  • Christ this is gonna be one extreme Pre-Season Friendly.
    Ha ha already edited mate you snooze you lose 😁.
  • Falling like flies today... first the Trialist, now Twitter
    So T Witter is the trialist...
  • Hmm, not a big fan of 343 personally, feels a bit like the worst of both worlds. You get all the stodge of a 3 at the back but still manage to only have one striker up top. Teams have to be very, very good to play 343. The last time I saw it properly succeed was Conte's Chelsea, and they had Eden bloody Hazard as one of the wingers and Kante and Matic to tidy up in the middle. Didn't work for him at Spurs because despite having decent players they didn't have the sparkling brilliance of Hazard, the guile of Fabregas or the dominance of Kante so they just became very, very boring and brittle. The midfield has to do so much work in a 343 making sure the team are in control and able to keep their wingers and wingbacks high without getting caught out in transition. We have Fraser and Dobson. Maybe we'll bring in great wingbacks, a monster winger and improve the midfield a little but it worries me.
    Equally, I suppose it could be a 352 with Campbell and Egbo as WBs, Chin in midfield and DJ up front with Leaburn. We will see.

    Takeover must be off.

    It’s never over until the guitar maestro plays his final riff 😉.

    Yeah, I'm not convinced 3-4-3 gets the best out of any of our midfielders with maybe the exception of McGrandles. Dobbo is best when he can break up play and start attacks. Fraser does better with a free role finding pockets of space. Henry needs to float a little and isn't strong enough to be fully box to box or the holding player.

    It was pretty clear that when he came in, Holden favored a back three. The problem is we have a midfield built to play as a three, and out biggest attacking strength is our wingers. 
  • Was hoping not to see Lavelle!

    Only just arrived at a coastal oyster place (Leucate) for a late lunch. Didn’t realise the time and will have to scoff down the oysters, gambas and slurp back several glasses of vino in order to watch the match. I must be fucking mental and need of serious therapy! 🥸
    Thought that back in the early seventies about you . Therapy is afew wines and plenty of Gamba’s and Oysters. Sod the football
