McBurnie and Mousset has to be worth a try but I'm absolutely certain we'll never see it.

😂 😂 😂 Ben and Luke - The Left Side Lepers I think we ought to have struck a better balance between getting the regulars up to speed and using fresh legs to give us a boost in recent games. Freeman and Osborn are the obvious two who can feel hard done by, and as a result I think they'll be...

I'd just be happy to finish above Burnley now to be honest...

Capable backup. Free. British. Sign him.

The game is one big mess now. Hopefully it's just a transitional period to something better, not worse. This period should have driven home how important fans are to football and that should be in sharp focus moving forward.

If you don't give (decent) squad players a chance to play at least when the most obvious opportunities arrive, then you can give yourself unnecessary hard work in replacing them. RB Leipzig seem to have had this in mind recently with 2 or 3 of their squad players, and it's working. A bit of...

I get your point with this but our players train with each other every day and they should all know each other and the system well. I think at least 4 subs shouldn't be a problem, especially when the subs are up to standard, and in some cases previous starters.

FFS. Any experimental aspect is obviously secondary. I thought it was worth a go as our best chance of getting back in the game. Agree. If there were any genuine WUMs on here people wouldn't be able to cope.

Freeman and Mousset probably, when Sharp came on. We were never battering them. Maybe it looked like that, in comparison to our other recent performances. There was nothing to lose, and let's not pretend it was any usual FA Cup quarter final that we were desperate to win. Might as well have...

Oooooh Bitchman is on fire...!

Nah, I fancy far more bitching. I want to learn from the best of the best. Come on, let's go til 4am.... you know you want to.

Welcome back Funny Little Sean. Shall we do some bitching long into the night?

Banned for saying nasty things about the club's manager? That would be a forum first wouldn't it? Anyway, I'm confident I can stick around a while longer if I can overcome this little hurdle and never, ever say 'black'.

So effectively what you're saying is, he's perfect for us?

Agree. Don't see how we could convince Freeman and Osborn to stay. They can keep picking up their wage and go and play for someone else. Mousset..... just don't see how he stays. He's continually overlooked. Must be a reason. It seems he's a player you might have to make allowances for as a...

Further establishing this place as somewhere where a negative word may not be uttered... Already acknowledged that. I'd say we should have used the last window to get 2 (maybe 3) subs on instead of 1. Probably Freeman and Mousset.

Literally exactly what I was trying to say. Word for word.

Btw, what I was getting at in the O/P (obviously enough?) is Wilder's opposition to the 5 subs allowance and a possible subsequent reluctance to make use of it. 4 games so far, 3 subs 3 times, 4 subs once. All games where we could have done with using them.

No doubt about it. But as you say, very frustrating since the return.

It's a real shame because in normal circumstances I'm sure we'd have beaten Arsenal and been looking at a trip to Wembley. But................ expensive.

He's an instinctive (and intelligent) 2 or 3 touch player. In all the time he's been here I can hardly recall him dribbling. Can't see him ever playing RCM. I'd like someone like Fleck at RCM.

Not athletic enough and never runs with the ball.

Yep. The more of the ball he sees, the quicker he will be to adjust. Being in our team has made it a hard start for him. Having good possession in a couple of games soon will help him. And with Lundstram's injury he might now be looking at a prolonged run in the team. If he started to look...

Fucking hell, some information.... Bit ominous for Norwood though.

Robinson's long throws are paving the way nicely......

Even when he uses the subs fully, it's increasingly been too late recently (pre and post lockdown). There seems to be a growing focus on keeping things tight as long as possible. The earn the shirt/keep the shirt is fine but no one should be above being dropped/rotated when playing poorly, not...

Can't say I'm gutted. Extra game - unneeded fixture congestion. Empty stadium - shit event. Very likely defeat - all strong opponents. Even if we got to the final - another likely defeat.

Some good signs at last. Quite a relief. Comfortable with the ball and used his frame to his advantage, for the first time since signing.

You instigated this with that fucking ridiculous reply. I kept it private, you made it public. 'Own' that. All that talk of trenches and you go off like this on an internet football forum. Honestly, it's hilarious. ❄

But I showed "no remorse" 😂 😂 😂
