Does anyone know in a game you needed to win Forrs isn't played on the right hand side? he is the one who every time he plays seems to look like he's going to score and our most prolific player on the right hand side. He also gets back and provides cover to defence. I think its clear he's not fancied by Carrick I don't have an issue with Whittaker but given our lack of creativity and scoring in recent away games (aside from Blackburn) id have played him. 

Also its noted that Mcgree seems to be back just before the playoffs, seems to come off injuries when its very good time either for internationals or big games coming up people be watch. Albeit the injury list is consistently annoying under Carrick in general something wrong as its every season. 

For me if Coventry win monday night id send Ịheanachọ and Giles back we need to concentrate on the future of the football club as playoffs will be gone anyway.

  • Bristol City sold their top striker (to us). Millwall sold their two star forwards, Flemming and Esse and replaced them with a loan of our third choice striker. Coventry lost their star #10 on a free.

  • Looking forward to this one  Will feel like a preseason game 2 teams with nothing to play for, can hopefully just enjoy a few goals either way Will keep my eye on Mihailo Ivanovic and the 2

We're probably not making the play-offs and McGree has missed 3 of the last 5 international breaks with injury, including the last 2.

The two he did make, over 6 months ago, he was playing regularly for us and playing well.

Give him a break, ffs.

He's clearly just got injury issues, I honestly cannot understand why people are obsessed with trying to pretend that his life revolves around faking injuries until he wants to play 2 games for Australia.

It doesn't make any sense.

Sounds like he believes that he should be more robust in his challenges rather than giving the impression that he is more intent on avoiding pain... just expressed in a way that is no longer deemed appropriate    

I think he's saying that he's soft as shi'ite.

Poor or not it’s still pretty obvious if we hadn’t thrown away/gifted teams points we’d be pretty solidly in the play offs right? 

I know what you're saying but isn't that a bit like saying that if we'd won all our games then we'd be top 🤷‍♂️

I mean that he is soft centered like a lot of the others, lacking in fight at times just waving his arms around at other players  as though he isnt at fault at all. He in defence of him isnt a proper centre forward although having to play as one and and all these things caused my description of him being a total pansy.

Exactly what I meant, along with a few others. Even our players who are meant to play in positions where toughness is required don't actually have it.

Exactly what I tried to say. The same can be said for a few of them in fairness.

Travers is a great shot stopper but I think he is one of the biggest reasons we are struggling. It is no coincidence our bad form started when Dieng and Brynn got injured, they allowed us to play out from the back. We’ve almost had to completely scrap that way of playing since Glover and Travers have been in the team. I would be very surprised if we actually wanted to sign him in the summer. I know this will probably be a very unpopular opinion as he is a great goalkeeper when it comes to the bread and butter but he isn’t a modern day keeper.

I think the defence as a whole with it absolutely collapsing we playing a lb and cm as 2 cbs is the reason we changed the way we play out from the back, albeit I know we have RVB back now and fry on the bench. If we are being honest with ourselves, we needed to replace Matt Clarke as we have 3 cbs with our injuries the way we wrack them up we were always in danger of this happening. Travers for me helps with the silly mistakes we use to make playing out from the back you wont catch him letting what happened to us at Preston happen lightly, but do get what you mean in turn that hinder us playing the Carrick way of ultimate football of always playing out from the back no matter the cost.

I think the question got to be asked are we keeping Carrick for next season as to whether we want Travers, if we are not keeping Carrick he might make ideal keeper for someone more balanced in approach to playing out from the back. In ideal scenario Brynn and Travers for me as top 2 keepers, get rid of Deing for whatever we can get as if you look at his stats in terms of shot stopping hes ranked 23rd in terms of shot stopping percentages out of first choice keepers in championship this season and potentially keep Glover as no3.
