This season is shaping up to be even worse than last season , if thats possible. 

It really is unbelievable,we just seem to have to many players that can't be relied on to stay fit,according to the bbc koutroumbis latest injury is from putting his strip on,which if true has to the worst one yet.

We are literally rushing guys back to play, due to the injuries to others...im pretty certain JK would not have been playing recently had Sparra not injured himself...now JK rushes back, plays a bit, and then gets re-injured.

Incredibly frustrating

Exactly,  which is why I fully understand AJ making the changes on Sunday

That presser by AJ was brilliant. He set the record straight for the press and the fans.

I was one to criticise the starting 11 on Sunday, even though I realised that there were injuries and players that had played a lot of games. However, after AJ presser today, I understand why he started the team that he did. Also, singling out the younger players and the specific criticisms,  explaining that their earlier euro performances were good enough to instill confidence, and that he still has confidence in them, will surely help them.

I was hugely impressed by AJ's response. He appears to have rral strength and belief in his approach and ability to do the right thing for the players and the club. He is already showing that he'll be a great manager.

We all need to put Sunday behind us and give the team and staff our maximum tomorrow.

COYW!

His grip on the language is extraordinary. It’s better than Jens and certainly a million times on from Wimmer.

hes really clear as well with what is going on. I really like the guy and considering our horrific injury situation and the players leaving, he’s doing brilliant in my view.

im over the whole league cup exit, i do get the annoyance from the fans to an extent but the whole “it’s so important and a chance to win a cup” stuff is the same every fkn year. We haven’t won that cup in over 75yrs…. What’s another year. I’m just not a fan of the Nancy cup anyway.

Very impressive press conference.

Alfred isnt as intimidating as Jens, but he is no shrinking violet either, and showed real strength of character in his answers.

Im sure that will transmit to the players and he will have earned their respect as a result.

Still annoyed about the League Cup exit, but 100% understand it and it will soon be forgotten about if we get a strong performance tomorrow night.

If you google it, there are a few highly recommended Tex Mex places!

I don't know about the food, but if you like wine I'd ask the waiter what the good local vino is. You'll get some excellent, cheap booze and even better service.
