Great thread as always @RTB I would like to see Adil given a start with Jobe or Ekwah making way for him. Gutted to be missing this one thanks to work, as always hoping for a fast start and a nice early goal or 2
Many thanks once again RTB with working away I’ve missed so many this season same goes for tonight hoping for a quick bright start maybe an early goal or to to settle the nerves hope the crowd aren’t to impatient and get right behind the lads I’ll plump for a 4-0 with 4 different scorers COME ON
Going to be a cold one. Hoping for some changes in the first 11 to freshen things up. Across all areas of the team. Need the big 3 to get some positive vibes going.
Get the crowd up and we win this, Huddersfield aren't going to make it pretty so a bit of patience might be required.HTL.
Like to see jobe drop in alongside Neil feel he’ll do the dirty work Ekwah won’t which could be needed against these, frees up the ten for pritch or ideally Adil too, not sure who goes up top fine with either Rusyn or mayenda, the rest pretty much picks itself, wouldn’t be against Seelt alongside Ballard but I’ll not start that debate
TRAIN NEWS - MILLWALL Just had this message from a mate, just in case it applies to anyone on here. "Just heard from a staff member at Grand Central that their services will almost certainly be cancelled on Saturday as they have a shortage of staff and in the unlikely event that they do operate the services will start from Hartlepool instead of Sunderland. The staff will be advised on Friday." I’ll post any updates I receive.
I’d like to see Ekwah or Jobe given a rest and Neil drop back into the 6 spot, with Jobe / Ekwah as 8 Ba start ahead of Roberts Adil in as no 10 I think I understand why TM is pushing Ekwah deeper to learn that role so we aren’t as reliant on Neil there, but it ain’t working short-term. Only 2 of Neil, Ekwah and Jobe should be starting in the 6 & 8 roles. We need to better utilise Adil, Pritch and Dack - and there’s only one spot for them.
I think we will win this one and hope we get 2 or 3 goals, we could do with a morale boost but these will set up defensively and try to make it hard to break them down. I would like to see Clarke use his overlapping full back more as this may create the space he is being denied at the moment with 3 defenders on him most times, he ignored a lot of Huggins overlaps at weekend and think if he uses him it may well create the spaces we need and stretch defenses across the pitch a bit more.
Teess mate I usually agree with your player assessments, but you have to remember the same argument could be made about Huggins and possibly others we have brought in, what cant be denied is that a fit and firing Cirkin is a real asset, not as good as some on here think maybe, but nevertheless he ticks all the boxes including imo real courage, as shown in the goals he has scored , he wont be playing this week so just lets wish the lad well and see how it goes,.
Yakity Yak seriously he and Pritch should be involved imo, maybe not together but certainly over the course of 90 minutes in tough games, they play in the same position but are very different players who add the on field leadership we often require.
I must say he looked a lot slimmer and fitter in the last game, maybe not up to full speed yet but he has composure, and the "look" of a fox in the box to me. No idea of how much he is paid mind, but I doubt it will be breaking the bank. Opinions eh, keep them flowing though as you add a certain spice to proceedings and thats what makes these forums interesting, between you and me I often find myself agreeing with most of the comments on here but also enjoy playing Devils Advocate at times.
