Originally posted by The Dolphin I cannot believe he is starting Benteke!! Townsend gives better defensive cover and will do more with the ball. Ayew has to play out of position as well. It is broke Roy so fix it for goodness sake! It appears to be blind stubbornness and I hope I am wrong but I feel a heavy away defeat coming on. Would love to be proved wrong!!! It might be that Townsend isn’t ready yet to start? Agree Ayew shouldn’t be in that position and should be up front with Benteke on the bench. I would have either Kouyate (my preference) or Meyer starting in The midfield four? Let’s hope Hodgson and Benteke prove us wrong :-)

No surprises in starting 11. Only change Mitchell for Kelly. Got to feel for Riedewald. Will be tough match, overjoyed with a point after last 2 home defeats. They will be buoyed by coming back and winning last week with 10 men. Wilf's 350th appearance in the Red and Blue. Let's hope he puts on a show. COYP !!

Originally posted by Plaistow Eagle Or if ai't broke don't try and fix it..!! Oops my bad - it is broke..!! Hodgson please - why the same team that lost at Home to Sheff U, surely Kouyate for McCarthy and Townsend for Benteke and move Ayew back up front..!! Jeez..!! You would have thought this move is obvious, but apparently not. Expect the trademark Benteke grimace when he misses another sitter early on today. Thankfully, last night I put a £20 bet on with a mate at 15-1 that we would go down. The beauty of this is that my gambling hit rate is absolutely appalling so we will be safe this season now.

Nothing ever changes. Same team every time no matter who we are playing. Imagine how demoralising it is for players knowing that no matter how much effort you put in during training you've got no chance of making the starting line up unless someone is injured.

Originally posted by Alex55 Today is Benteke's day. He will score at least one goal. People have been saying that for 2 years. My usual response is that yes , on the law of averages, he will eventually score, but I am beginning to think that Tekkers is doomed to flout that law indefinitely.

Of how demoralizing it is when those that play are rubbish and you still can't get a start!

Looking at that team my heart sinks. Try something different, Roy. If we manage to win I'll be overjoyed but it won't do anything to change Roy's tedious tactics. The team look demotivated. The fans are starting to look demotivated. Here we go again.
