In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these.
I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp.
We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend.
Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out.
Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB.

Fair. Hold my hands up as one who called him a 'french prick' a little while ago. In explanation I would say I was using the shorthand of French to single him out from all the other pricks out there.
But point accepted |
Fair play to you. đź‘Ť |  | | |

At least we're getting to see some good football finally. Admittedly all played by Coventry.
The worst part is I looked at this team beforehand and thought at last, something approaching our first team is on the pitch... |  | | |

There are currently 3 worse teams than us in the league.
How? |
They haven't played us yet? | | | |

Stat from the Beeb - And today was the first time that the Hoops had conceded five (or more) in the first half of a league game since a 6-1 loss at Leeds United in November 2004. (Opta)
I was there, at least for 5 minutes I basked in Ainsworth's goal and then the train journey back from Leeds when Chris Moyles was being ripped apart over the train tannoy!
I am not sure I can watch today's "highlights" any time | | | |

7! Gallows humour: Field at left full back at least better than where Critchley once put him: right wing! In no way competitive at all. | |

7-0 down, the perfect moment for the manager and his coaching staff to stare and point at the screen of their pitch side laptop again. |  |

Has there ever been a 10 in the Championship? We must be going for the record.  |  | | |

This the weird thing. The players signed have made us a better squad than last season, not sure anyone can argue Kone, Mbengue etc don't. But then to not play Mbengue, Kone is shocking.
When did we last conceded 7? Was it Sheffield Wednesday back in 1987? | |
