Thompson still suspended. I'd sooner have Yates starting than Ladapo he can play on the left. Assuming Vassell out.
Iverson
Olosunde Ihiewke Wood Wiles
Ogbene Lindsay Barlaser Crooks Yates
Smith
Bench Bilboe Mattock Lamy Hastie Ladapo Adelakun Clarke
If Mattock is fit then Mattock for Wiles. Tough on Wiles who has done a great job covering but he isnt a left back and never will be. Ladapo for Vassell if Vassell is not fit. Otherwise same side as last two games.
Ladapo has done absolutely nothing wrong. He was scoring goals and playing well. Smith offers something different and Vassell has been in a rich vein of form so Ladapo has missed out recently, but if Vassell is out injured Ladapo is the obvious replacement and I don't think we would be worse for it.
I'm all for all our players including Yates. But he has to earn his place on merit. He has been brought back to give us more strength in depth. Ladapo has the same number of goals as Yates this season but has played fewer games and has got them in a league below. Ladapo is next in line if Vassell is injured. That's fairly obvious. Gwru has obviously passed judgment on Adelakun who he wrote off before even seeing him. I'm not sure what impact we expected but he has come in and played in two games that we have won by a combined 6-1. Send him back!
Stan and Ollie have a new bit of bull**** to squark on here ....play Yates over Freddie.....brilliant. do you think they share the one brain cell between them and carry it in a jar
Derby always thought you was lacking but you haven't got a clue. Freddie as you call him you've either got it or you haven't he's not in the same league as JCH. Warney will start with him if Vassell is out. If Peterborough are anything like a side it won't work same as playing Adelakun.
Derby you and I often see things very differently and frankly I doubt we would get on if we met (no offence), but on this we can agree - we have our resident clowns in full swing. Five wins in a row, top scorers in the league and top of the league. There isnt really anything to complain about so what do they do? Complain in advance and keep their fingers crossed that we lose so they can say they were right. He/she/they are either having a joke at our expense or are genuine idiots. Either way, it isnt funny.
We lost in the cup against Hull it might be a bit negative in your world we haven't won 5 in a row in the league yes. Some people on this site might not like it but I am not Warneys biggest fan. If we win tomorrow great but that is it.
smiler I've said before on here I want us to go up then we'll be forced to cull the squad of sick notes & players past their sell by date. Read yesterday's tizer. Warney says regards bringing Yates back he did it for our club not the player we are not running a charity. Well Jones & McDonald also Potter before them are/were sick notes only difference from the real world they get full pay length of their contracts. It's about opinions I can't see no fighting spirit in Ladapo. He wouldn't get you back in a game. Much sooner see what Yates can do. Adelakun I can't see why we brought him in stuck on the left wing no pace can't beat a man all right foot. Holding Lamy back though he needs bringing through when it's right unless as I've said he's as good as I think he is. We've got a decent side need a defender in, left back we haven't got that right all season. If we want to go up automatic just bad decisions will stop us.
I could have sworn that Freddie twice scored equalisers at Portsmouth, and maybe it was a mirage but I seem to remember him and Vassell changing the game when we were 2-0 down at MK Dons. My memory is that Freddie scored twice in a 3-2 comeback win. He also scored the first equaliser when we battled for a point against Fleetwood. But you're probably right gwru - Freddie will never get you back in a game. Like the rest of them really. As you said when you jumped the gun part way through the Solihull cup tie (where Freddie started the comeback with our first), 'theres no fight in a Warney team'. It will be a tough game today. There is a possibility that (shock horror) we might lose. I bet you can't wait. Just try and hold on until the final whistle though before you start with your critique if we fall behind. You wouldn't want to embarrass yourself again, would you?
