Blimey, didn't see that one coming! 😁 Very poor way to manage a player isn't it. Just when I was starting to think Rowett may actually be getting somewhere he does this. If we lose on Saturday he can go fuck himself. If we win will you be prepared to call it a masterstroke from Rowett? We can't play the same 11 every game of the season. Gary knows what he's doing

Got to be honest, seems a bit odd to me changing a winning team but if it gets points on the board it's justified.
Could be a bluff though to keep wba guessing.

Strong hint from Rowett in the press conference he'll be on the bench on Saturday because WBA present a "different tactical challenge" nad he's reluctant to go in with 2 strikers! Blimey, didn't see that one coming! 😁 He also says ‘I’d be a brave man to drop Saido after scoring his first goal in 2 years’

Sorry that's rubbish. How can you say the club have not backed the management. Apart from huge outlays on Berahino, Imbula, Wimmer, and Shaq in the past, the club have made massive outlays on expensive loans for players on huge wages Bony, Jese, Zouma and others. There have been other players we went after like Lemina and Delph (loan) but failed to attract. There is no way Coates has "pulled the rug", he has coughed up whenever needed. The failures have been down to rank bad management; buying/loaning players who have failed to perform - the list is endless, poor levels of fitness, lack of discipline, and bazaar team selections and substitutions. The only way Coates is to blame is to allow the bad management to persist for so long. Huge my arse! Our club record transfer is £18 million for a club that finished 9th 3 seasons in a row that is PATHETIC and clearly shows a total lack of ambition, while always talking about the next level the truth was that we tried to do it on a shoe string budget. Bournemouth have a higher record signing than us , yes that huge club Bournemouth. talksport.com/football/407542/bournemouth-club-record-signing-jefferson-lerma/When did we spend £100 million in a season on players? that is what was needed for next level, we lacked the stars and the depth of quality in the squad to reach any higher. We still cling to players that have been past their sell by date for 3 seasons then wonder why no one wants our players. Good God I bet our transfer team still wear Tank Tops and Budgie Jackets. Face the truth we are an old fashioned club run by an old fashioned man and his cronies who place loyalty above performance. It's not all about spend if you have an academy that can discover players but hey, Ours is shit and has produced NO ONE of note a complete waste of time and investment. Was Bojan, Arni, Shaqiri and N'zonzi Rank bad management or did they represent the best period in our clubs history since the 70's? You say Coates is to blame for overseeing the bad management, then tell me WHY is he still doing exactly the same. Our players are still unfit. Dear oh dear - shocking state of affairs. Never mind, it will be better in the not too distant future. The next really big asteroid to hit Earth could be in just short of 100 years. In the meantime just smoke a Hamlet

I was referring more to the inference that he would be reverting back to a 433 tomorrow and ditching the number 10 spot to accommodate Allen and Woods. I could certainly see Berahino leading the line on his todd tomorrow.

If rowett does revert to 433 to accommodate wba ‘tactics’ that’s stupid in my eyes. We have won two games in a row with two clean sheets and we are clearly improving. Why not let WBA worry about us instead?

In the meantime just smoke a Hamlet You need to get some facts in place before you spout off. For the last season we have full information on, Stoke’s wage bill was £14 million more than Bournemouth’s and. Alighieri share of revenue, demonstrating the owners’s commitment. Stoke’s Player amortisation, the best guide of transfer spend on average, was higher than Bournmeouth’s and similar to most clubs outside th stop 6, Everton, West Ham and Leicester -all three had way higher revenue in the 2016/17 season. Stoke City have clealry made mistake son transfers but the money spent on transfers and especially wages, which are the main factor in driving success, has been right at the limit of what could be afforded by owners who are £80million plus down in term soft money given to the club. This ignores the very generous Bet365 sponsorship which means Stoke’s commercial income is much higher than our gates would suggest we could earn

I could certainly see Berahino leading the line on his todd tomorrow. Yeah, if Rowett does go 4-3-3 tomorrow I'd very much expect Saido to be leading the line over Afobe. Whether that will work the same or not, who knows. A lot Berahino's good work lately has come from further back, dropping in and finding space. He won't be able to do that so much if he's the main striker.

With not scoring. He's putting a shift in, but he's just a extension of the midfield.. Not one middle man has got a goal in em.... A centre forward (diouf) is now a starter as a right winger and the McLean couldn't cross a bingo card.. Sad viewing.. M

He looks more like a footballer of late but I don't think even Gayle would do great with the (lack of) service given to our forwards.
Woods looks like he can put a ball through the channels, hopefully he can supply the chances the kid needs...

How utterly soul crushing that we spent all summer chasing after the excellent Dwight Gayle, but have ended up watching Berahino plod about instead. I wasn't particularly impressed with his performances thus far, but I thought that I was missing something by only being able to watch on the TV. Having seen him in person today, I can only conclude that he's just not got it any more.
I'm sorry, but if he starts more than a dozen games this season then we'll struggle to finish in the top half.

I used my eyes and saw the same player that I saw when he signed for us - one who doesn't know what sort of striker he wants to be. He's now trying to reinvent himself as a number 10, but he doesn't really have the vision, invention or creativity for the role. As for the idea that we were worse when he went off, we were garbage when he was on the pitch and garbage when he left the pitch. He made no difference whatsoever, which is a huge part of the problem.

Drops deep, tidy on the ball, ultimately not enough. You need your No10 to be creative. He's not.
Play him up front or not at all.

He wasn't very good today but hooking him and leaving Crouch on all game and , even worse, pushing Allen up to play as a 10 and playing a striker on the wing was the work of a crazy man.

We died a death when allen moved to 10 especially, but i agree we need a more creative number 10. Saido has played well though.

Not sure exactly what Saido is. He’s not a number 10, seems more of a second striker type. Good to see him getting some form and confidence back, he’s still a very very good player if he can get going. In a team that goes at teams and creates chances I think he could be really effective. Here’s hoping 💪
