Match Thread Brentford v Everton. Sun 28th November. 2pm

[Rock Hard Casey]

Been due one for years. We don't do easy.

Due a 2 early goals match, first 20 mins 2 up, then seal it with 2 goals early in the second half before playing "ole" footy and bringing on a few subs to join the fun !

He's starting blood rondon or tosun isn't he?!

If I was either Simms or Dobbin I'd be on me bike out of the club as fast as I could - Everton, where youth comes to die.

Yeah I tend to agree. Dobbin played on the wing/ wide forward for the 23s last game. I could see him starting whilst Richardson is out over waste of air Iwobi!

cannot see it - safety first FSW.

I see Tosun is pictured in training and not Rondon am I reading too much into this?

 

[gonetomorrow]

My money is on Tosun to lead the line. He'll be replaced by Rondon second half.

I agree, we are terrible at bringing youngsters through. I’d rather watch them play and give it a go than watch Rondon and Iwobi run around aimlessly offering nothing to the cause.

Do you not think we’ll score at least one.

Lawro the scruffy meff has gone for 2-1 Brentford.

That‘s about the only positive I can see.

Rondon is that slow he's 30 mins behind the rest of the squad coming out.

Due to a family commitment on Sunday, I'm not available to either watch or submit a Match Report for Sunday's game at Brentford.
If anybody would care to fill in for me, please let @GrandOldTeam know as soon as possible.
Thanks,

Normal service will resume for the Derby on Wednesday

We should adapt Roman Army battle tactics , like when they got in a close scrum type thing and used their shields over their heads like a tortoise, as protection against spears and halfies being lashed at them .We gather round the centre spot, Richy has the ball at his feet, all the other players except Pickford huddle around him and the ball and we shuffle towards their goal, Brentford players bouncing off us as they are mown down, then he lashes it in for 1-0. As soon as we get a free kick in the rest of the game repeat and shuffle up for 2-0. Not pretty but effective. All about keeping possession.

Allan out with muscle strain. Wonder if Onyago will get a start
