The other thing to be considered is he's not our only winger that's worth 13 million. How annoyed would we have been if Knockaert had been sold for only 13 million? What's March worth in the current market?

Being 2-1 down wasn't in the gameplan, once our defence was compromised twice and we had to chase the game, our mindset be it players or directive from the manager, wasn't able to deal with where we were. We need to be prepared to be in such situations as it will happen a lot this year. Bournemouth, even by admission of their own fans were there for the taking and we failed to identify it. lets hope these are early lessons.
I agree.
I was surprised when Murray joined Hemed. We're looking to put their back four under some pressure. We don't do that by playing two centre forwards whose game is not about pace. At this level, you simply have to show some pace. It's why Rondon was so shocking against us for West Brom.
And all the while I was watching Shane Long yesterday, I was thinking of the difference a Baldock type player would make for us.

Fair enogh and I agree. Sadly that argument doesn't seem to apply to Hemed so far.

My thought was retain the 2 DM's who could play to Gross who would then play in the 3 quick strikers

I would have taken off AK, who was doing nothing, moved March to the right and seeing how easily he was beating Smith at right back told Izquuerdo to go wide left and to push up on him and then the midfield to hit balls over the top towards the corner for him and Smith to chase.
I don't think we were, I think we were a whisker from taking the lead earlier, which is different.

I was really hoping to see 'The Greyhound' come on with Jose for the last half hour to inject a bit of pace and get them on the back foot while we keep it tight at the back.

Hopefully he will play the first 45 mins on Tuesday and if ok replace LR if Bruno is still out.

Why cant AK be dropped this season he has been a shadow of himself from last season where as March has risen to the challenge?

Because he's still our best player and capable of producing something out of nothing which we desperately need with our lack of strikeforce.
He didn't have his best game against Bournemouth but still had a couple of moments and he always puts a shift in regardless. He was also excellent against West Brom and decent against Watford.
Really? I thought he'd been ok.
I'm sure Chris will pick and drop whom he likes, when he likes.

Opinions and mine is that he hasnt been, and who is to say Izquierdo will not offer more. It is all down to CH who sees them in training that we on here are not privy to so we must accept his view but that doesnt make AK undroppable.

We need to utilise the squad more so that they last the whole season.
You can tinker by being more attacking at home.
Silly is made of glass so needs to be managed.
His defensive abilities have really come to the for so would play him in away games.
I would start Jose at home to Newcastle..March on bench.

The seasons only a few games old. Not sure you can boldly question his being undroppable based on such a small sample of games. Particularly when he hasnt started all of them.
Just checked BBC reports that show 3 starts and one man of the match performance. I dont think anybody in the squad is undroppable though and I'm sure that is very much the case when the starting line ups are selected

My point is that at this stage of the season and seeking to establish ourselves everybody bar possibly Dunk come into the area of possibly being dropped if CH thinks it will improve us and if he thinks that we have better options I am not suggesting that he should be dropped or rested just making the point that contrary to what has been said he is not undroppable.

He looks unfit and a bit out of shape, but I could be wrong.
I think in another week or two we'll see a bit more of him, or rather, a bit less of him if the training has it's benefits.
NB Defo replied to the wrong post. Please add necessary context.

How many times has BG seen him I wonder
Who said he was undroppable?
