[Albion] Andrews starting a fight with keeping coach?

[Barham's tash]

Look I can add something to the dressing room 'issue'....a certain oft injured player in conversation last week confirmed he was fit and raring to go, when asked why he wasn't selected, replied that he didn't speak Spanish.

Last time I checked Greer, Upson, JFC, Ward, Andrews, Stephens, CMS, TK, Ince, Lingard or Kaz habla Espanol but whatever. A player cast out from the team just because the manager doesn't rate them will always say whatever they can to deflect away from the truth.

I like Hoskins and thought he would have more class than to say this too.

What I saw was Ruben throwing the ball with some venom into Andrews back and then Andrews about to throw a water bottle at him before Jones held him back! Not sure what went on but I would suggest that we have a problem in the dressing room! Very concerning what the mentality was before such a big game.

That's what I saw & commented on it at the time.

But Crofts and Stephens are playmakers, how many central midfielder do you need in the starting lineup....where is the width and pace coming from?

Not a problem because they won't all be fit at the same time......

Seriously though and maybe a bit radical but I wouldn't mind seeing just 3 at the back plus Ince in front of them as not many teams in the Championship play with 2 out and out strikers. Then Crofts and Stephens in CM, with a real playmaker at the tip of the diamond, plus wide player and 2 forwards. The unnamed playmaker in my post would be a new signing and have a bit more flair and guile than Crofts or Stephens.

Maybe I've become a bit institutionalised watching Oscar's formations and tactics and just hope for something that would allow a more expansive game.

yes i saw end of it - very bizarre. i feel all is not well in the camp.

DITTO this, saw Ruben throwing a ball at Andrews (I think) and was definitely a sign of an unsettled camp!

Seems to have been a lot of this this season.

Thought Andrews was one of our best yesterday, played with conviction and desire.

Are you on crack?

I actually thought Andrews was one of the few in both games who showed a bit of leadership... despite being a bit crap at least he looked like he gave a shit.

 

[Brighton Mod]

Are you on crack?

No better tha TK, Orlandi, Buckley, Ulloa, Lingaard.

I thought red mist had descended regarding Andrews in the last 10 minutes. Looked as if he wanted to be sent off running around like a headless chicken.

Having more support staff than players is one of the strange things in the modern game. Once was the time players went out and warmed up on their own before matches and were allowed to focus in their own ways. Today we have all sorts of chief cooks and bottle-watchers, many of whom probably know nothing about a footballer's mentality, out there throwing in their own two pennyworth, it's no wonder players get cheesed off.

I hate to say it but they would never have dared to do that if Gus had been on the touchline.

He would have boiled their balls for breakfast.

We need some DISCIPLINE and I fear that Oscar and Jones are not all that hot in latex.
