I'd have quite happily settled for a boring end of season, for once. Okay, own up...who went for a Chinese and got a fortune cookie with the message, "May you live in interesting times..."?

Actually what's happened is someone said "god I wish our season could be exciting this year" while holding the monkeys paw. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,063 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 is that a euphemism? Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,639 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Lots of changes. Stojanovic dropped is the strangest one, big opportunity for Pears to reclaim his spot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Pears Spence Dijksteel Fry Friend Johnson Howson Saville Tav Roberts Fletcher Interesting team wonder what the formation is and interesting to drop Britt 3 goals in last 4 is it? Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,940 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 What is that lineup? I actually like elements of it. But one of woodgate main criticisms was that he didnt know his best 11, kept changing etc - warnock's ripped it up again. Why is britt dropped after 3 goals in 4 games? Is dijksteel in midfield?

BoroJake 2,345 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Dijksteel in the same role moukoudi played the other week maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,940 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I just noticed stoj being dropped, he has been getting stronger each match imo - baffling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,639 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Shotton is out injured and won't play for us again for fear of making it worse. Makes Moukoudi's departure even worse. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Dropping Stoj surprises me. Dropping Shotton COMPLETELY surprises me. Never mind, he's injured and played his last game for us. Dropping Britt (3 in 4) surprises me. This suggests Dijksteel is either a CB or that CDM Moukoudi played (the latter seems more likely). I don't know what to feel about this in all honesty..

LBP 3,035 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Shotton played his last game for us, injured for the rest of the season and not renewing contract Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Interesting... I like that Tav and Roberts are in. Worrying to see Shotton out though as he has been our most solid defender. Not a clue what the formation is. Stoj injured surely...? Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 That line up is... Something. Not a single defender on the pitch who I could safely say is half decent and will do well. Reading are a good footballing side and will likely tear us to shreds Would like to know why Stojanovic is dropped. Thought he was doing okay for us. Pears doesn't fill me with confidence at all seems prone to a clanger or two. Link to post Share on other sites
