I’m starting to think you don’t like Azza!!!!

Ha ha I just know what his attitude was like last season when he was being a mardy bum because he wasn't getting enough game time, despite not warranting any.

He asked to leave so we let him. He didn't want to be a bit part player which is fair enough.

I'd love nothing more than him to come back and be a world beater for us.

Spot on.

He had countless opportunities to impress for us and didn’t. 
 

The odd decent goal but a lot of average and below performances. And his set piece delivery, especially corners and wide free kicks was shocking. 
 

Aaand away…

In fairness the amount of rotation can't have helped Morley find any form last season. He was in for single games at a time and then 10 mins as a sub, so hard to get into a rhythm or make an impact when your game is passing.

Look what he's done at Wycombe with game time.

Anyway he needs to play today in a proper midfield 3 with Matete and Tomo. Fed up of seeing the opposition breeze past our 2 in midfield by simply outnumbering them.

3-2 Charles, Collins, McAtee.

Come On You Whites!!!

2-1 to them. But COYFWM

1-1 bore draw, Charles 90'

1-4, start of an unbeaten run that will see us comfortably in the play offs come the end of the season 

Three actual mids please and two forwards, not the other way around. Fancy us today, 2-1 Bolton. Collins and Mcatee.

I want Morley to score today then point to our badge.

And losing comfortably against Barnsley over two legs

If he insists on 5-2-3 today now that Morley’s back then he’s written his own resignation letter.  It didn’t work at the start of the season.  It doesn’t work now.  It never will work. 

3 in midfield we win,if we go 2 we lose

Suppose it depends if these are fannies like Reading who will let us play how we want or execute a game plan like Wigan, Barnsley and Mansfield.

High Press. Cut the full backs off. Cut the CDM off. Then hammer the channels on the attack.

Easiest team talk on the planet.

They've already beaten us this season so I'm guessing they'll go with the same game plan.

Question is will we try the same game plan again.

Proper FOMO now… FFS

'Channels', you said 'channels'.

Never say 'channels' again. You'll be 'playing without the ball' next & 'finding positives' in a defeat & quoting xG.

same post as above

Correct decision to start Morley. 🥳

I had a free Saturday and credit in the bank from the missus, so I booked a Holiday Inn and drove down on a whim. 

Whoops... COYW 😬

Agree about Morley starting but still lightweight in midfield by taking Matete out, only other gripe is No Southwood on the bench instead of Arfield Baxter is and always be a risk.

Good to see Forrester back

Ok apart from it should be Matete not Lolos, (and Southwood not Arfield on bench).  But then again Evatt is too stubborn to play 3 midfielders. 

Edited January 4, 20251 yr by Bertie

Some brave decisions there from Evatt dropping Matete, Jones, Cogley and Charles. And picking Morley, McAtee and Forrester.

Agree with Morley and Forrester

Hope it works out.
