I like it. Defenders in their correct positions, attackers in their correct positions. Quite a revolutionary idea compared to what we've seen on the pitch this season.

Quite liked Mudryk in the 10 the other day, played well first half then died off second half. Would like to see him there for first 55 mins then bring Gallagher on against tired legs.

Cucu on for Chilwell in second half too.

Chilwell out. 

Gallagher virus. 

Colwill out. 

So that's Gallagher, Chilwell and Colwill added to the injury/absentee list 

 

We never find out what is actually wrong with anyone. They are just suddenly out for weeks or months. WTF is going on behind the scenes? Is it the training method causing this? Is it the recovery? Are players just sitting out for weeks with any random tweak that they could play through if they wanted to?

Yes, Mudryk looked decent at 10 in his early days too. Absolutely worth a shot.

Seems Poch's hand might be forced on that one anyway.

That's what frustrates me about the Injured a few weeks down the line, no idea how close they're expected to be coming back. With the new injuries Poch has said Colwill's is a problem with his toes, Chilwell's is his knee and he's going to see a specialist and said 'he hopes it's not a big issue but we'll see' and Gallagher is ill.

Would we only have Gilchrist on the bench as CB cover then? Dangerous imo

I'm wagering Poch sh*tting himself yet again and will set us up defensively. 

Ok....you'll definitely think this aged and ancient shedboy is senile.....but....for some reason I feel we will win this game....one thing for sure is we might win....lose....or draw this match

ughh i hate monday games

However bad our injuries are, they will receive less attention from the media than our opponent's injury list. As happened with the Brentford game, the Liverpool final, and the Newcastle away game. Our injuries are not an issue for us because we spent loads of money last summer.

Bring back Dr Needles!

It won't be easy finding 11 fit players for this game, but I'd be disappointed if we start with 5 defenders.  Newcastle hasn't be good this season, and read somewhere they actually conceded the most goals in the past few months. Just like last week against Bredntford, if we respect them too much, we will ended up aiming for a draw.

Poch will want to play Silva. Good to see carney back in team training.

He will probably suffer a setback just when he would have been ready to join the match squad.

 

 

I've grown so bitter.

9 academy players used for training in the last couple of days. How many will be on bench or even used? Washington might think this is his lucky day! Most probably more keepers on the bench!

So we’ve bought a winger that looks better as a 10, a striker that looks better as a winger, a left back that looks better at right back, and a goalkeeper that looks better on the bench.  Think others need to follow Poch out the door at the end of the season.

And we overpaid for all of them bar Wacko. 

Back from a short break in the Cayman Islands, thanks to the Missus surprise birthday present and thanks to all who sent their Birthday wishes.  Unfortunately missed the Brentford game but watched the entire game on the CFC website; how we didn't win that game after all the control we had is astonishing, again poor defensive when the pressure is on and once again Werner- Jackson had one of his usual performances of missing a couple of good chances and once again tripping over his two left feet which was laughable for a supposed EPL player.   Jackson will be the death of Potch; he may have scored 10 but should have put the other 20 chances away and we should be fighting for a 4th or 5th place at least.

Looking forward to Monday night though with Casualty FC v the Barcodes.  If the injury list is as long as stated I don't see too much hope for anything other than sharing the spoils unless Newcastle put in a poor performance which is doubtful.  I think we will be well and truly established in mid-table this year with Wolves continuing their revival and catching anyone above us it seems is a stretch too far.  We just can't go on a run of league wins and I doubt this game will be the catalyst to get things going until seasons end.
