We have to start surridge tomorrow. He’s movement is top class and if he plays off Trent and the CB next to him it will create space for our other attacking players who should be Johnson and MGW simply because of the pace they have. If we’re brave enough to try and play football against Liverpool I think that has to be our front three tomorrow.

Agree Trent and without a surridge occupying two of their defenders they will push us back continually. It’s a situation that cooper has not had the courage or foresight to deploy at all which really bewilders.

I think it'll be Dennis on the left, Johnson on the right and sadly I think he'll play Awoniyi (who is terrible! ) . Would love Surridge to get a run in the team.

Awoniyi is a mystery to me. Can’t run can’t head couldn't trap a bag of cement and has a terrible shot. Ah well sounds like a hatrick today???

Rutland, you should specialise in being wrong. But seriously, time to stop ripping into players we don't know much about yet.

Oh, and Ryan Yates IS A GOOD PLAYER.

I'm sure he would boil his head but as energy prices are so high, do you think it would be ok if he just puts it on a low simmer?

Wise after the event? I DEFINITELY posted on here that I think they should play Awoniyi for the Liverpool game. I also consistently said we need to be patient and give Cooper and these players time to gel and adjust to playing in a new division. DEFINITELY ON THE RECORD. ?

Awoniyi is now our top scorer with 3 goals from 5 starts. That is not terrible and he should improve as he adjusts to what Cooper wants and a new division.

And I'm not on here to antagonise, that was banter, as was the boil your head comment I hope. Just stop being wrong so often. ?

I do find it antagonistic, from those of you who started slagging off the players without giving them time to settle. New players often take time to bed in. New country, new manager (so new methods/ tactics), new teammates. The problem is we had to bring in a lot of new players, so it seems worse than usual as it is effectively a new team and these things don't happen overnight.

Please, fellow trickies, give this team and boss more time. We will have some more bad results. This team needs a few good results to build more spirit and identity. But the potential is there. We saw what Cooper can do last season.

Well said cyclist
The pundits never take into account how many players we were left with after Wembley, seven or eight to be honest so a mass influx was needed,
140 million sounds a lot, but it isn't when the big boys buy two players for that.
It's alright saying we only needed to sign the loans and add two or three, we would not of picked a point up trust me and we wouldn't have the required 25 man squad and would suffer with just two injuries or suspensions.
Your right it does take time, especially with practically no preseason.
The only thing that really annoyed me was the name calling of Cooper after the miracle ha achieved last season.
I do believe he's made mistakes, which I'm sure he wouldn't deny and it's right to have a say on team selection on here, but he's not deserving of ridicule.

Yes cyclist it was tongue in cheek but being wrong all the time isn’t me and I don’t make predictions just discuss what I feel. It’s my opinion and to some it’s wrong that’s ok.

I still feel surridge would bring a new dimension to our game and the goals that awoniyi ( awonya) has scored we’re the sort that surridge would also bury but would have buried a lot more.

Yes many of the players brought in supposedly didn’t have a pre season, then those that did got injuries. I think the arsenal game not the score so much but the energy and fluidity will dictate whether we have turned a corner…

Agree that Surridge should get more of a chance. Prob won't start for the Arsenal game now though. If a striker is on a scoring run you simply have to play them so Awoniyi will start, if fit.

I also don't think we are suddenly world beaters. There is a fair bit of work needed to fully turn the corner. But we have got some good players and Cooper is the man to do it. Definitely not certainties to go down IMO.

I can see why Cooper wanted to try to play Lodi. He is obviously an attacking WB and suits Coopers system better than Toffolo. That's why he is trying to get Aurier in - to give more threat going forward. Feel sorry for Toffolo as he isn't a bad player.
