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! 💩

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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..
