Roberts or Shackleton need to start against West Brom.

like last year

Agreed

Yes I agree too and I suppose that was what I was eluding to.
We only really have Hernandez who can create a when fit and b when he is on top of his game.
Which quite frankly is less and less lately on both counts.
New blood needed in January to kick start the season before we are dragged back into the pack.

We were appalling in the first half, Preston out enthused us and we couldn't have complained if it was 2 or 3 nil at the break. Second half much better and we could have nicked it but its worrying we have no impact from the bench at all at the minute bar Eddie and some of the bodies on the field at the this point are starting to look a bit jaded at times.

Not expecting much from the next two games in the midlands; hopefully we can nick a win or something at Birmingham but i fear the worst at West Brom could be a thumping like last year.

Its madness the lack of depth we have. We have injuries to Shack Hernandez Foreshaw and Robert's who all can make a difference but it would be frankly criminal to miss out on promotion again due to a lack of quality in depth. It would be inexcusable. I cant bear to think about the fallout if that cost us again.

I was hoping lessons were learned from last season.
But once again we are mirroring last season with no strength in depth.
The midfield does look jaded and with Clarke heading back to Spurs we are also fighting to keep hold of Eddie.
Why Clarke didn't get a run when Harrison failed time after time says a lot about Bielsa.
4 points from the next two games will help!

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Dec 28, 2019 6:00 pm  

Harrison has been decent for me. Clarke's attitude stinks. been kicked out of numerous nightclubs for, let's say, behaving like a rock star.
we need 3 in. esp midfield

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Dec 28, 2019 7:25 pm  

Big big 3 games coming up. Birmingham West Brom away then Weds at home. If we get 6 or 7 points from that we will have done very well. I'm hoping the owners are thinking very carefully about January. It could make or break us
