Guess you missed the winky face dickhead.

HR has spoken.

I honestly don’t believe that Pep “wants” to keep playing Gundo but he really has no choice. In the absence of Rodri and Kovacic there’s not a lot of options for DM in the squad. Similarly, if he had a fully fit squad available to him I doubt Pep would be playing Lewis so much.

Traffic cone?

Oh sorry, didn't realise being deluded was part of the requirement.

In that case 15-0 City.

Who asked you for your requirement? lol

 

[bluemoon32]

1-3 City

Traffic cone?

I didn’t know we’d signed him. Must have missed that,

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

1-3 City

I’ve gone for that scoreline.

 

[bluemoon32]

Come on City, let's kickstart our season

He does have a choice, there are other players who can play, allowing then to rest, but he doesn't want to relinquish control through possession and believes playing them is the best way to achieve that, rather than adapting. Gundo hasn't been an effective DM at all since his return and he's being run into the ground. I'd much rather have Lewis after RB, JSP in at LCB and Walker benched as whatever benefit Walker used to give is non-existent & is outweighed by his lackadaisical approach to defending.

Like I said, not surprised with the line up and hope we play like we did vs Forest, but there have been opportunities to play other players.

Bad news... the traffic cone got run over in the car park this afternoon

 

[moggymoz]

Wouldn't have gone that strong - we're almost certainly going into the play-off round as it stands.
Might have been better resting some or giving less minutes. But I'm not in charge*

*thank fuck
