Big question here is will be score first and then loose?

With a Championship level manager at the helm. 

We really went from Conte - Tuchel era to bang average managers like Harry Potter and Maresca.    😄

And skipping transfer windows because we think we are already a finished product

[Laylabelle 9,412]

Sooo we'll score first then play like we are 5-0 up or just don't run much and then be surprised when they score..and score..and win and we lose and be ooo we tried!! And then slide down the table because for some reason we're playing on a Friday...

We won one league game in Jan and already won in feb soo.maybe that's it for this month

We are a finished product, finished at the top that is.

[Special Juan 27,564]

If we don't win this Maresca is going to be massively under the cosh. The fan reaction at full time was toxic on Saturday and match day at the Bridge is becoming worse and worse in terms of atmosphere and frustration.

The natives are restless

Next few fixtures:
Brighton (A),  Villa (A), then Southampton (H), Leicester (H)....probably 0 points away and then 4 points at home as we love to hand out gifts to teams below us in the table. 

[Special Juan 27,564]

We will get nothing Friday, nothing against Villa, point at home to Saints as they will put their supporters behind the ball and sneak a 1-0 against Leicester

Jackson is done for a month or two.

 

[OneMoSalah 8,813]

Well well well, Maresca and the club look like pillocks now.

Going into the season thinking Jackson, Guiu and Nkunku (not even a CF) was going to be enough from match day 1 was amateur. Look, 2 of them are out and not at the elite level and the other has rarely featured in more than one game every fortnight for whatever reason.

Bad result here and I can see the heat cranking up on Maresca. No CL and I don’t think he will be here for next season in all honesty, his half time team talks must be legendary given how shite we are in every second half as well as his constant baffling substitutions. Few teams within touching distance - a bad result is no good to us.

What difference would a proper CF, CB & GK would of made last summer eh?

The board deserve this

It was expected that we would eventually feel the burn from lack of depth and then the club allows Felix to leave on deadline day without a replacement. 

Guess it's going to Nkunku/Neto/Palmer rotating up front until Jackson is back.   Any half decent strikers in the academy? 

[Fulham Broadway 16,990]

Elephant in the room is that the board decided getting physio on the cheap was the way forward. Meanwhile they tout tickets before they've even gone on general sale.

[Fulham Broadway 16,990]

Fuck it put Palmer up top

[Special Juan 27,564]

Maresca said six to eight weeks for Jackson, Reece available, Guiu out until after internationals Lavia and Badshit are coming back slowly.

Confirmed that Jorgensen is now number 1 for the PL games

Jorgensen now pip the gk spot? About time, I knew Maresca was not dumb, he was just talking good so he does not bash his gk. 

I think that is good.
