I think some of the players were intimidated rather than thinking about the beach.
Marti admitted he picked Ballerina Smyth over Yang for this reason. If that was the logic, then you would have to ask why not pick Tofu Tofu Colbackie too then, because he revels in that type of game - probably the best we have at it. |

That would be good news but as things stand, we would need to find a lot of new players and bed them in, which we know takes time and effort as well as considerable funds.
Given that we know we have needed a LB and RB all season and still don’t have anyone other than Ashby as cover, I don’t see the task as straightforward.
And as much as I love Cookie, one more season might be a stretch and we will probably need to Robin Hood his wages. |

Maybe we used paAI to create the video and the voice disconnect ?
My takeaway was that we don’t like it up is and can’t really cope when that happens.

Wilkins makes a perfectly valid point:
Dunne, Cook, Fox and Paal are all currently out of contract
Edwards and Ashby are on loan.
That leaves us with Morrison and JCS as starters this season, plus Larchece when he returns but even then, I doubt he will be starting left back.
JCS will cover 10-20 games if the right leaves fall on the tracks and Morrison isn’t exactly injury free.
So you need a new back line of starters/back ups. Not another bunch of the pre-injured, midget tens or utilities.
Never like the utilities in monopoly, certainly don’t think we need them in football these days.

The latest batch of recruitment really confused me.
I would have expected to fill specific roles with the relevant skills, knowing that our back line needs a complete renewal.
We’ve known about this for a long time now. |

Don’t panic Cptn Mainwaring, we’ve got 5 number 10s and some injured Chelsea guy that can play anywhere !
Don’t know what the problem is. |

Even Nardi lost it at one point and our clearances throughout were just schoolboy standing foot levels of terrible.
Do we send everyone to a forget the basics training centre or off to see Eileen Drury with Uncle Glenn ?
We know the team can play but days like this and Swansea really make you wonder WTF is going on. |

I empathise/agree with you but we also lost to the same shite team we played today at home this season….
It was a rank performance |

After today, I’d be considering starting him in some games.
No point sending him on loan again, he’s only got a year to go.
Play him or sell him but we should at least respect the guy’s efforts and goals this year. |

When Morgan, Varane and Field play as a three, we play well - against most teams.
They compliment each nicely and it provides a great base to play around.
When they played together, we performed well. We won more regularly and played more consistently.
Somehow, somebody has decided to meddle with that formula and now we don’t know what we are going to get from week or week.
Fees like we’ve gone back to a system to accommodate our diddy men at the expense of losing the midfield. Fine for Derby at home - not so good for several other teams and away from home. |

Exactly my point about when we play the teams below us….we lower our standards and let them dictate the way they want to play.
We know this in advance and we still let them play that way. We headed the ball back to them ALL day long. Clearances were shocking and we had no midfield. Again.
We also had 8 days to rest and prepare for this one.
We had a strong bench. No need for long distance travel. |

Does anyone know what Marti’s crossed hammer signal means when he makes Subs ?
Is it for Dunne to push on or a different change ? Seen it a few times now. |
