Key point is..... Max and Valery are NOT playing in their Best positions! Max is a LB. Not a joint CH. & Valery is best at RWB. (+ Valery has been on International duty this week). With what we've got and after injuries... the new year could see..... Iorfa - Bernard - Cooper - Max Valery Amass BEFORE We try and bring in new players during January... and a new owner.

Waiting for..... George Whitebread to comment.... "we need crock Chalobah back". My question George is...... "What Month in 2026 can we expect him to play part of a game and get injured again"? Serious question?

Our Home form is so shocking. For me... we have to play a DIFFERENT formation for Home and then Away games. Maybe...... Home: 3-4-1-2 + Away: 4-5-1 or 4-4-2

Owling Wolfe I said same. DR + HP last season still had a poor home record. So that questions for me..... formation playing at home and changing Away. Hopefully Cooper (with Bernard when he's back in the new year) will tighten defence. That's a good starting point. Make us difficult to score against. + Sign now a ball winning midfielder. + During January with restrictions I know.... ideally bring in a striker and winger. Plus another midfielder if possible?

Amass is a real positive. + * Valery struggled after playing abroad this week. His is a RWB though. + Cooper will help, especially when Bernard gets back. Horvath: 7 (ups & downs but..) Palmer: 5 Iorfa: 3 M. Lowe: 5 Fusire: 3 (Valery has 2 play RWB sap) Amass: 8 - thank goodness!!!! * Valery: 5 Bannan: 5 (carrying a knee injury) Ingelsson: 5 J. Lowe: 3 passed it sorry. Ugbo: 0 OMG! Cooper: 7.5 Cadamarteri: 6 McNeill: 5 Webb (ref): 2 Quote

And have to say.... it started with Danny + HP..... Our Home form has been absolutely appalling! And no improvement. OK we have average players. Injuries to players like Bernard and Weaver not helped... I still believe we need a different formation at home and then Away! And still say why is HP not believing in bringing on Johnson and/or Thornton around 65 mins? Fresh, young players sitting there on bench wondering...? Depression in some players showing now.

Our new owners will want a Manager who can get us out of Division 3 at the first time of asking. So.... in a more physical league, I suspect HP will not be kept on? So the BIG question for the new owners is..... WHO is capable and available and maybe has the experience to get us back into the Championship for 27/28????

Deffo "clumsy". At times looks like "Bambi"!

@owlstalk With what HP has CURRENTLY... Brown + Bailey best 2 up front. Valery to revert to RWB** (** he needs a ball winning midfielder)

Soon..... hopefully... Brown Bernard will be back. But only short term.... as we need new players within the limits imposed by the EFL.

For me HP needs to view Away games differently than at home. As things stand with handcuffs... Away = 4-5-1 Home = 3-4-1-2 We need to stop leaking goals. We need to strengthen midfield.

He is a nice guy. But picking Ugbo now is a joke. But Brown would play when fit again. + For me..... HP should have some confidence in Johnson + Thornton to come on with their youth & energy.

He is "clumsy". With what we've got and with Bernard back with Cooper in the middle.... Iorfa reverts to RB.

Said for ages..... Valery best position is RWB! BUT.... HP admits having to play players out of position. But that decision appears to be demoralising odd players now. With what we've got until during January and meanwhile with injuries reducing.... we would have to play... "soon" ...for Away games..... Iorfa - Bernard - Cooper - Max Valery RWB Amass LWB NEW midfielder Bannan Ingelsson Brown 1) We have to stop conceding goals 2) We need to strengthen midfield + Then during January.... depends on how many new players we can bring in?

We need a ball winning midfielder and maybe plus one other pdq during January. Bannan is "floating" more like Ingelsson.... but that is leaving our midfield weak. Valery is a RWB.

Bannan is carrying an injury. Hence why he cannot sustain himself in the middle. He is a legend. + He has helped Amass come on a lot! But Bannan has very average players around him.

With what we've got...... Brown fit again soon a plus. So Bailey + Brown best 2 we have. HP needs to bring in an experienced, ball winning midfielder. Obvious Baz can't play in the middle much with an injury he is carrying...... Roll on January.... Bernard + Cooper at the back. Iorfa RB. Valery RWB.

Young players CAN offer strength. Fitness levels. Stamina. Future Potential with..... Weaver Brown Johnson Thornton Bailey Any chance 2 keep Amass? + alongside seniors like.... Cooper Bannan Max & Valery Inglesson + NEW PLAYERS.......

Amass has been the only positive for us recently. HP is a really nice guy.... but I do begin to question his odd decisions.... Ugbo OMG. Jamal passed it Fusire for me sorry not good enough. HP needs to have some faith in Johnson + Thornton like he did with young Weaver.

Bannan is an absolute SWFC legend. Seems to me he has been and is carrying an injury, hence why he is playing from the back. That leaves our midfield wide open as Valery best position is deffo RWB. Ingelsson plays more forward too. We desperately need a ball winning midfielder and one other actually. Plus 2 new strikers (or 1 and a winger.) Ugbo + Jamal sorry poor. Jamal nothing like the player he was at Swansea.

The only possible optimism is.... Bernard back mid December or new year. Cooper "blending in". + Valery to play RWB with no Fusire. + Desperately need a ball winning midfielder. + Then during January...... not sure what restrictions we would have ... but.... deffo need a striker or two.

Amass has a great future. We have a poor player Squad. Up front awful. Slack in midfield. Defence with clumsy Iorfa a problem Wish HP would stop starting Ugbo! With what we've got... Bailey + Brown have to start. HP also needs to have faith with Johnson + Thornton.

Question? Is HP "too nice a guy"???? Not avin a go.

Johnson on for Jamal now.

JP needs 2 bring fresh players on now. Ugbo off. Johnson + Thornton on. K
