    I do love that he's chosen that as his first photo though. Good lad

    So that's what I'm bloody competing with? No wonder 
    It's all about the ink these days. Get yourself a sleeve and a couple of neck tattoos during lockdown and you'll be crushing it.

    The praise he gave Southall in January has made me question his opinion now.

    I must admit I'm so looking forward to Marcus's first start for us. He has so much ability which, on top of what we've already got, could make us absolutely unstoppable in this league.

    Right now I cannot see that there is a regular place for Maddison. I wonder if Bowyer now regrets having signed him ?

    Him and Williams will do the Aneke/Bogle switcheroo act most games when fit I think

    True, it's a long and arduous season and if players can be kept fit and happy, there will certainly be a need for a big and versatile squad full of good players.

    Hate to say it, but sounds like he's done his achilles.

    As for the Insta post...not real is it?
    It's real, and I assume his Tinder profile is too (saw it on Facebook...):


    The big question is: Did you swipe right or Left?!

    When Maddison is fit, he won't always start - but will always be in the 18, rotated as necessary to keep him fresh.
    That's Bowyer's mode of operation, as we all know.

    Bowyer regret signing him?

    Not a chance, at least football wise. He's a proven player at this level, a proper tin-opener against tight defences, pin point crossing ability, great on the counter, assists and goals.

    Bowyer will be frustrated though, that he's not been able to use him due to this injury niggle.
    Though that's the risk signing players who hadn't played since March and no pre-season.

    I do wonder if Doughty's injury has paradoxically made it harder for Maddison to force his way into the team.

    Once Bogle is properly match fit I wouldn't be surprised to see Aneke and Williams do a 60/30 switcharoo Saturday-Tuesday.

    Aneke is a better 10 than he is 9.

    And said all through last season.  Is he a very good league 1 9?  Yes.  Is he a championship 9? Probably not.

    Can't see it. Aneke going to be predominatly a striker this season I think, we're already slightly short up front. We have plenty of options, particularly when Maddison and then Doughty are back, but I think Leuth is right. I soon expect us to go with the diamond, Maddison/Williams and then Bogle/Aneke.

    To be honest I see Maddison rotating more with a player like Smyth - from what I see of him he seems to be very direct and proactive like Smyth is.

    It really does feel like we have a fantastic team.

    We already have, that’s how we started against Pompey. Agree on the last bit, plus Smyth or Washington as the quick striker who can drift out wide.

    There will be other times when Bowyer will want a more solid midfield, so he could go with two from Maddison, Williams, Smyth and Washington out wide in a 4-3-3.

    I think he'll use Maddison the same way he used Doughty. As a lone wide player in a lopsided diamond

    That was also where he played when he came on against Sunderland

    Can't see him spending a lot of time as a 10 personally

    I think a diamond provides a more solid midfield than 433 or at least similar, both formations contain 3 CMs. I get what you are saying that, we could play Smyth in a 433 but actually he plays more of a RM than RW.

    The diamond allows flexibility and interchange but it’s not more solid than 433.

    All other things being equal I still think Bowyer sees Aneke as a 10.  If he gets Bogle fit enough to play 90 every game, we will find out, until that happens we won't. 

    Bowyer isn't going to say "he isn't a 9 but I have got to play him there".  Not with this owner, he doesn't have to play those games any more.

    LB said a few games ago that he told Chuks he's not a 10 anymore, he's a 9.

    Why not? Both formations essentially have 3 CMs and 3 more attacking players. The diamond generally has someone sitting in front of the back 4 too.

    I’m not saying he doesn’t but we have a lack of strikers and Maddison in AM. I’d be very very surprised if Aneke and Williams take in turns to play behind Bogle and Washington. It means we don’t really have a striker on the bench and Maddison is just not going to play? No chance. 

    We might see something change in January but until then I think its obvious Aneke is going to be used as a striker

    I remember praising both MacAnthony and Southall for being so open with fans after watching that video (not a post that aged well!). Even though I didn't say it at the time I did have a nagging doubt as con men types invariably fake sincerity and MacAnthony looking straight into the camera seemed overly concerned about projecting himself that way.

    You can see why a lot of football people don’t like him. 

    His goals and assists make up for the poor diet and late nights playing Fifa. Hopefully he can get out on the pitch and start doing what he does, if not I can see Bowyer and the players growing tired of him sitting in 2nd gear while they’re going flat out

    I did warn you that he was unfit😉

    I wasn't that positive when he signed, but I was very impressed with his cameo against Sunderland. 

    The way he tracked back and made a crucial last minute header belied those who said he didn't work hard  

    I hope he is fit enough to play against Plymouth next Saturday.
