It will have been 16 days since we saw what football at the top end of things could look like by Arsenal, who made us look second class citizens in footballing terms.

This game is unusual this season, in so far as the bookies have us down as favourites to win.  Monday nigth, under the lights....but how empty will the bowl be.  With a boycott planned, kids for a quid, general sale tickets up for cheap, and Nuno's first home game, the atmosphere and attendance is anyone's guess.

Injuries wise, our Big Fucking German is big fucking injured again...reducing the options up front to the two Callum's.  Nuno chose to save ~86k in wages last time out, preferring the pace and mobility of Marshall over Wilson, and it will be interesting to see if he does the same thing here, or goes for a 'makeshift' centreforward.  And of course Soucek is back.

Other than that, there are no fresh concerns reported going into the weekend.

Predicted Starting Lineup:

Areola

Wan Bissaka   Mavropanos    Kilman    Diouf

Magassa

Fernandes             Soucek       Paqueta       Summerville

Bowen (c)

Subs: Hermansen, KWP, Igor, Potts, Guilherme, Marshall, Rodriguez, Wilson, Scarles

Predicted Score: 1-0 (Soucek)

I hope that the late bobby Moore is not seeing these bunch of gutless Queers led by Bowen and the over paid Portuguese piece of shit who nominated the shitty line up.

[Sir Alf]

We have no midfield !!!

[Helmut Shown]

Another passing masterclass from Paqueta. 100% pass rate to the opposition

[ragingbull]

Fireworks outside my window have been more entertaining than West Ham.

[Sir Alf]

Walking thru our non existent midfield. This is as bad as than anyyhing Potter served up 

[Sir Alf]

We should be 3 or 4 down

Horrendous. No midgield control, second to everything.  All sorts of selection questions but Irvine and Soucek in centre mid? That aint stopping anything orher than headers

Seems Nuno might need his coaches or is a bit of a fraud based on this

They are knocking on the door of a second j

[Nutsin]

I normally look for a positive but can’t find one.

[goose]

I don’t think the players have any faith in what we’re doing.

they appear to have just given up, just strolling to close people down.

[pdcwhu]

Harry Maguire scored,it's a shit league 

[collyrob]

Hard to believe just how shit we are 

[Keep dreaming]

I've seen many shit midfielders, but Soucek and Irving are probably the worst pair I've seen. They offer absolutely nothing. But not only do they offer nothing, they make us look like a woman's team

[Maverick180180]

Andy Irving is an absolute fucking donkey 

[ragingbull]

Fuck me Todibo what an absolute pile of cսnt.

[Massive Attack]

If I was either of the Callum boys on the Bench, I'd walk out myself in protest to boycott Nunos mismanagement of this Striker situation all of his own doing. Fucking bonkers shooting of both feet what he's done trying to be too clever.

[Pub Bigot]

Reckon we would be better off having Mav and Soucek at centre back than Kilman and Todibo.

 

 

I have a real dislike of the French cսnt Todibo, Kilman to. The Kebabos is alright if limited. 

[Far Cough UKunt]

It comes to something when Mavropanos is our best CB

[zico]

Reckon we would be better off having Mav and Soucek at centre back than Kilman and Todibo.

[Pub Bigot]

I've already said have patience 

Hard to have any in recent times, mate. And that first half was indicative of the frustration. 

[Sydney_Iron]

Looking at the stats, Brentford pretty much dominated the first half  Says it all really if we cant get past this lot at home then surely its the championship next season

[Massive Attack]

Those are some bizarre subs. I hoped for three changes but not those ones. 

 

 

Totally threw Walker-Peters and young Scarles under the bus by replacing them with Full Backs in their rightful positions on either flank. Fucking fuming with that outrageous experiment that's going to dent their confidence. 

[twoleftfeet]

Another centre back on the pitch, just what we needed.

Soucek should be off and Wilson on.

clueless Portuguese cսnt. 

[pdcwhu]

I've already said have patience 

[Vexed]

Oh jesus what the fuck are those subs? Five at the back THAT'LL GET US BACK IN IT. Yeah one nil down let's have an extra defender and still no strikers. 

BRILLIANT NUNO
