Team for January onwards.

....................Davies.................

James......Pearce......Killer/Perry......Skacel

Thompson.....Cork.....Schederlin.........Holmes

...............Saga...........John.............

 

Sell Surman, I think above midfield is better.

Sell Lallana, although has future potential we need to concentrate on the present. Besides, Gobbern could well be better, plus we might still have Dyer returned.

 

Send back Peckhart, Robinson, Gasmi.

 

Try to relaese BWP, Euell and Rasiak.

 

Hopefully this will free up enough funds to keep the above team.

 

In the mean time I would try Peckhart up front with BWP feeding off his flick ons and play a more direct style.

Forget Killer, he's finished.

 

And there is no way Lowe will let Saga or John play for us again.

[NickG]

think committed to buying Gasmi?

 

Think he may turn out to be ok.

[Nexstar]

In january if we sell surman or lallana and then offload one or two of john/rasiak/dyer and just bring saga back into the team i will be happy.

[team-saint]

thomson has to play right wing he is the only way that we can make the midfield balanced.

[mynameisthehulk]

Jack Cork's loan ends in January doesnt it?

[InvictaSaint]

Think he may turn out to be ok.

 

Not based on what I saw of him on Saturday. He made Ali Dia look accomplished. Still, this is what happens when you let Rupert sign players....:-)

Which team did you mean? The one on the pitch or the one 'upstairs'?

I posted a very similar observation on here after Saturday's match.

 

Gasmi looked shell shocked and didn't appear to have a clue what he was doing.

 

I haven't bothered looking at how many games he played for whoever he came from, but hope someone did a better job scouting him than they did with Mr Dia.

I'm inclined to agree with you that he is a waste of space. He was woeful Saturday but then so were most in red n white so I'll give him a chance. I hope Nick is right. Of the other loans, Cork is definately worth a long term commitment and Pearce, though inconsistent, may provide good cover. The rest can go back although there is not much to choose between Dyer and Robertson (in terms of contribution).

 

One player that was particularly awful in the second half was Skacel. Just wanted to get rid of the ball - and he's a cheating bugger - always backing in then falling over. Despite the call for experience in the side our most memorable games this season have been when the youngsters have played without the so called older heads.

[lumpofshipperley]

Personally thought Skacel was one of the better players on Saturday. At least he knows what he's doing.

 

Our midfield is pap. No heart, no drive, lightweight and toothless. They've lost their way.

 

I'd have Wotton in the team to kick some arse (our players, not the opposition).
