Coventry City 4-1 Newcastle United (Too early to say title charge?)

Um, but then as well I suppose worth touching on, um, the lineups obviously came out while we were at Dillon's.

Um, and it just shows, you know, all of our pre-match predictions for the lineup were pretty wrong.

Um, Lamps really went for it, didn't w- didn't he?

Yeah.

I mean, it shows why we're not football managers, doesn't it? I mean, it, I- it totally knocked us for six I think.

Like, definitely, definitely myself.

Um, but it's a weird one.

I don't know how you felt.

Although it was not what I was expecting I, I, I guess we just trust in Lampard, don't we? So like, I was like, you know what? This is I think only optimistic because he's obviously had so long to work with people over the international break.

He's obviously gonna put out what he thinks is right for the game.

So it was a case of like, let's see what we can do, I think.

Yeah, I think I was definitely happy to see that specific three-man midfield of-

Mm-hmm

...

Grimes, Urenyi and Rudoni.

And so I was chuffed with that and I think obviously we'll get into the actual game, but I think the three of them were all really good and as a unit, as a midfield, I thought they were really good as well.

So I thought moving another...

Sort of the effect of the difference is move to center half into midfield and it made all the difference I think to be honest.

Yeah.

I agree.

And like, I think it suits our kind of collection of players more.

We don't have as many players playing out of position.

Yeah.

I mean, obviously it's match dependent, isn't it? In terms of the shape we play.

Um, 'cause I wouldn't have dropped Funi off of the back of Nottingham Forest but I think Frank said even in his post-match that that's not something he wanted to do but just felt it necessary.
