It's pitiful to hear anyone desperately trying to paint having 4 very good forwards ( for this level )as a negative. Booooooo

Where in any statement have i stated that it is negative.............I said it was a problem but a GOOD problem to have

Yeah, but what if Dion bangs too hard on Evatt's door and injures himself?! What if Adeboyejo gets annoyed at McAtee because he's got a more flamboyant celebration?!? Has anybody even considered these things??!! 😱😭

You must be taller than Peter Crouch because your head always in the clouds

You have no idea if our forwards are happy or not..........Doubt any Forward has scored 3 then gets substituted and benched next game........It is a healthy competition for places at the moment, but it will not last if your scoring and being dropped.

I have some idea. I saw them all smiling and hugging each other a couple of days ago. Even when they were subbed off. They looked happy as pigs in shit. What have you seen that makes you think they're not happy?

Neither do you!

That's the point- you're making statements as if you do.

Your last sentence is a perfect example.

Until it is revealed otherwise, there is nothing to concern ourselves over.

Yes, one of them might become unhappy, equally they may accept the situation. 

They may not play every game, but may also stay fitter and be more productive as a consequence. 

May also not suffer a long term injury that robs them of game time anyway.

The situation is one for the manager and coaches to worry about and deal with.

Gonzo used the perfect descriptor- catastrophising.

It comes across as if you're putting up barriers to whatever the manager does in order to have a legitimate criticism later.

We're all entitled to our opinion of the manager: most of us were saying it was probably time to go not so long ago, and he's not out of the woods yet. However, we're now doing well and things are looking up.

Just enjoy the ride, and if it does work out as we want, then Evatt will have done well, the club will have been justified in keeping him, and us doubters can have a piece of humble pie. With a happy smile.

[desperado]

Putting a different slant on it..

The striker situation looks very positive and promising 😊

“Charles has six goals in all competitions and is now looking back to something like top form and fitness after the knee issues he suffered at the start of the year.

McAtee has also scored in his last two games, regaining some of his swagger after playing catch-up for the first few weeks having been left on the shelf at Luton Town over the summer.

Adeboyejo and Collins are also off the mark, both adding something different to an attack which looks as strong as anything Evatt has had in his four years in charge.”

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Way too positive!

You have my thoughts on this wrong............I think it is great we have 4 decent forwards, but they need that hunger to keep them going....That is what gets them to the top in the first place.

No doubt about it Charles wants the Golden boot and the other 3 want to start each game. 

Of  course they will be giving it the high 5s as they come off, but underneath they wont be happy if they are playing well and enjoying the game

But what have you seen that suggests they're not happy?

You are allowed to say "nothing".

It is a football forum to discuss points of view........Nobody is being personal to the management or players. Scenarios and views are put across and in the cold light of day mean nothing as Evatt will pick his team and you or me have 0% input

Expect these will fly out with quite a small "full allocation". Are Brum selling out their games?

[Zico]

is this the first time we've ever been offered safe standing?

Didn’t we have it at Derby, last season?

Definitely in the safe standing area but maybe we should have been sat down.
