Well today Stephen you got it wrong.
Playing with no wingers again. Both Ayew and Celina like to cut inside.
No pace out wide. Too narrow.
We all know that Celina can't tackle and is best suited to the No 10 role.
We all know that Ayew's best position is 10 or possibly 9
Celina had a below par game.
Byers had a stinker and could /should have been hooked at half time.
Why was Fulton subbed? He was the only man in the mid field who was tackling.
We made an average Reading team look like promotion candidates in the second half.
Everyone could see a late goal coming.

Pretty accurate summary, felt that our Mr Cooper, for once, looked lost on the touchline. Everyone around me, including myself, were shouting at the players to get some decent tackles in, we stood off as they played around and through us. Some managers would visibly lose it from the side, and I know that's not Steve's way, but that's what was needed in that 2nd half. We missed a dog in midfield, especially when Fulton went off. Also, wtf was he doing taking Borja off and leaving Byers on?? . . . . . . Not great. Not great at all. [Post edited 28 Sep 2019 20:49]

Why bother having Wilmott if he's not going to be used? He's played defensive mid before. Cooper got the subs badly wrong. Weakened us. Tom Carroll on in a finely balanced game where we're 1 up. What's that all about!? |  |

Celina.
Ayew up top on Wednesday. No slight on Borja but too static away from home.
Grimes and Fulton in middle [Post edited 28 Sep 2019 21:37]

Is it time to give Surridge a start?
Let's just remember that this season will see lots of twists and turns for all sides in this competitive division. |  | | |

Rock on mate.
Apart from Fulton being on his ass and having to go off your reasoning and summary is spot on. [Post edited 28 Sep 2019 22:02]

I would have put Ayew in there today 100%
Celina flatters to deceive at times and can't tackle a soft pillow. | | | |

Borja was excellent today.
Why was he taken off?
There has to be a revolution in the midfield.
At 75 minutes and being outplayed either change to keep the 1 - 0 or change the system, don't replace a wide player for another wide plaeyr and your hardest working forward for another forward! |  |

We haven’t got anyone to play in midfield though. I’ve got to be honest I’m not a massive fan of Byers but he has time on his side to improve, we need to stick with Grimes and Fulton with Celina in front imo. Still not very strong. | | | |

...and you've answered the question I asked myself in another thread. Wilmot would be a good player to experiment with in the midfield. It can't hurt. Even if it's just as a sub for 25 minutes. |  |

Rarely get a chance to go down these days. Really enjoyed the game, was very surprised how good we looked on the whole, however thought Fulton was crap to be honest, looked unfit, little presence and for me was a major reason for their resurgence in the 2nd half. |  |

Not many teams would drop the championships top scorer.
Better off giving him some service. |  | | |

Don't get the calls to drop Borja away from home. He had one of his best games for us yesterday and did his bit with a sharp goal. Sam on the other hand missed a late half-chance. [Post edited 29 Sep 2019 7:40]

Fulton was absolutely knackered & needed to come off, his fitness levels need to be better tbh.
Celina & Byers were both poor unfortunately. |  | | |

Byers was blowing out of his arse after 55 minutes and contributed nothing after that.
He contributed very little before that as well. |  |

Yeah, it didn’t work and there’s an element of square pegs in round holes. But we haven’t got any wingers with pace anyway. Garrick isn’t ready, Routs and Dyer last beat a man in the last millennium, and the others have shown they’re not as good as those.
We miss Dan, but he’s a rare breed.
Fulton and Byers just as culpable yesterday imo. They didn’t link particularly well with those around them. |  | | |

Fulton was down on his haunches just before he came off, he was shot.
Cooper could have subbed Byers & Celina off & nobody could argue against it. Too many underperformed yesterday. | | | |

He's got some good attributes to his game but even when he's at his best I'm not sure that Byers is anything more than a bench player at the moment for a team with designs on promotion. He's 23 too so there's not an awful lot of time for improvement.
Certainly we need to rejig the midfield and if Wilmot has experience in DM which will push Grimes further forward then that has to be worth a try because sticking with the status quo isn't really an option. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

This is it, what was happening yesterday wasn't working m most of the stadium could see that, Cooper couldn't especially that we were being overrun in the middle. When he made changes in there he tried like for like, which was pointless. No better opportunity to stick Wilmott in there yesterday just to try and see that game out. | |
