woodsaint Posted 30 April, 2019 Share Posted 30 April, 2019 this will not be the team, ffs Lemina will probably start in place of Ings and maybe Targett to play LWB at the expense of Stephens I didnt say it would be......ffs Just suggesting what i would like to see as a supporter, hope thats ok.......ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsaint Posted 30 April, 2019 Share Posted 30 April, 2019 Pellegrini has transformed WHU into a very good footballing side that comprehensively outplayed Spurs the other day. They are on the way up whereas we are in 'sighs of relief mode'. No contest really and the usual 0-3 drubbing beckons on the cards. Honestly after the season our lads have had campaign weariness seems inevitable and it is hard to see where the motivation will come from to do any better. Not sure about that. It was only their 2nd win in their last 7 games (the previous one was scraping past Huddersfield 4-3), even Cardiff beat them (like us). They are really hit and miss and i think we can get a narrow win here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress and pressure off! we could still finish as high as 12 (depending on other teams results) if we win our last two games I certainly want us to finish as high possible plus West Ham fans are mostly dicks so beating them is always good.

John Boy Saint Posted 2 May, 2019 Share Posted 2 May, 2019 I can’t see Ralph taking the foot off the gas, he said last weekend that the work for next season starts tomorrow, he’ll no doubt want a bit of momentum to carry into the summer, and likewise he will no doubt be making sure that everyone knows every starting position is currently vacant for next season.

Shroppie Posted 2 May, 2019 Share Posted 2 May, 2019 Vestergaard out for the season, as expected, but Maya not available either, which is a blow. Hope he goes with three at the back, including Bertrand, with Targett LB. Unless he decides to give Ramsey or Jones a chance. At least Carroll is out.

Shroppie Posted 2 May, 2019 Share Posted 2 May, 2019 ...Sorry, but I wouldn't be happy risking Forster. Suppose the only chance of moving him on is to put him in the shop window (with a Massive Reduction sign). Momentum in the last couple of games is important to take forward into next season and we're already without Vestergaard and Yoshida.

SKD Posted 2 May, 2019 Share Posted 2 May, 2019 Imo next 2 games should be used to look at players who haven’t had much game time and that we might be thinking of shipping out. With that in mind, I wouldn’t be disappointed to see Forster, Gallagher, Moi get a game. Hopefully Lemina starts as well as he’s had very limited game time since injury.

qwertyell Posted 2 May, 2019 Share Posted 2 May, 2019 Seems pointless playing Forster - we have an excellent young, developing keeper, and the best thing for his development is to keep playing games. He'll learn more on the pitch than on the training ground with Dave Watson hitting drop kicks straight at him.

beatlesaint Posted 2 May, 2019 Share Posted 2 May, 2019 He’s probably testing out to see if he can be counted on being No.2 next season. I’m sure he is. I hope for his sake if he plays he has a great game no matter what the score. Mentally he must be in a much better place than the last time he played for the first team. Its unfortunate for Forster however that he will have Stephens in front of him. I thought Yoshida was ill last week and fully expected him to be back for Saturday.

stevy777_x Posted 2 May, 2019 Share Posted 2 May, 2019 Forster all by himself nearly relegated us last season. Making that goalkeeper change was one of the few things Pellegrino got right for us. He had serious flaws in his game, being unable to go down low to his left or right quickly save shots, unable to command his box properly and his poor goalkeeping led our defenders to panik I want him nowhere near our goalkeeper shirt.

He's a professional footballer who has played for England and played in the Champions League for Celtic, IIRC the guy has a clean sheet at the Nou Camp. He's also had some superb performances for us and earned us points on his own. You are making out like we are playing the kit man in goal or something. The guy at least deserves a chance to see if he is not completely shot of confidence. I am sure if Ralph is considering playing him then he has seen enough to warrant that and I trust his judgement.

alehouseboys Posted 3 May, 2019 Share Posted 3 May, 2019 There's the possibility that the regular starters will feel it's already job done with heads on-the-beach already, probably best to let a few hungry to impress fringe players have a pop and show Ralph they can be part of his plans.

Dusic Posted 3 May, 2019 Share Posted 3 May, 2019 No brainer to give Forster some game time in the PL. How can you realistically expect to sell or loan out an £80k a week player who hasn't appeared for 18 months in any professional game despite apparently being available for selection? Answer: you can't. (Besides, wouldn't be hugely shocked if he is no2 keeper next year. McCarthy probably has a better sale value and we don't need both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 3 May, 2019 Share Posted 3 May, 2019 Wonder who the changes will be I'd like to see Gallagher given a start in one of the last 2 games.

Ralph knows he is unlikely to be able to shift Forster in the summer with the contract he is on, so he will use these couple of games to gauge whether he can be relied upon sufficiently to be No2 to Gunn next season. If he thinks he can, it would help Ralph as could potentially get some cash in from McCarthy that can be reinvested elsewhere without needing another keeper.
