[derfblade.3]

The mans lost it

 

[Yarrayering]

Dear god

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Erm… ok?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Not good. Robbo and Ndiaye on bench

 

[FinBlade]

Norwood & Fleck

 

[robbiez666]

On the plus side, there's no way Norwich could have scouted this!

I suspect Doyle, Ndiaye and McBurnie all rested after long games in midweek.

I'm hoping Fleck isn't playing on the right of midfield again.

I wouldn't have picked this team if I had 1,000 goes at it. Definition of insanity.

After the inevitable defeat Hecky needs grilling on this starting line up

 

[metalblade]

Jesus Christ what's Hecky smoking. Fuckin hell fire did he put names in the hat?

 

[HarryHaslam]

On the plus side, there's no way Norwich could have scouted this!

I suspect Doyle, Ndiaye and McBurnie all rested after long games in midweek.

I'm hoping Fleck isn't playing on the right of midfield again.

What about the other players who had long games?

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

has Hecky not been watching basham and Osborn?

 

[bakeblade]

On the plus side, there's no way Norwich could have scouted this!

I'm hoping Fleck isn't playing on the right of midfield again.

So why did he keep them on for the full 90. This one is a must not lose game

He took Doyle off midweek arguably one of our best two players on the night that midfield is shocking

Surely as a football manager you rest against the bottom of the league and play them against what was before the collapse the second best? Madness

 

[Stretch]

Not good seeing Ndaye and Doyle benched, or Osborn in the 11 again. However, we haven't won in 5 games, so something needs to change. We have barely any options at the back to try, with JLT still working his way back in, so it's up top where we need to use our depth and try something new.

It could be a long afternoon though....

Sweet mother of God.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

On paper it looks a weaker side than we put out against bottom of the table Coventry.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

You all say players have been playing 90 minutes but McBurnie, Doyle and N'Diaye all could have come off around 70th min mark for players like Khadra, Brewster, Robinson, Fleck etc..

 

[robbiez666]

in the 79th minute

 

[FinBlade]

At least we are going to see SUBS as many of these guys can't do full 90min

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Wow, I’m open to being proved wrong but that looks a shocking selection.

 

[Espania blade]

Jesus Christ he's either a genius or desperate for his P45

This! that team doesn't fill me with optimism!

 

[Whitby-Blade]

Not the selection for me but we’ve been here before with Heckys unusual selections and been proved wrong.

 

[raimond]

Norwood & Fleck

 

[Chilttheblade]

Hecky going full Yorkshireman

 

[GKhantRebel]

That lineup... to be polite, is odd!

 

[Camden Blade]

Billy Bash Fleck all great servants but should be squad players now, not starters.

 

[Nedski]

60% of the outfield would have been starting 4/5 years ago

We used to take the piss out of the pigs for doing something similar

 

[JayGreen17]

This isn’t it Hecky, ffs. slide down the league continues

 

[SLB]

Billy Bash Fleck all great servants but should be squad players now, not starters.

Someone else's squad.

 

[Blade58]

Stunned both Ndiaye and Doyle dropped
