Jesus wept, no Foster.

Here we go again. No sooner the team sheet drops that any hope or optimism that built during the week just goes out the window. Frightening how we've ended up in this mess, big win for Bournemouth today and other results not going our way and slowly we start to get cut adrift.

Jesus Christ. I’m going to revisit this thread at 5pm when none of that has happened

Jbg probably last 15 minutes before he comes off injured

Not sure I get the negativity around JBG, I think he adds some much needed steel and someone that is good on the ball. We should retain possession in midfield a lot better today.

I’m slightly concerned at our lack of out ball though. Amdouni struggles to hold the ball up

To be replaced by Bruun Larsen who will also last 15 minutes before being substituted.

If anyone complains about negativity on here just bear in mind that what we're all doing is psyching ourselves down so a point feels like a win

How an ageing JBG gets in the side before Larsen is baffling

JBG isn’t in ahead of JBL he is in ahead of Berge I guess Koleosho is in ahead of JBL.

Gudmondsson being ahead of Berge and Cork to play in midfield is crazy. And having that choice after how much we've spent is even worse

It's bonkers how it seems Gudmundsson is going to feature quite a lot for us if he's fit. He was on the wane at this level two seasons ago. And then, like you say, you add in how much we've spent...

To be fair, Cullen, Brownhill and JBG was the central three for our best run of form last season. Don't disagree though that with the money spent, we could have upgraded. At least with JBG in there the standard of our set pieces might improve a bit

It was the central three once we'd got so good we were running teams over every week. I'm not quite sure we're at that stage now

Luppy · Post by **Luppy** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:27 pm

Dreading the first set piece we have to defend with that line up....

JBG would start every game at the minute for me if he is fit. That is a bit of a damning indictment of recruitment, but we are where we are. Foster is a massive, massive miss.

Happy to see Gudmundsson in.

whiffa · Post by **whiffa** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:28 pm

I tihnk it's more likely Amdouni and JBG central with Zaroury and Koleosho on the wings no? JBG can still do a job in the middle, I'm surprised no Ramsay unless he's ill too?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:29 pm

JBG getting some stick it seems. I’ve felt we’ve missed him ever since he went off v United.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:29 pm

All I can see is more tinkering.
No Foster is really disappointing, but obviously one of those things, but this team has a feel of hit and hope about it. I can't say I'm feeling confident at all, intact I'm expecting another kicking.
From someone who has always been glass half full, we really are in **** Street.
I just hope I'm wrong.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:29 pm

Need a performance from Amdouni today - a goal would be welcomed too.

He tends to improve us which is a good thing of course. But I think it's mad that he's still required to play such a big role.

We also need our defence to look like a defence and not a colander.

Vincent as now changed ever position with different players either choice, injured, suspended, bar the gk , that should tell you all you need to know that he won't drop Trafford.

I wasn't around in the 1300's, but I imagine it was akin to our performance against Brentford in fairness

Just watched Brentford win at Chelsea. VK needs to watch a video of the game and he will see how to set up a team away from home in PL. Excellent by Brentford inc Nathan Collins who also was excellent against us last week

Is that the same Brentford that people on here were throwing a hissy fit over because we didn’t win?

Trafford hasn't been injured or suspended. Muric should play on Wednesday.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:35 pm

Losing Foster far from ideal, other than that we have a stiffened up midfield which we have been calling for. Only controversial pick is Koleosho on the right where he hasn’t shown anything, ahead of Larsen etc.

I would have played Berge on the right or Berge ahead of Brownhill and JBG on the right.

But we will see. In the manager I trust.

According to some on here, getting anything from a fixture against Chelsea is total pie in the sky... Brentford seem to have turned up today and hey presto.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:37 pm

Can someone more in know confirm if Cullen gets yellow today is that him suspended for the next game?

Nope, it's the same Brentford people were "throwing hissy fits over" because we didn't put in a performance which was in anyway close to good enough.

Tbf Chelsea have struggled to score goals all year. Before playing us Leeds had scored more premier league goals than them.

Be tight and keep a clean sheet and you have a very good chance of beating chelsea

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Oct 28, 2023 2:38 pm

Yes I think that is correct with Cullen - he is on 4.

Maybe want him suspended for the Cup game midweek, so worth a tenner on a booking.

Okay? That means we put in a performance like we did last week? We just roll over? That sort of vibe has been about since the very start this season.

The happy clappers seem to be content with us just getting blown away every week as though it isn't concerning.

Mental outlook to have.

I'm agreeing. Chelsea weren't good the other week. But of course we didn't do what you've written. I don't think we're capable of doing that.

The good thing about the plague a few years ago was footy stopped for a while so technically speaking we stopped losing for a while. I'd take that.

Awful run of injuries and illness.

so it's Bergs turn to sit on bench this week to give Brownhill a go again, sorry but you can't keep chopping and changing other than suspension and injuries you need to find a good balance.

Not a midfield enforcer, but he should tighten things up.

He’s got experience and isn’t afraid to get a tackle in. Positionally he should definitely help us out.
