It gets worse every week. We do actually have recognised strikers at the club, albeit young or off to Chelsea, but we are refusing to play them. Nothing I've seen from Leko has shown me that he is a striker.
Jacko is either very smart or very stupid.
I’m not certain what the hell Leko is to be honest.
Afternoon Oggy and the matchday crew. Crossbars appears full to the brim with people enjoying themselves. Suspect I’m the only one whose seen the team. Gonna rename my miserable position Golfie Corner :-)
I reckon 9 of the 10 outfield players have played midfield / wing back this season
And only one in the side, with no strikers. Anyone else losing faith ? Some sympathy with strikers out - I assume Kanu is also injured .
If you look at what's available on the bench, I think it makes a lot more sense.
Clare has been (for the most part) very good on the right of a back three. I'd rather have him there than any of the options on the bench.
On the other side, it's a battle between Purrington and Famewo. Given how Famewo has been playing lately, I'm not surprised we've gone with the "steady eddy" in Benaldo Purringtinho.
I want what you are drinking if you think he’s steady .
Most exciting thing is the prospect of Campbell coming on. From seeing a bit of the Brighton youth cup game he could potentially offer more than Burstow or Kanu - looked very dangerous running at Brighton, a similar type of player to Lookman.

I think I might switch the coverage on and not bother with the match thread today with all the moaning, blimey.
Six wins in eight home games under Jacko. I think he might have some idea what he's doing.
It is what it is Callum, he’s working with what he has available. I think people are just grouchy about the overall situation, not the specifics of today’s line up
One recognised centre half playing, three on the bench. Absolute madness. Have sympathy with the striking situation but why play with only one centre half? Is JJ trying to lose his job?
It's an absolute nonsense. We need some height in the team if nothing else. JJ has lost the plot. If he needs 1 of the centre backs to be ball-playing, then let's give Elerewe some match time.

Maybe he should apply himself and know what he’s doing when goes away then. What ever way we try and polish this up, that side doesn’t fill anyone with confidence I’d say, looking a bit Bowyeresque random. Not all JJs fault but don’t exaggerate the issue with poor positional selections. We may get a point if we keep a clean sheet.🤷🏻♂️

Pathetic.
Clare and Lavelle are both 6 ft 2, but as Clare is seen as a midfielder I guess we deduct 4 inches?

Ok I'll rephrase, we need more than just Innis to win defensive corners. Watch what happens when we concede a corner today. Mass panic, same as last week I assume.

Maybe Craig mac.Has been practising not getting stuck on his line.
Christ alive, that line-up is rancid. There's no right answers here. Either it's the usual formation with Purrington at CB, DJ on the left and Lee up front, it's 4-4-2 with Clare as CB in a four and Albie or Gilbey wide mid. Could be the diamond with Dobson deep and DJ at the tip of the diamond for some reason, or it could be our old friend 4-3-3 with Lee, DJ and Leko taking up three of the spots (doesn't matter which, bad each way). Whichever it is, bloody hell, I'm going to bed
Visiting teams: the spare key is hidden under the third flower pot on the right, help yourself to tea, coffee, and whatever is in the fridge and cupboards.

3 centre halves with one ACTUAL centre half on pitch and 3 on the bench
No recognised striker
Prepare to get thumped

Total waste of time, especially as today it looks like we are playing Purrington at left wingback.
CM
Clare Inniss Purrington
Matthews Dobson Jaiyesimi
Gilbey Morgan
Leko Lee
More likely he's in the central three if we line up anything like we did against Wigan.
Only using Curbs nickname for him.
Pathetic.
What is the reason today? Losing belief in Jacko.

A suicide note rather than a credible team sheet.
At least we have three centre backs on the bench in case we need to grab a goal at the death.
Why not have a few youngsters included ?
Disturbing how we seem to have lost the plot.
