How many good players make good managers. Lampard for example. I've seen all our EFL games this season. I don't watch them blindfolded! I know enough how to get best out of the players at our disposal.
Who is bothered if you played left back in the changing room in some semi pro side. Hope you are paying for the match or is it Captain Pugwash rides again.
Smudger he's only forward we've got to lead the line. In the summer we were interested in Ross Stewart why have we let Sunderland get him? Even Smith needs abit of time out to freshen him up. Needs keeper sorting out. I've said two we've seen for us this season will take us down. Why have we signed Vickers? Time to play him. We played better against Sunderland moving Harding back on the right & bringing Giles on. Robbo as well looks like he's getting match sharp. Barlaser back tues much needed.
We signed Vickers as cover. What is your evidence to suggest that Vickers is better than the other two? Or are you just hoping that he might be? Blackman has done nothing much wrong in the last few games except slightly mistime one punch, which (unfortunately) was harshly punished. He seems to have just got some much needed confidence, so let's get back to square one shall we and drop him now just so that you can 'have a look at' Vickers? Genius idea. I was going to say that I missed the Sunderland game but it would be a cheap one so I won't. I have never seen anything except paper talk to suggest that we were ever really interested in Stewart. His record is bang average in a poor league. If he is happy to play in League One, Sunderland are welcome to him. I agree that Giles should start tomorrow. I would start Olosunde aswell. Rough on Harding, but having two quick attacking wing backs would be my preference. Playing as one of three centre backs might be Hardings best position anyway.
I’d also play Olosunde and Giles tomorrow. But Harding will get plenty more games, we’ll need to rotate and players will pick up knocks.
I’m a little worried we’ve left ourselves thin on cover with the number of outs vs ins (even allowing for one in today).
On the other hand, we look better for having a settled team so maybe a smaller squad will be better providing we’re luckier with injuries in the remaining months.
