Dig Dig Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Fox isn't good going forwards at all. He just has a good left foot but doesn't have pace or skill to beat a man. He would be terrible.
Thedelldays Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 I can see ramirez slotting into LM...with lambert in the hole...... this will see Guly being used more from the bench also if this is the case...we will see j-rod get his run of games as the main striker......time to step up if so
Window Cleaner Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Fox,Reeves,De Ridder whatever next, fortunately Nigel picks the team these days. If Lallana is out the role will be filled by either Rodriguez,JWP, Guly or Davis, amateurs of non-entities desist forthwith.
Turkish Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Shaws profile says he is 6'1......I was surprised by this! This is clearly propoganda.
saint_bert Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 I'm aware that is who Nigel will go with. I'm just putting out another option. One that doesn't have Gaston out wide or a CF playing wide. Opinions and all that.
VectisSaint Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Time to se what Mayuka can do. Good idea, replace left sided midfielder with right sided striker who shows nothing playing for the u21s and is off to the African cup in the New Year.

One that doesn't have Gaston out wide or a CF playing wide. Opinions and all that. Lallana doesn't play wide, every time I see him he's down the inside left channel; In fact I think if you study the videos Rickie is often a lot wider than Adam. Really can't see any reason to change the system we used from 40 minutes onwards on Saturday.
Saint J 77 Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 It had to be bad didn't it!? So annoying, just as we started to look like a settled team. I hope we can find a better solution than playing players out of position.
slickmick Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 (edited) Good idea, replace left sided midfielder with right sided striker who shows nothing playing for the u21s and is off to the African cup in the New Year. Where did I say play him on the left ? Playing for the u21s and not looking good enough, think there was a similar debate on a certain Luke Shaw, how did he turn out ? And yes I know he will be off to African Nations Cup in January, but isn't that when the transfer window opens ? Edited 10 December, 2012 by slickmick

Saint Garrett Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Puncheon has played over there quite a few times, but not sure I'd want us to change him as well as he's been impressing last few weeks.
Window Cleaner Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Puncheon has played over there quite a few times, but not sure I'd want us to change him as well as he's been impressing last few weeks. Punch and Clyne work very well together, need to leave that be.
Turkish Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 There is man that we currently have on our books, a man that can fill the void, a man that has lightening pace and incredible strength. Step forward Jonno Quick, it's your time again........
UpweySaint Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Ince or Phillips for me in january now more important then ever. Both can play on either wing or cut inside like punch and lallana both do. Personal preference is phillips but wouldn't be dissapointed if we got ince! Of course there are always going to be options abroad and I wont be surprised to see our recruitment special advisory board (or whatever they're called!) find somebody we know little about from a foreign league. Maybe Anders fancies one last season back in the prem?
RedWillie Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 But we haven't heard how bad it is for def yet......
Appy Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 But we haven't heard how bad it is for def yet...... Must be very.
benjii Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 This should at least make us harder to beat away form home. Every cloud.
VectisSaint Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 There is man that we currently have on our books, a man that can fill the void, a man that has lightening pace and incredible strength. Step forward Jonno Quick, it's your time again........ Just a very minor point but I don't think he is registered in our PL squad. So playing him would be a disaster as we would face a points deduction. Not to mention doing a Burley and playing a striker in a MF role. I can think of at least one more reason not to play him but I think that will do for now.

I can think of at least one more reason not to play him but I think that will do for now. Every team has a place in their squad for Jonno Quick. To suggest we would be docked points for playing him is beyond the pale and IMO deserves a ban, or infractions as a minimum.

With his pace he can whizz up and down that left flank.

Great idea, playing with 10 men often galvanises teams into playing better, playing with Forte would be like playing with 10 men plus a statue One of those signings that I really will never understand.
St Chalet Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 @DuncanHolley: @SimonPeach @birdyburch reliable rumour is it is not good news #hardplayertoreplace
Avenue Saint Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Put it on record, I reckon we'll spend ANOTHER £20m in January! Replacement for Lallana in Jeremain Lens please. £8m should do it...
itchen_dan Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Put it on record, I reckon we'll spend ANOTHER £20m in January! Replacement for Lallana in Jeremain Lens please. £8m should do it... Oh Yes Please! Would be a terrific signing!
CaneNero Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Tom Ince or Matt Phillips. How Blackpool have held on to them for so long I have no clue!! Oh yeah tell them they can take Guly if they want too....
LGTL Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Break has come at the right time as Luke Shaw is carrying an injury at the moment too.
Smirking_Saint Posted 10 December, 2012 Posted 10 December, 2012 Break has come at the right time as Luke Shaw is carrying an injury at the moment too. And yoshi
LeBenali Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 4-2-3-1 formation with Rickie up top and three from Punch/Ramirez/Mayuka/Guly behind him. Not ideal, but for the next 3 games at least it's all we'll have to play with. It should still be a team good enough to get 3 points against Sunderland..
Pilchards Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 I saw enough in the 10 minute he played vs Reading to know Guly can step in Adams place.
Brussels Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 What about Lee, our forgotton man? If I remember rightly is he not also able to operate on the left side of our 3 attacking midfielders? Mayuka is definitely right sided or an outright striker, so my guess is that it would be Guly, Lee or Ramirez. I personally would prefer Ramirez to stay in his central attacking role and see how Guly or Lee get on.

Mayuka is definitely right sided or an outright striker, so my guess is that it would be Guly, Lee or Ramirez.

Sour Mash Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 The forum has spoken. Lee is the new Guly. So that won't happen...... Not really the same is it? Everyone that has seen Lee's last few appearances for the club have been unanimous in their assessment of his performances not being good enough and I think we can be pretty sure Adkins will think the same.
Smirking_Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 You may even see young chambers step up to the plate yet, but it will possibly be Davis playing wide left. We still have options, but losing a player of lallanas quality is a real blow
Thedelldays Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Put it on record, I reckon we'll spend ANOTHER £20m in January! Replacement for Lallana in Jeremain Lens please. £8m should do it... You reckon we will spend £50m in one season?? Ok then
sussexsaint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Gutted for Adam as well, all this time and effort to get us back here. Fingers crossed we see him again this season.
Suomi Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Does anyone actually know the extent of the injury?
S-Clarke Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Does anyone actually know the extent of the injury? Apparently a season-ending one. That's whats come from a few reliable voices at the mo.
tajjuk Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Scott Sinclair on loan? seeing as he is doing f*ck all at City, not the same player but lightning quick, excellent season last year used to playing in a passing/possession team.
Sour Mash Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Apparently a season-ending one. That's whats come from a few reliable voices at the mo. Which reliable voices has this come from?
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 For ****s sake. I knew it was all going too well recently. I think we could be in big trouble now
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 What about Chaplow out there? His decent run of form last season came as attacking left mid when Adam was out. Could do a job until Jan & would give Shaw a bit more cover away from home.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 If he is out for the season I think I would rather have lost to Reading and AL be fine. Wonder when Saints will say? Far better to release the news now than close to the Sunderland game IMO.

Saint Charlie Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Behave. Indeed. Chaplow is not a Premier League player.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 11 December, 2012 Posted 11 December, 2012 Indeed. Chaplow is not a Premier League player. Technically he is...but I see your point. I think we'll have to look at Guly in my opinion, he's nowhere near as bad as some people think he is.
