Oh god... Yes it's about rotation and all. Proberly worst selection under Matos. Maybe that says more about the Squad. Key should not be starting, no Galbraith and Inoussa up front?

 

[Pegojack]

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.

Hope we're not three down by then

 

[cmajack]

Didn't see that one coming.

Oh shit, so whose up top ?

 

[jackharris]

There was always going to be squad rotation today, but is this genius or flawed genius. Only time will tell.

 

[jackharris]

Oh shit, so who’s up top ?

Key

 

[Swans Jack]

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

Inoussa. Matos has experimented with him briefly. I don't want to be negative, but Wales should be starting of VP is not. That tells us he has 0 faith in him. I understand Galbraith being tired and VP, but Key, damn...

I'd take a point tomorrow. I know their record isn't great away from home but this time of year players are absolutely shattered and performances significantly drop as a result.

Think that lineup supports this the players looked absolutely finished agaisnt Oxford.

Take a point and move on.

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

It's not a bold lineup out of choice its based purely on the fact that players couldn't physicaly move after the game on Monday. We had to rotate.

 

[Mamaswan]

Its giving me the jitters. Hopefully he knows what hes doing. Bizarre

 

[Swans Jack]

Ronald

Hat-Trick incoming...

Hat-Trick incoming...

Which West Brom player will score it?

Inoussa. Matos has experimented with him briefly. I don't want to be negative, but Wales should be starting of VP is not. That tells us he has 0 faith in him. I understand Galbraith being tired and VP, but Key, damn...

This is where the poor and thin squad really hurts. No second RB. A reserve winger he won’t use /is probably going back. A backup striker we won’t use. We’ve got to get better at recruitment. To hear the owner say they want a quiet Jan shows to me they have no idea how many upgrades we need. Maybe Matos is making a point?
