Would prefer to see us go with 2 up front for this game today

If we perform anywhere close to the Saturday performance, we should safely navigate the Pillars of Hercules.

 

Noted that Progres were horsed 5-0 by Willem II, even though those watching said that the former were rotten.

When we had Morelos and Roofe last weekend, we essentially had 2 strikers. Thing is, themtwo and Kent interchange quite a lot, and they actually can do that quite good. Once you have people taking up positions and perform there, all is fine. IMHO, we tested far too long with players not able to do that and thus failed quite often. Now we have Roofe, Morelos and Itten, who can take up striking positions alone and alongside one another, plus Kent, Hagi, Aribo and even Barker (when fit) or Arfield. They just need to be consistent.

They have a good record at home against bigger teams. We need to fly out of the traps and make sure we get an early goal, no tippy tappy stuff, just get the ball in to dangerous areas as early in the game as possible.

Any of our squad should be too good for our opponents, and any who prove not to be should be moved on forthwith.

 

I would like to see some squad players get some game time, Stewart & Itten especially, and allow us to rest our key players for what is a huge test at Easter Road on Sunday. I want to see young Nathan play, Bassey on the other side, Edmundson at CB, and our midfield reinforced with those who havent had much of a chance yet. 

 

If you are not going to risk playing these guys in this game, taking into account our upcoming schedule, then they clearly are not trusted and shouldn't be retained taking up a wage.

We should win this if not just leave the lot of them on the rock with the baboons
