Were you not saying this week that dropping him would be a mistake??

Er... no. Not really. I mean it's not a case of drop him for literally anyone. It needs to be someone decent. Baldock, maybe Joao.

Must have confused you with someone else.

Baldock and Meite have been my preferred first choice.

Think that just sealed Puscas's fate. Meite consistently the more dangerous and Puscas gets in his way of scoring when the Yak is better placed.

[URZZZZ]

Badly missing Swift and Ejaria. We need another body forward to compensate for this, so bring on Boye for a CB and go 4-2-3-1 please

[Sutekh]

No Ejaria or Swift and, surprise surprise, there’s no creativity. No Baldock is also a big problem for the team.

Anyone reckon Joao would actually make a difference ?

Dont think Bowen can keep him in the team now even if he wants to. Hes fluffed it.

[lightning strikes]

What's going on with olise? He looked absolute quality last when he was in the team, not getting a look in at the moment and would be perfect replacement for ovi or swift.

That's a great point. Olise, or even Barrett would really zip up this midfield.

Guess Bowen felt McCleary deserved it.

[Hound]

Agreed on Olise though think he got injured in the last U23s game

[Snowflake Royal]

Joao on for Morrison. Going for it.

McCleary has been as poor as Puscas.

[Snowflake Royal]

Boye on for Meite, assume knock based as Puscas has been poor and Meite the bright point in attack.

[Old Man Andrews]

Poor day at the office. Every time Puscas plays I get less and less convinced he wants to be here. If we can recoup our money in January and offload I'd take it.

[tidus_mi2]

16 shots, only 2 on target, that is terrible.

[Hound]

13 of those in the first half

By the lack of any JLow updates, assuming we’ve been crap this half

[NewCorkSeth]

Is anyone willing to admit that maybe Bowen isnt quite as good as they built him up to be initially?

Don't think anyone was that sure of him, we were just happy he wasnt a complete disaster. We got a new manager bounce from him but now the real work begins.

Yeah. Lots of poor decisions and errors. Yiadom and Richards in particular being a bit brainless.

Looked quite good in spells, but just not creating or taking good chances. Getting in each others way etc.

Oooo Puscas actually made the selfless decision but couldn't get it right for Joao.

Penalty to Reading

[tidus_mi2]

Ooh Penalty!

[Old Man Andrews]
