No but we have a lot of players are just aren't used to this volume of games at this intentisity. A few of players came off against Oxford with cramp ect. Vipotnik couldn't move in the last 5 min against Oxford I don't see how he can even play 60 tomorrow.

This is a legacy of a very poor pre-season. It also shows there is much more to coaching than tactics and being present on the training field.

I trust that Matos is sorting out the fitness and conditioning of the players, which whilst tough in the season needs addressing more than anything else. Marelo Bielsa is a stickler for it and won't take a job unless he has a full pre-season to get them right.

Bit harsh

on Baker-Richardson

Blackburn in the shitter at the moment
Two down against a Wrexham team who haven’t won away in the last nine games

We have Blackburn at home soon. Lets hope they keep their manager until then. I just checked. Their form hasnt been that bad. They beat Millwall recently.

Blackburn have been shocking and they are the home side

Lots to unpack with that team.

No Vip or Galbraith?

 

[Treehuggerjack]

Oh god!

 

[Mamaswan]

Didn't see that one coming.

It’s making my head hurt. Have we got illness in the camp? I’ve been off socials and news for a few days, so have no idea about any background leading into this one.

 

[Pegojack]

Bizarre selection with no striker, and Key on from the start. Very bold, hope it doesn't bite us on the arse.

 

[jackharris]

We will bring on the big guns in the second half when WBA are tiring. Vipotnik and Galbraith will come on and we will score goals.

 

[bakajack]

Galbraith on the bench
No striker? Who is playing as a false nine?
