    Really? I think we’ve looked better in the side with Bamford than without. Bamford had a very good game against Boro too so would’ve been useful to have him in the side these last two. Would be good to start Joseph as he’s got the energy, pressing and work rate that Bamford has but he’ll start Piroe and we just aren’t as good with Piroe at 10 and Rutter at 9 compared with when Bamford is playing.

    He's mentally fragile.

    He’s a posh Chelsea Tory **** but I don’t think you can play at the level he has for so long and genuinely be that soft. Someone said he named Loftus Road as his least favourite ground to play at on some podcast but no way a senior professional player chooses not to play such a big game for you.

    Agree. Boro came back into the game when he was taken off.

    Helped by the fact that Piroe is equally hopeless.

    Also helped by the fact Gnonto was also taken off. Think we missed both tbh.

    What does Joseph have to do to get a start? i said before imo he gets more impressive the longer he has on the pitch, but only been used in short periods at a time.
    Looks dangerous and seems to know where the goal is relative to his position (unlike some) mentioning no names.
    Bamfords work rate is good, but not always, and a lot of the time mostly looks poor, as for Piroe drifts out of the game for long periods, so in my humble opinion, that when a chance presents itself i would much rather it was Joseph on the end of it, because goals more than ever, are now of the utmost importance.

    I agree. Why not try him for the first hour and then introduce one of the other duds if it’s not working

    Farke is not the sort of manager that would throw in Joseph for his first league start (I think) in such a crucial match.

    Given the players you have I’d play an array of speedy midgets rather than a Bamford or Piroe as Plan A. We’ll be compact and rigid but painfully slow.

    That's our master plan. Our midgets are so small, the opposition can't see them. We regularly have 13 or 14 on the pitch but a lot of them aren't visible to the naked eye. Brilliant strategy <ok>

    He fluked the goal, missed a sitter, passing was crap at times, he is a liability and has cost us points IMO. But if you're a fan so be it, I'm not. <cheers>

    Would take a lot of results to go against us. It’s a 50/1 shot last time I looked.
