench before we even start looking at some of the young talent we have - it's an embarrassment of riches going forwards thankfully.
  5. Although it's Grealish's injury that's most likely to benefit his first team chances.
  6. Looks like he's being substituted after 35 minutes of tonight's reserve game, possibly injured. Bugger.
  7. Interesting reserves line up tonight with Grealish, Agbonlahor and Tshibola all starting.
  8. Dem, how do you mean? I'd see this as --------------------------McCormack-----------------------Kodjia ----------------------------Gestede-------------------------------- Who would you have on the right?
  9. Depending on Adomah's fitness, we could be looking at ---------------------Gollini--------------------- Hutton-----Chester-------Baker------Amavi ------Westwood--Jedinak--Gardner-------- --------------------Grealish------------------- ------------Kodjia----------Gestede---------- Losing both Ayew and Adomah is a bit of a loss and will cost us some width - it's also a bit tough on McCormack to not have him in that starting eleven and Tshibola could start ahead of Westwood. It'll be interesting to see what Bruce does - if he wants to keep the formation we've played, then I guess we'll need to move Kodjia out wide.
  10. The beeb has the crowd at 29,500 odd - which means 500 off capacity - it looked to me like there were a couple of thousand seats empty for segregation and a lot of gaps in their stand. Bit baffled by that.
  11. I thought he did okay. I think there's the potential for him to play the ten minute sub role a bit.
  12. I thought he was very good today, defensively sharp and snappy in the tackle - he's not quite back to his best yet, but he's certainly on the way.
  13. I thought he did well today out of position, worked hard and he's decent on the ball. He's unfortunate, he's not pacy or physical, he's technical and clever - in a team that builds through the middle, moves defenders around and plays an incisive passing game, he'd be very very good. Sadly for him, we're the opposite of that and it's hard to see him starting a lot of games.
  14. Showed a bit of character and came away with a point. We're a rebuilding club and we're unbeaten in four. As much as you'd like to beat these - that'll do.
  15. Nathan Baker gets a bronze sew on patch from the EFL there for his 250th header of this game.
  16. Pop him on the orange canoe and send him home.
  17. Jeepers. That's some miss. It was never a corner to start with mind you.
  18. Who would you take off for him. I know it would be very harsh, but I'd have McCormack off.
  19. I think they might get a bit cocky and leave a hole at the back.
  20. jesus. We're lucky there. We desperately need to have a bit of possession.
  21. Balls. It will be like this as long as we aren't a team that's capable of having some sort of control of the ball in games.
  22. Gollini is very good on those one on one situations.
