I don't think Burrell was even on the Bench for their last qualifier against Curacao. Heard he got an assist in their previous game a 1-1 with Trinidad but was left out for Curacao, which caused speculation he'd picked up an injury. If he did he looked well again Saturday if a bit tired.
Yep not in the squad as they failed to score in a must win game. Top work from Schteve. Frey warmed up a lot in the second half so I reckon the plan was to take him and Kone off but the way he was playing it was worth the risk. Tough week for the Stephan tombola ahead. Both Blackburn and Norwich going into our games with a day extra. If they could get all the mad selections out the way on Wednesday so I can see the first team at Norwich that would be appreciated.
Louis Boa Morte had the biggest arse in world football. He definitely wore the biggest shorts. They were f*cking enormous
Six (seven if you include Easter) mid-week games left out of the 30 games remaining and not quite as concentrated as the last month or so. Will hopefully relieve the tombola choices. Would like to see us settle our back-four choice, they always work better when nailed down. Doesn’t help the goalkeeper position with different characters in front; doesn’t help the back four worrying about the ‘keeper. JS needs to find his best choice there and stick with it. Hate all this fannying around at the back with goal kicks. Mix it up for goodness sake. Nothing more frustrating than being predictable. And if other teams are going to do it, then press fast and hard - it unsettles them immediately and they rush (just like we do because we are slow with too many touches). Great to see the win Saturday. Only caught last 20mins or so, thought Kolli looked good when on, should have looped the ball higher and their keeper would have had no chance. Glad Chair had a good game, seems to be improving game by game. Game stats were crazy! Well done JS and the boys. Still think there’s more good to come from this team.
