DJ will never ever ever play Koumas and McPhail as a CM pairing in a 4-4-2 and rightly so.

Id predict he would play McPhail and Drinky in CM with Koumas wide as he did last time he was here.

But replace Burke and Whitts who both played well today? Bit of a selection dilemma for DJ

Exactly my thoughts, Koumas will surely start ??

He could change formation but that seems unlikely.
I think he is a few games away from being fit enough to start so anything could happen inbetween, injuries, suspensions, loss of form.

but I think he would drop Burke rather than Witts

Could be even more of a dilemma if Olofinjana joins us as well

Or DJ has finally worked out that McPhail is the reason we keep failing? The last 2 seasons he has returned form injury only to f**k up our promotion, with the last straw being his pathetic performance at Wembley and the giving away of the free-kick that Charlie Adams scored from.

Now his fairy gogfather Ridsdale has moved on DJ will finally ditch him, move Whittingham to the centre and bring Koumas in on the left.

Strongly disagree. Our season turned around last year when he came back. Just have to wait until september when everyone is in full swing to see who is the better two out of Koumas, Rae (count hiim out), McPhail and Drinkwater

You what? When Whittingham went into centre midfield and Rae went off we had about 10 chances as opposed to the 2 before that including a delightful ball from Whitts to Chopra to set up the goal. Whitts was pulling the strings.

Drinkwater will end on the bench.
If we get some decent signings Stevie mac could be on the way out

When rae went off? great loss that was? in your own words we played better.


lol the goal? 1 goal what was we missing then sherlock? apart from a playmaker and the other 89 minutes, which il say was whitts second half? (deep far too deep, great move putting the leagues top scorer to play in front of back four :shock: u forget we had a man over or that slipped yourb mind, should have been a walk in the park :ayatollah:
