Caicedo really needs to stop picking up cards. We really cannot afford him to be suspended for 2 PL games. He is on 8 and if he picks up 2 more yellow cards, he is suspended for 2 games. Really vital that in next 2 league games we don't give the ball away in silly areas so he doesn't have to commit fouls. His last yellow against Villa was annoying as it was for dissent. We will need him against Arsenal next month.

I see a 1-2 Southampton win unfortunately coming here.

Out bench after spending a lot of money is embarrassing really.

If we lose Maresca needs to be paraded around the pitch and supporters allowed to pelt him with rotten fruit before getting his p45 on the centre circle

Josh still in Maresca jail, sigh..

There was a real opportunity today to have given him the nod over Gusto. If he doesn’t get a look in for the conference league tie then that’s pretty much it for the season you’d think.

His team selections get more baffling

Nkunku in

No Josh

No George

Perfect game to give the young lads a run out

Holy sh*t, Bella-Kotchap is back

Some amusing "spin" from the club website :

Has he featured at all since the Bournemouth game? Seems like everyone gets a pass for their sh*t performances, except for Josh. He gets banished for one mistake.

Joe cole interviewing some bloke from cfcuk but not covering himself in glory, should have interviewed johnny Minerals

One thing nobody is discussing anywhere is why are we fine with our keepers going long almost every time? We completely threw away building from the back. Against Villa we lost the ball 90% of the time we went long.

Nope. 43 days out, fully fit.

Gusto unstoppable for some reason, and obviously it’ll be James coming on. Maddening.

In my parallel universe, we dominate the play from the off and cruise to a 3-0 lead at half time. More of the same and at 4-0 on 60 minutes Maresca brings on the youth players who have a field day running a sorry Saints side ragged. Full Time 5-0.😎

What a cr@p interview. How can he be saying that most of the fans are complaining about the team and the performances, whilst showing a group of fans marching outside with BlueCo out banners. It has been said universally throughout numerous media outlets that the teams performances are not the crux of the issue. You cannot complain about Dewsbury-Hall playing like a championship player.

Bloke is only interested in the price of his season ticket. He should feel lucky he can get one.

Its as if they are selectively finding people that purposefully give the totally incorrect impression as to what it is all about, just to discredit and undermine those wishing to speak out.

Didn’t we beat them last time and still looked sh*t?

He isn’t a DM to be fair, and literally playing as a 1 man midfield most games.

Why the f**k do we have to kick off at quarter past 8?? Too f**king late

I remember us gifting them chances, then they did the same to us.

Big fan of Josh but I agree with Maresca on this to not put pressure on the young players in a tough spell. Let the players who got us here get us out of it .

8.15pm is too late. Getting tired already

Anything other than a dominant win would be embarrassing

Have we shown anything lately that would suggest this is dominant or a win? I would take a horrible 1-0 win any day.
