Of course. Let’s have Martins and Ferreira on the bench, play Morris and have Gaspar in midfield. Edit: just realised Asprilla not playing either so we’ve got 3 of our donkey CBs in as well. What a dreadful selection by Bilic for Blackpool at home
Yes probably was always going to with no Kamara and Sema I think ? Knew Martins and Ferreira would be subs .
Oh thought he was right back. Sorry. Give it time - we’ll be making a sub soon enough into the game !
So Bilic says he needs new players now but then leaves our 2 new signings on the bench. Does that make sense to anyone?
Wow that bench is young. Okoye - 23 Ferreira - 21 Asprilla - 19 Pollock - 21 Martins - 19 Grieves - 18 Adeyemo - 17
I am guessing Martins and Ferrerira are not quite match fit to start? We might probably see them second half for a run out, but Martins especially has been in training for a while, so there is really no excuse to not start him. Disapointing.
In fairness Martin’s international clearance came through last night so would have been risky doing a week with him in the team to then have to change it. Ferreira more of a right back and Ngakia did well last game. 3-5-2 just about works with what we have, but Sarr up front is always hit and miss
Excited to see Kone start in a league match, but in general that looks pretty rancid - a clear indictment of our usual sit on our hands, seat of our pants approach to vital transfer windows. As I've already said, the window's been open for weeks, and we essentially have to win these next two games, so, of course, we find ourselves in a position where we're putting out a comedy team like this. We have an opportunity to capitalise on this totally random smashing Rotherham have handed out to Blackburn. Let's hope it proves to be enough to do so, magically.
Every single time. Desperate for players, weak in areas and in need of players even without the injuries, do absolutely nothing for at least the first two weeks of the window.
Nice to see Hamza back. But our only threat there is Sarr. If Asprilla doesn't come on we're not going to create a lot, are we?
Is Morris starting out at RW a statement from Bilic about the position ? Asprilla and Martins to inspire a CONMEBOL comeback.
