Rob Green calling it how I pointed out the issues with Hermansen. Fancy starting a Keeper from a shocking Leicester side going down that only had 1 Pre-Season game!

[Keep dreaming]

Mads better get his boots on this time

[Massive Attack]

Haha He looks like a bloke from the Office that won a competition to manage a Football Club for the day.

So out of his depth, it's painful. 

"Balance this, balance that, don't rush out the traps too eager to beat Chelsea, we have to always chase games, calm down everyone."

Potter could have bought himself some support by starting Potts, but had chosen Soucek and a public execution instead.

[fraser]

Soucek the gormless carthorse starts ffs. What is the fucking point?

Away win

Soucek and JWP, had a few beers in Centreforce pub, hopefully it dulls the pain.. 

[gpike]

FFS Soucek as the only change. Think Potter wants out

[Nick QQQ2]

Totally agree about the formation l. Apparently if you don’t include those relegated we have lowest goals, shots, shots on target than anyone else in the league 
 

[Takashi Miike]

Hurrah, he's dropped the dead donkey!



Still would have put Potts in for some much needed youthful energy and Areola reinstated but at least there has been 1 change at the very least.

I wouldn't mind seeing one less CB, and Diouf wide left ahead of Scarles. That way you get Jarrod back in his best position, but clearly silly bollocks has to make things hard for us

[THUNDERCLINT]

FFS, surely this COCK PISS car crash can see his stupid system is half the problem.

It's fucking boring to watch and creates nothing.

The arrogance of the cսnt is astonishing.

[Nick QQQ2]

Yeah because Soucek will keep the ball ticking over.   Another pathetic line up by the bottle
job manager

[goose]

Guido for Soucek………. But otherwise unchanged 

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

With the likelihood of a loss, the most important thing tonight will be the attitude and effort from the players. I think most fans will excuse a loss if we give it a go and compete. If it’s another gutless lousy display it’s going to get ugly for Potter.

Soucek in, Guido out.

[Maverick180180]

I think the only way Ward-Prowse is getting dropped is if Potter discovers him in bed with another bloke 

[Massive Attack]

Everyone's favourite ITK is suggesting we're unchanged for this evening. 

If true, wow. cսnt really wants the sack then.

Having an extra whisky before the game, just to numb the pain…of course…purely medicinal…

Make sure you give those wankers (not just Sullivan/Brady) both barrels from the stands.

[southbankbornnbred]

Not a huge amount left to say about our side. With a couple of notable exceptions - Jarrod, AWB etc - everybody needs to improve. Including the manager.

Fullkrug needs to show he’s a premier league striker. He got dominated by a lump of sweaty meat last week. Needs to do much better at holding onto the ball and bringing others into play on the few occasions we get forward.

Not to dig him out alone: there’s so much improvement needed.

[El Scorchio]

I will be utterly baffled if it's Guido and JWP as a combo again. Hope for Potts to come in but likely Soucek?
Really don;t understand Potts playing so much preseason only to drop, unless the line up was a wake up call to the board albeit a fucking risky one.

[boleyn8420]

Surely the cսnt can't start the same staring line up as against the mackems, can he? If he does surely the old tin-tack can't be far away

[F 129 Row66]

I feel we are going to be badly turned over by the chaps for hire tonight. I also felt this pessimistic when we went to Shite Hart Lane with a depleted tam and no forward and we turned them over. 0 - 3. Hope springs eternal COYI

[Massive Attack]

And Paquetà needs to turn up. Never know, we might scrape a lucky 1-0.

All eyes are on Paqueta and Fullkrug to perform going forward tonight. Time to share the workload other than keep relying on the tireless goal machine Bowen to score or produce them..
