Must win won’t win

were shite simple as that

1-2

[SheepRanger]

Hard to judge without knowing if we have any players returning from injury. If Chair & Frey are out then a draw might be the best we can hope for.

Fox Paal and Walsh fit again

chair Frey and Clarke salter out til December

Dembele out til February

I reckon the "first teamers" have had plenty of opportunity and they're not delivering. For this next phase of games I'd love to see a lot more of the developmental lads on the pitch - can't be any worse results-wise can it? Bennie, Morgan, EDB, Lloyd, Kohli.... be great to see them all on the pitch together for 40ish mins. Give us some flipping energy and exuberance!

I was fan of Marti last season. Looked excellent choice, great improvements.

This season we've gone backwards. Lose to Stoke, doubt he'll be manager at 6pm.

Hope Fox don’t start last time he played after injury he had shocker looked totally unfit to play and cost us the game.

Hard to disagree. Personally I'd love the club to sack Andy Belk for an absolute sh11t show of how to run and recruitment dept. How this guy is still employed is a mystery. MC will be the fall guy. He clearly doesn't even rate these new players. I'd say Varane is prob the only one he was kinda in the know about. The rest he had no input at all.

Not a chance he knew anything about saito or Santos. Dembele was a gamble and now hes crocked. How anyone thought madsen and celar could handle the Championship is laughable!!

Would love to have a different opinion but the rose tinted glasses are a bit misty at the moment. Just need to see the tiniest bit of hope. Fingers crossed it could be Saturday

I thought he managed Madsen previously but maybe I'm confused...
Anyway, it doesn't matter. All EFL teams experience a constant churn of players, it's the way it is. Every team in this division has a radically different team to this time last year.
The manager has to work with what he's got, play the hand he's dealt. A good manager will find a way to get a tune out of whatever players he has at his disposal.
Instead of contorting to make excuses for Marti, I choose to keep it simple and look at the evidence I'm seeing week-after-week on the pitch. He's badly floundering and showing zero signs of having a solution.

If we play that lot we will lose by at least 5 goals , that is part of our trouble , a few injuries to starters and we are pony.
