In the Lillie Langtry mixing it with the locals

Good luck!

Tempted to watch but I hate C18FC so will probably swerve.

Rooting for Patterson today, hope he rubs salty tears into the lemon and gets motm

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Two keepers on the beach

Reading down the lineup, I got encouraged by the sensible choice of back 4 and then saw that he’s once again gone with Doucs and Harrison.

Doucs runs round like a madman and pops up with the odd goal so if I really squint I can kind of see the logic, but to still be selecting Harrison at this stage is a kind of blindness/stubbornness I really CBA dealing with for the next few years.

I dont think O'Brien will have a great day today. Not enough PL experience on that right side at CB, and he'll be dragged over bailing Patterson out all day.

Chelsea will target our right side all day long.

Vault me on that.

 

[blue to the bone]

Well Done Dave.

Patterson IN; Keane SUB, Broja OUT!!

Dave is Clever.

Broja couldn't play

….it really is time for Patterson to step-up, there can be no more excuses for him. It’s up to him.

Really interested to see if O’Brien has the makings of being an effective CB, it might take a bit to settle into a partnership with Branthwaite but I’d imagine they’ve been working at it all week.

Broja not involved, you’d imagine Chermiti will get some game time.

Broja can't play against his parent club. Patterson is not a right back he's a right wing back, I expect him to be exposed, but hopefully O'Brien can come across to help.

How is it sensible playing an inexperienced CB and a useless get like Patterson with loads of mistakes in him on the right side of defence?

Is there anyone you actually lke that you think will have a good game

It's more sensible not playing Keane. Once you've made that decision there's no perfect solution.

 

[NeilMorepies]

Broja couldn't play

To be fair he’s made quite a lucrative career from not being able to play football.

Because 1) we're safe. 2) Keane is not the answer. 3) we get a look at Obrien at cb- is he good enough. 2) we get a rare glimpse of patto- does he have a future here

Not even entertaining your obsessed brand of nonsense today, Devil.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Not really bothered today.
Season is done.
Just win at the old lady
