Zip Have a feeling Ejaria will start tomorrow night to give one of the midfielders a rest.

Theroyalbox 143 tickets left.


More or less sold out then. Understand the disgusting pricing but we only have 2 London away games and few local ones bar Watford, Luton and maybe Bristol City. The rest of the league is basically northern.

Bit like Luton and Bristol are exactly close either

Fair play for selling the tickets with the crappy train strike etc

I think he'd be a welcomed addition into the midfield 3, I personally think that's where I saw him consistently performing during his initial loan spell and that's his best position for me anyway.

Tough decisions to make due to the game being away from home against a side performing well and in form. It's tough to change much in the midfield from Tuesday, but obviously aware rotation might be necessary, but then you'd be thinking that Mbengue might be best to give us a bit of energy and battle in the middle, whereas Ejaria might be best to come off the bench if we are chasing the game.

Not what I'm seeing, trains are running to both Paddington and Waterloo but with less frequency than normal

Think Ejaria will start...Ince has been talking him up on the OS this week

Ejaria behind Carroll/Ince has the opportunity to be a very, very strong front 3 as each have very different skill sets that will make it very hard to shut all 3 down. As shutting down one, should create opportunities for the other 2.

And if all 3 can work together. Carroll wins header to Ejaria, who in turn finds the pass to Ince who bursts forward the moment Carroll wins the header. Could be very exciting indeed.

Fair chance he will I guess, depends on his fitness

See him as more a replacement for Fornah or Hendrick than a Tom Ince style number 10. Really don’t see him as an especially attacking option nowadays, more a pretty well rounded midfielder

Different topic but think Ovie shows one of the things wrong with modern mens pro football. Get a sublimely skilled maverick midfielder and end up turning him into a fairly defensive work horse who doesn’t create a lot. Bit of a shame really

I think it's just perception personally. You see a talented player with the ball and automatically assume he should be able to create chances at will, score and assist 15+ a season (each) and be the best player, it's one of the gripes I have with Grealish, where everyone thinks he should get all these numbers, when that's not actually what he was bought for.

I think as an attacking midfielder/winger, you're wanting to them to hit 5-10 goals minimum and a similar amount of assists, whereas as a more central midfielder, like an 8, the direct contribution you're looking at would be substantially less in a lot of cases. Ovie's biggest criticism is his numbers, not his talent or ability. Take away the criticism by changing his role and position (to what I think suits him best personally) and I think there will be less pressure on him.

He works hard for the team, is good with the ball and can open up space elsewhere. Nice to have that in an attacking area, but not every player fits that logic. Sometimes having him in a crowded central midfield area to turn away from 2/3 players and exploit open defences by passing it to the players (Ince, Meite, Joao, Carroll, wing backs etc) that are meant to do the creating/scoring might suit him better.
