But the reality is that he was dropped to avoid Field and him, picking up a yellow each and then both being out for Norwich. Possibly he would have been out more as he collected a red. We could not afford to lose our complete midfield like that with Colback out.
But I beleive the card count resets now so, while Field is out, Varane can come in for him and Morgan was okay.
Getting that draw away to Watford with so many players out and caution taken with Varane paid off for Marti.
Varane will be Colbacks long-term replacement as I am guessing that Colback, Andersen, and Fox will be let go at the end of the season. We just need replacements for the others now.
From what he says there I suspect he means he is missing one or two players in positions he wanted. That has got to be a forward for sure and possibly another player.
Its code for get me players in Jan as we shall need them and he's right.
Our squad is not large like the old days and he's blooding the kids so, you cannot say players do not get a go, because they do. He even gave Taylor Richards a go last season. You cannot say he does not give players as chance. Even EDB makes the bench.
If Smyth gets injured right now we have no one to play RW so, its back to wing backs and so on if that happens. Dembele isnt' a RW anyway he's an AMC really.
Yes, Willock is super talented at keeping the ball and driving upfield.
He showed he could beat players on either flank to cross the ball. He would go straight into our team as he can do everything Smyth can do but also cross and score.
The fact that he lost the ball and then we went up the other end and scored, is really great for us as that means the Cardiff fans will hate him now. And him cuddling Marti at the end, will also be noticed so, they will hate him even more.
He will become a boo boy and then possibly we can have him back on a cheap loan if they go down to L1.
Teams I see going down is Portsmouth for sure, I thought Derby were dreck but they have 20 pts on the board so, who knows and Cardiff were very poor, but once again that could have been a one off. I also thought Stoke were poor as well.
We need to sort out the front 3, and with this defence and goalkeeper, we should be okay. But we need to do that fast. One more win is what we need and then to get all the injured players back.
Then, in Jan window, a hold-up player like Frey who also scores goals as a backup for him and one more creative player to play behind Frey as Madsen is not it. These should be loans.
I mentioned on one of the other threads, that Celar would have a good game. I wanna see it against Watford.
But, while he scored a great first goal out of nothing (which I already identified he could do in previous threads), his link play was actually terrible. We really struggled to get out of our half as he could not hold it up. Playing one up front, that person needs to hold onto the ball so, we can get out of our half.
Five Guys makes money off the soft drinks. For what they charge, you could bring in 2 x 2-litre bottles (4 litres) and still be way cheaper.
Who is drinking 4 litres in one go? Not many. Soft drinks are where they rip you off. Nandos is super expensive now as well. Pizza Express has closed down a few sites, as no one can afford it.
Poundland, Iceland, Lidl and Aldi must be making a roaring trade.
And all these companies are saying they need to raise prices again due to national insurance hikes like they need more excuses to make obscene profits.
"This town, is coming like a ghost town all the clubs have been closed down"
Saito is a good loan. Ashby is not a great loan really.
Celar, Santos and Madsen are bad buys for the money we paid. But maybe they will improve as Frey did.
Loaning out Larkeche was stupid with no cover; thinking Fox could cover was stupid as he gets injured every season. That's why we bought Varane, as he's to replace Colback next season and because he also gets injured a lot. Fox and Colback will be let go at the end of the season as they cost too much and never 3/4 of a season.
More worryingly is that Paal and Dunne will be off soon, could even be in Jan when we try and get something for them. Unless they have signed 7 year contracts and we have not been told again!
Morrison getting injured was unlucky as of course we know JCS always gets injured. Chair being out twice is also unlucky. Not replacing Armstrong was stupid as well.
There has been quite a few mistakes this season. And some big chances taken which have been caught out. Marti just needs to hold it together and a couple of wins by Jan and then we can see how we fix those stupid mistakes ... hopefully.
If, we don't we are down as Marti cannot work miracles twice!
"The depiction of Roman emperors using a "thumbs down" gesture to condemn gladiators to death, as often seen in Hollywood films, is likely a historical misconception. The actual gestures used in ancient Rome remain a topic of scholarly debate, but here's what is generally understood:
Pollice Verso (Turned Thumb): Ancient sources, such as Roman texts and mosaics, refer to "pollice verso," meaning "with a turned thumb." However, it does not explicitly clarify the direction of the thumb (up, down, sideways) or its exact meaning.
Historical Interpretations: Some scholars suggest that a "thumbs down" (a gesture Hollywood popularized) may not have meant death. Instead, it could have indicated sparing the gladiator's life, as it resembled a sheathed sword. On the other hand, a gesture mimicking an extended thumb (perhaps upward or toward the chest) might have symbolized an unsheathed sword, calling for execution.
So, Thumbs Down means live, not die. From what we do know, anyway! But if you ask Foxshite News this is just the woke liberal mejia trying to use facts again :P
All these people who say, "I don't do politics", forget that politics will do you regardless. Sure, I get you want to reduce the noise to zero. That won't happen, though.
For example, when the government regulator comes into force for football, you know it will fall short, and then the politics will start, and so on.
I think it's fine to reduce the noise of politics, but remember that sticking your head in the ground is still just doing that while the world still crashes into you.
What I am hoping bluesky will do is allow me to separate out blatant political threads from other ones like football; it won't eliminate politics. Now, you may say it does this already, but I want that service sustained. As we have seen with Twitter, things change when the rich snaffle it up.
If the Board sack Marti they will have the fan rebellion on their hands.
If Norry is smart, he will not sack Marti as he has a scapegoat if it all continues badly, and if it turns around, he can claim he had the faith all along and so on.
If Marti keeps playing Celar, then he will get the sack.
It's time Lloyd was given a go, who I don't think is good enough but is still better than Celar.
Forget the pen miss, forget not even having a shot on goal, forget even not linking play. Did he even hold the ball up? You know trap it? Nope. He is useless.
I take it back Dykes is better than Celar as Dykes, even as a failure for Brum, has scored this season for QPR!
No wonder we are down the bottom. It's like playing with ten men every game. At least Madsen tried this game, still not getting up and down the pitch quickly enough.
Celar cannot be allowed to start; it's too draining for the team.
