    Boly was excellent at Chelsea. Which we won.

    Worrall was excellent at Chelsea. Which we won. My point, badly phrased though it was, is that since we've entered this bizarro "Boly good / Worrall bad" stage, we have been on a shit run.

    Boly is a poor footballer. Big lump at the back to head everything is a sound approach in the Championship, but it's not enough at this level.

    Hopefully neither Boly or Joe will play, and we'll go with Felipe, Niakhate and Murillo, which on the face of it, looks chuffing lovely to me. Not sure whether it is realistic but Felipe is training.

    I can definitely get behind that, that's my first choice back three with everyone fit.

    I do agree with that and fingers crossed Felipe is back; but I think you must be watching Boly and Worrall with your eyes closed or else whatever you're drinking to replace the beer is affecting your perception of reality.

    But okay internationally, at the world cup and euro's?

    I understand why we play it against top sides, but I think we're better as a back 4 which I hope we use at home v Villa.

    Not really, not if you want to win it. But international football is also not at the level of top end club football - the best club teams would murder most international sides.

    Not sure I agree with that. I think we look better with a 3. It also helps the MGW dilemma as he can play off a sole forward. Since MGW signed, I think we've struggled to find a system that he fits in to. He's clearly a talented lad, and vital to us, but I don't want to see him playing right wing again.

    Agree with all that. Also, Pantz's position that we use a 3 against top sides is consistent with using it against Villa. They're really good.

    It depends whether we use it as a 3 or a 5 as well. We bought a bunch of wingbacks, presumably for this very reason. We've even got Tavares available again if we want to be super attacking down the left.

    Apparently the next centre back we're signings is Nino, captain of Fluminese and a Brazil International known for his ability on the ball as well as being able to nut it with his nut.

    This week in Ingo vs tickets I'm buying, not selling. Is there anyone who a) has one for sale or b) has any knack for getting a exchange one (aside from just refreshing the page)? TIA.

    I was a) on holiday then and b) hadn't discovered I'd already agreed a pass out for this fixture. Tell whoever it is the deal is off, we've been friends for 2 decades and that should be enough in this case.

    Put it on the exchange, so I don’t know who whoever is.
