No Doku no Grealish after midweek performances FFS pep

 

[mosssideblue]

ffs Pep
ffs Lewis

ffs clarion

 

[CC1]

He's just trying to juggle the squad with so many injuries whilst still trying to put out a team to win each game

Yes. You’re right. It’s just so sickening to have so many injuries

 

[blueparrot]

He’s obviously not fit enough for 3 full games in a week. Pep plays the long game. Why can’t people see this?

Exactly, was just wondering, if the OP knew better ,seeing as he believes the sensible reason to be bullshit.

 

[Ajm1985]

Defence is essentially whoever is fit, although I would prefer Nunes at RB rather than LW - unless it's Savio left, Bernardo right. As well as Doku/Grealish playing really well vs Forest, I thought it was Bernardo's best game this season. Gundo, Bernardo, Lewis midfield is just meh

 

[Didsbury Dave]

You lot are mainly fucking idiots who don’t know anything about football conditioning, injuries and fitness.

 

[Mike S]

People! jack and doku are both just recovering from injury. You just can’t force them to start after coming back for long layoff

Please stop talking sense. It has no place on this forum.....

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Bullshit Grealish not starting this game!

Do you think he is fit enough? He looks a bit out of shape to me and was blowing at times quite a bit midweek.

I can only imagine that’s the reason and Doku probably being eased back in after a lay off.

Side looks weak though to be honest. Walker and Lewis in the back four is concerning.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Not the best line up we could’ve mustered is it. Disappointed that Grealish isn’t starting.

 

[Blue and true]

I've got to trust our manager but dropping Grealish after his last performance is at once baffling and scandalous. Not gonna do his confidence any good. And Doku?

I'll reserve judgement till after the game.
