Signing a much needed striker on a short term loan and not playing him seems very odd

It goes onto an ever growing list of bizarre decisions shez is making....

Never heard of it.  Will keep it that way!

You should be ashamed of yourself. Its a classic.

Shouldn’t that be 2-2?

 

Love the description on twitter for the first goal:

‘Iacovitti's cross bounces off Vera into the path of Maouche who puts it into the net on the turn’

Was a lovely assist. Somehow cushioned his header perfectly despite knowing nothing about it.

Dan Gardner played 20 games last season. He scored 2 and assisted 6 times.

 

Maouche played 34, returning 4 and 3.

 

Baxter's numbers were 29, 4 and 2.

 

How the fk Maouche got a new contract - especially given what he was reportedly earning - on his performance at his job and the other two didn't, is a disgrace. It stinks.

 

For context, here are some other comparisons;

 

Nepo, 42, 6 and 10.

Branger, 25, 5 and 8.

Lang, 42, 13 and 2.

O'Grady, 38, 7 and 3.

 

Look at the numbers.... there's no way he should've been offered a new contract. There has to be ulterior motives.

Id expect my strikers and wingers to be contributing more goals and assists than my cm....

Not going to an away game (you would usually go to) surely has no effect on big Marco?

Couldn't think of anything worse...

Not always so, there are unpolished gems about. 

Much easier for agents to bring in journeyman though. 

 

There's a lot of competition for those unpolished gems though bp. At the minute it looks like we've got our pick of the French 3rd division...

I thought it was actually a decent performance against a very good side (probably the best in the league). Game plan was clear, keeping branger & dearnley wide to stop their wing backs and looking to counter with Lang running the wings. We also had some decent passages of play but just couldn't find enough clear chances. The way we played is always going to lead to tired players and I think the lack of quality on the bench led to PS not making subs until late on. Baxter was terrific in the first half and if we can see more of that then I wouldn't write us off completely. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards!

5 at the back?

I think had VAR been in use the ref (or linesman) wouldn't have given the penalty.

Maybe it’s more a case of the owner - or his brother - insisting that Branger plays, therefore in order to accommodate Nepo (who’s definitely worth his place in the team IMO) then he has to play Nepo at left-back and push Branger further forward.

Personally I’d much prefer it if we played a proper left-back and had Nepo on the left wing and Branger on the bench. Nepo is our best crosser of a ball and he’s wasted at full back.

We could play Lang at striker. Branger on the right, nepo in the left. That also means either cog or Vera have someone to support them...

I'd imagine his lawyers would be wanting a bit more proof than Lemmy's word that he is good for the money.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't ask him to pop to Dubai and bring back 300k tho...

Managerial experience is no guarantee of success either.....

Have the mods ever locked a match thread before the game?

Speaks a lot of sense Wild, my kind of guy.

Doesn't show a lot of it if he's playing our most immobile striker up top on his own with a wonky leg.....

Have any of you considered that duffus is nowhere near the team because he's garbage....
