Saturday is must win

Bright on the wing has been absolute dynamite recently, terrifying defenders - particularly at Bristol and last night. So would be reluctant to drop him, but can definitely see the case for Pugh and Chair starting now. If Wallace is fit he should be starting too.

I thought Brighr and Chair had a really good link up. Would like to see Eze (my MOTM yesterday) BOS and Chair up top. I think Pugh could play alongside a holding midfielder just behind.

Suicide playing out with a high with the players we have, Get a win and do the basics well and things will take shape. Basic defensive mistakes are undoing all the good attacking work.

Saturday is NOT a must win game FFS. BOS terrifies defenders and does enough to keep their defenders in their own half. Let's not write him off just yet. Too many knee jerk reactions.

Esoxlucius for a start look at me reasons for saying a must win, confidence will fade away and we get stuck in a rut plus the goodwill from the fans will fade as well. Last year the atmosphere at HQ was poor and our away following wasn't great either.

No one writing BOS off and has pace and skill but end product is lacking, we need players who look after the ball as no one can deny we have a very soft underbelly!

So no knee jerk reactions we are finding out best 11 but there are a few that have not turned up for a couple of games in a row now and the 2 players for every position only works if you use them. Take Ball, looked good all pre season, missed one game due to suspension and GC played well, no arguments about being on the bench. Since then GC poor at Brizzle and so poor last night pulled at HT. MW stated all summer no one is guaranteed a shirt we have cover all over and will be performance based.

Most of that post is erroneous. ALL the players are turning up at each and every game. Errors and mistakes will happen as a group of new players learn the system and get to know each other. AFAIK Cameron went off injured after picking up what appeared to be a strain injury after 20 mins. Before that he was having an excellent game and that Cryuff turn and raking cross field pass to BOS? was sublime. What was it about a new manager and new team full of kids, freebies and loanees made you think that we would be the next Man City? Try looking at the positives; we are four points better off than we were at this stage last year with a settled, and more expensive team.

You must have missed Cameron's Cryuff turn and pinged cross field pass to BOS/Kane? in the first ten minutes then. Couple with that was some good break up play and tidy passing. It all went down hill for him when he tweaked his hammy chasing back for the first goal. Also, I didn't say a team full of kids, read what I said again.

None of the above makes Saturday's game a 'must win'. I think, at this stage in the season, it's a 'would be bloody good to win' game - obviously - but talk about 'must win' games at this point, whatever the reasoning, is absurd, IMHO.

"Who have you got on Saturday?"
"Wigan at home"
"You must win that surely?"

This time we have be smarter than giving up on our team so soon. Chanching another manager is that a solution? IMO, we have to trust Warburton even if it means a seaason in div. 1.  Having said this; last night`s match actually made me cry when Barbet gave away a penalty.

No, this idea you have to go backwards to go forwards is a myth. I think Warburton is a step forward and won't take us down but if you do get relegated you lose money, fans and you don't attract decent players. It's a long way back that's why panic sets in at clubs threatened with relegation - Burnley perhaps the only exception. The last thing our club needs is third tier football.

It is more the fact that this appointment has to be a success, we simply cannot fire him..

Not sure how we got on to Warbs out but that is ludicrous.

From what I've seen, we play a decent style and have some fairly decent players BUT we are defensively naive and will be proper cannon fodder for the better teams in this division if we don't get some steel into the side.

I don't buy that as a squad we are not good enough to compete, championship spending is down this year. We haven't spent a lot but been very smart with our recruitment. Teams have gone up on similar budgets in the past by being well managed.

I backed us at the bookies and on loft for words to be top 6. I see nothing in this league we should be scared of and believe we are capable of challenging. My point being all along yes good football, soft under belly and not clinical, continue to drop points and how long before the football fades too?? We have all been Rangers fans long enough to have seen that happen.

It is also a danger when have multiple loan signings in the squad, last season when we lost our form, the football was terrible and Hemed and Wells looked like they would rather be somewhere else.
