OMT Badgers vs Eagles

Don't know what is wrong with me, but i am tempted to go on Thurs. As a non-paying member, it is an opportunity to watch Spurs, but i really don't want to give my money to this club/drug.

Hopefully Tudor starts the players who have shown a bit of fight. Only optimism i have is that statistically with recent form, we are due a win more than Palace

I am actually toying with going only because the last time I saw us in a home game against Palace was the night the new stadium opened and we won, so I reckon I could be a good omen.

(Alternatively, I may be having some sort of breakdown. 😀)

I hate to say it but unless Tudor plays him inside and in behind a striker I don't think we can afford to have him on the pitch right now (and I really like him too!!!)

That's just it @thfcsteff, I cannot fathom how they can't see that's where he is most effective. We need players who can do something a bit different like taking someone on, he does that as does Tel. We must take 3 pts on Thursday as we ain't getting any at Anfield in the following game.

Not great...but could be worse. Now we have no Odobert we have such little pace to get behind teams. Muani gives us a chance to do that at least...

Slim pickings i know, but desperate times and all that. Certainly not a lack of effort from what i saw yesterday

Weird one, Muani.
Looks to have some decent attributes, pace, good shot, not bad control and yet contributes little. If he gets in the right mindset he could bang in a couple on Thursday. (Prays)

Tenous but I'll take it. If we lump on glasner for the permanent gig, might be enough to lift to him odds on. Then he'll have a vested interest in seeing us stay up. Maybe he plays the Crystals in defence and we scrape a hard earned draw.
 
I'm a big fan of rewarding the players who came off the bench and made us look different - Tel, Danso, Sarr, Souza, Richi. I'm also a fan of reminding players that below par performances won't go unnoticed. The problem is that the latter includes most of the team that started against Fulham.

So I guess it's about a happy medium, or maybe not. We have a few fixtures coming up so rotation is key anyway.

Personally, I would encourage Tudor to stick to what he believes in. Stick to a system that he is used to coaching on a day in, day out basis. Think about what this team looks like from Mar-May and start to form it now. If that is 3 at the back then so be it. If that needs ball playing RCB and LCB then form that now even if it means playing Gray there until Romero is back.

His midfield selection will be key to this game.

Rationally speaking re: Tudor's style, I think you're probably right.

And yes! Agree re: subs!

Yet another glorious decision by Crooked Joe's kids / Venkatesham / Lange 😵‍💫

Flogging last season's top scores in January might've proved an acceptable gamble if they parlayed that fee to sign a ball playing midfielder; like say Wharton, whom Palace signed from Blackburn the January after we activated Phillips' release clause.

Doing so for yet another box-to-box player, who's not even shown himself to be massively superior to Sarr and Bergvall, might prove to be the straw which breaks the camel's back and gets us relegated though.

Can somebody give me a non-badger related reason to be hopeful please? Would be much appreciated.

While the Fulham result and performance for sure was disappointing I do think part of that was a result of going behind early. Drop in confidence etc.

Despite a very much depleted squad we did actually create some opportunities against Fulham.

Think a lot will hinge on the first goal (again) for this one, if we can find a way to get the first goal I think we can see an improvement.
 
If we went the same formation as Fulham and Spence is available I’d be tempted to stick him right wing and put Souza left back.

Very much agreed. Really anything that gets some more ball playing centrally (CB and deep midfield). Gray at CB being one option. I would also think Gallagher as one of the deep midfielders, he's not great on the ball, but imo better than Sarr, Palhinha and most fluctuations/variations of Bissouma.

Johnson is the last player I'd want in a relegation battle.
