supersonic Posted 31 July, 2010 Share Posted 31 July, 2010 Thats right. Man U had to play their CM'S at Cb for a period last season. Every club gets them, its how you deal with it. Didnt Everton play with Cahill upfront on his own for a time last season when they had no strikers? And a few years ago Blackburn had no strikers they had 2 play samba up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 31 July, 2010 Share Posted 31 July, 2010 Good update on Solent. We deserve the lead and should have just scored a third - a good run and cross by dickson (who has been outstanding) and the shot by Connolly is stopped at point blank range by their keeper. Doble for Connolly also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 31 July, 2010 Share Posted 31 July, 2010 It is not a half strength squad I would have thought but the Squad minus a few players Really?

VectisSaint Posted 31 July, 2010 Share Posted 31 July, 2010 It is not a half strength squad I would have thought but the Squad minus a few players Think if you take out 7 first teamers its fair to say half-strength: Richardson, Seaborne, Lambert, Lallana, Schneiderlin, Puncheon and Holmes all missing today. Shows that we have strength in depth in most areas though that we can still field a decent side, only area where we don't have depth is up front as Ryan Doble seems to be No4 striker at the moment (unless you consider Lallana a striker). MF is strong with Pulis on the bench (as long as thats where he stays). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 31 July, 2010 Share Posted 31 July, 2010 You just know Antonio will score - won't he? I still find it slightly hard to believe that we haven't tried to secure his transfer. I mean, surely he made enough friends down here to want to come back, and he also would have a better chance of 1st team status. Or perhaps he thinks he's nearer the front at Reading..? Many variables, I'm sure [championship club, etc...], but it would be nice to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 31 July, 2010 Share Posted 31 July, 2010 not really, it's a bunch of academy players out there now which is why we've conceded a couple more unfortunately. Spot on. Reading were one of the form teams in the last few months of last season so they are a strong out fit. I am sure with best players back to fitness with a couple of additions to squad we will be fine. I am curious to know what is happening with seabourne. something not right there. Injury prehaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, there are many variables as to why we haven't secured his transfer. I'd just like to know exactly why not, because his ability to make the difference, or score when required, was one of the key elements of last season.
