KJT123 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Wide players of Taylor, Adomah, Hutton and Elmo. That screams lots of aimless crosses from deep to an isolated target man. Lovely stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the player we tried to loan out is the first choice... I'm not trying to complain about it, I would really just like to understand why it makes sense to Bruce. When you put it like that....

Abraham to be the latest player who scores tons elsewhere to rock up here and score nothing looking isolated and alone.

HongKongVillan Posted September 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Every game and team sheets go by, cant help but think Bruce is here to sabotage this season Edited September 15, 2018 by kwoktolai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Looks a very defensive line up to me. I guess after the last horror show Bruce is going for tight defence, so I don’t expect us to be playing expansive free flowing football. It will be keep it tight early on (or at least try to), and try to nick one as the game goes on. I am not confident we will be able to keep it tight, too many individual errors in our players will always gift the opposition with a chance or two. I hope I am proven wrong though.

srsmithusa Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 As I look at this match, I think it will come down to blackburns midfield. If they play aggressive and press high, we will lose. We're not set up to handle that. Fingers crossed they are told to sit back and contain. Our chances increase greatly if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same token lose today and we are bottom half (13th) and closer to relegation than promotion. I hope we win but I am baffled by the teamsheet (again). 6 defensive players starting? Hardly shouts out of going for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 They are unbeaten in 23 and will be massively pumped up for this. A point would normally be an ok result but after dropping 4 to reading and Ipswich a points no longer enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcginn adomah Grealish Abraham i won’t have a problem if we start like that. Although crosses from Hutton, Elmo, Taylor and Adomah don't exactly fill me with confidence....

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Elmo must have a tape of him ploughing into Bruce's daughter or something. El Ghazi has a goal and assist in his last two league games so of course makes total sense to drop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Last team selection from this fool I predict. Awful, defensive, cowardly selection. Don’t deserve to win. Sacked in the morning, sacked in the morning..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
