It'll be the second little alarm bell ringing in the back of my head, this season.

The first one began a distance chime when yesterday's team was announced.

March had a back injury, failed a late fitness test otherwise he would have played, apparently.

Because my first thought when the team was announced yesterday was 'wheel loose'.
I wouldn't have thought that had at least 2 of the 3 in question been named instead of CoG, Shamir or JFC (not that JFC did that much wrong). There is no hindsight in that comment.

My concern would be if we ended up playing a considerably stronger side v Cheltenham than Wednesday :lol:

I didn't know March was injured, that's the first I've heard of that.

You must be ****ing joking. His passing was one of the lowlights in a mediocre performance by a woefully under-strength team against p1ss-poor opposition.

Naylor tweeted pre match he was injured, and then tweeted post match quoting Sami saying he would have played. My guess for LuaLua.
That leaves Buckley and CMS. The formation calls for wing backs instead of wingers unless they can play centrally, hence Buckley not fitting in yesterday, and Fenelon deserved a chance. Personall I would have bought CMS on earlier when we were a man down but I'm no great fan of his anyway.

In a team of lowlight passing, esp in their half, JFC was no better or worse than anybody else.

He picked out Bruno with a couple of sublime touches.

CoG seems an ideal player for us away from home, scrapping for a point or holding onto all 3.
Yesterday's formation was crying out for a bit of space creating speed, which just wasn't there.

KLL had a good game without really doing anything, because the rest of the team just wasn't as expansive.

Agreed JFC passing was poor again he always seems to give the ball away too much even when not under any great pressure

Which is where Solly would have come in. Ince to Kaz was a good partnership but as Kaz couldn't hurt them on the wing it became very stagnant. Still, early days. New manager, definitely new formation so we need to give him time.

And failed to make a decent pass on about 20 occasions...

TBH I'm amazed he wasn't subbed sooner, especially with the threat of a 2nd yellow (which he should have got) hanging over him.

What do you mean by failed? Do you mean his pass was intercepted/ not completed?

I would be staggered if CMS and Buckley were still with us at the end of the window, I just can't see us leaving that amount of wages sat on the bench for the season, I was very suprised both were not starting yesterday.

Quite. The anti JFC stuff is worrying - genuine nutty scapegoating. He may not quite be good enough to be a regular starter but he has something that needs nurturing

JFC's passing from yesterday. (Red - failed pass, yellow - key pass)
