Midfield - What now?


Arizona

Recommended Posts

Agreed signing perminent or loan only option now!!! Straight red for morgan so thats 3 games out plus hammond out for at least another 3, we cannot rely on James and wotton alone for that long even if both did well tonight.

 

 

I do not understand why AP does not give Jamie White a run out, he could fill this role and get goals, no doubt about it IMP.

I would expect the Ipswich game to be an opportunity for Oscar Gobern, as a few others have stated.

 

James - Thomas - Perry - Harding/Mills (illness permitting)

Antonio - Wotton - Gobern - Lallana

 

Or he could put Waigo on a wing (Edit: or Holmes), and move Lallana into the middle.

 

Fort Tuesday less of an issue as Thomas- Fonte - Seabourne/Perry - Harding

If Gillet is back then he may play. Pardew has shown he has no problems with throwing a new boy in. I guess because of the makeshift defence we will go for a 5 man midfield of Waigo Gillet Wotton Lallana and Holmes, with Gillet and Wotton sitting deeper. Smacks a bit of last season!

I think this would be suicide, poor defence and a midfield too light weight. I agree, move Lallana into the middle though.

I see Kayne McClaggon has recovered from his injury and is back training. Another possibility for the bench over the coming fixture pile-up.

 

Yeah - I like the lad McLaggon whenever I've seen him...which isn't that much of course due to his serious injury. He looks very promising indeed & Pards would have seen little (if anything) of him because he's always been injured since his (Pard's) arrival as gaffer. Not sure how far Kayne is from staking a place on the bench tho?

We need to go and buy someone today if at all poss Stock or Danns or both and Barnard as well come on Saints lets mean business get these 3 in and we have a top quality squad with quality cover for every position and would give us the best squad in the league imo.

 

James & Wotton can fill in for Saturday for me Tuesday is the more important game and we will need some new faces all league games are must win to keep the play off dream alive

Do you think he is anywhere near ready though? If so, why not? Not seen him enough to be honest

how much do you expect us to spend...?

 

we have spent an utter fortune for league 1 already....with probably the biggest squad...maybe pardew could give gobern a game against ipswich....who cares if we lose..

---- James - Wotton

Waigo - Lallana - Antonio

------- Lambert

 

I think Antonio would be a better option from the left, his crossing isn't up to much and he looks better when he cuts in side and just runs.

 

The three advanced midfielders can basically spend the whole game switching around and we can easily swap to 4-4-2 when needed.

I would give gobern, mills, holmes, seaborne amd waigo a games against ipswich

 

I'd go for 'fringe' players all round - if we're going to get to the play offs we're going to have to blood a few more line ups as injuries and suspensions catch up with us (as they have!).

 

---------------------Bart

Thomas----Lancashire----Perry-------Mills

Antonio----Wotton----Gobern------Holmes

-------------Paterson--Connolly/Saga

 

Subs: Forecast, Saga, Saville, Boyle, Doble and any other youth teamers with squad numbers you can think of....

 

My selection might be slightly coloured by the fact I'm going to have to miss the game, but I honestly think this team could give Ipswich a run for their money :)

Suddenly our so-called 'bloated' squad seems very thin...

 

 

Well half of it isn't really even League 1 standard.Although if I were running the club I'd be tempted to ask Gillett (or Doncaster) where they are with that move and if it's going nowhere get him back here for the 2 league games that Morgan (and Hammond) will miss.I do not believe in tarting about.
