How does Gray keep surviving?

Someone won’t make it to Christmas at this rate. What the hell is that team ffs

Out of interest what would you do different?

 

[Mozza1987]

He would be if fit enough. Far better than starting him and risking an injury. He’ll be ready for the next one I’m sure

Never got this to be honest. If he isn't fit enough then don't be on the bench.

 

[nsno-chris]

Dele on the beach eh

Thought he’d asked to be left out

 

[BlueStevie35]

Going off what FL was saying at his press conference, I think he’s worried about him not having had enough minutes in pre season and getting injured.

He’s playing it smart, last time we threw a new signing in we ended up with Gbamin’s career being screwed up

 

[MikeH72]

How is Gibbs-White on the bench when he hasn’t even trained with them once?

 

[davek]

You want ta team that sits back and park the bus at home against Forest?

OK Rafael...

No. You started talking in general about a 4 at the back. I corrected you and stated that's not the case. This is all besides the game today.

*sigh*

 

[JohnRoss23]

this lineup just proves how desperate we are to bring in better players

 

[Frenk]

Who does he start instead of in a 343 right now?

Could maybe say Gray, with Iwobi playing closer to goal but I just never thought it was likely tbh.

Push Iwobi out wide Gray on the bench and Onana in the middle with Tom. I hope I’m wrong but that team is just inviting pressure and Onana is the one guy who can help drive us forward.

It’s just a very strange situation that.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

People should try getting behind the lads

 

[Shibbywiggles]

He said Allan was fit!? I can understand not pushing Onana too hard too early but surely Allan over Davies!

Tom Davies. What an easy question to answer.
