....... changes. I reckon we might see Mannone back in against West Ham, Pants looked shell shocked on Saturday. I can see Defoe on the bench until the 2nd half because we'll keep it as tight as possible and avoid conceding early on. I can't see the point of having both Coates & Vergini on the bench as Poyet did on Saturday. We desperately need some pace so Watmore could get a sub place and it's anyone's guess for a front man.
I'd love to see Vito back and on form. I won't lie I'm not in the "give Watmore a go" group. Simply because I've seen nowt other than that goal he scored at Altrincham and don't want to build my hopes up like I did with Moberg, Noble, Laing and co. If he gets on and does well... Great. I'd love to see the players who've been playing recently respond to new ideas and a will to win. I can't see the point of Coates being alive to be honest. Ok, that's harsh but I didn't rate him before he came and I rate him less now. I think there could be a hell of a player there in Vergini and would love that to show. Brown and O'Shea are done for me now.
I'd have Watmore on the bench to come on with Defoe if we're losing, or after a win, in the last 30 minutes. I don't like O'Shea & Brown but I can't see how we can ditch them. Cattermole & AJ would make an enormous difference to our team.
I'd be starting Vergini with Brown until the end of the season and then ship them when their contracts run out. Catts I'm looking forward to coming back. AJ I won't hold my breath and hope the assists/goals come from somewhere else.
Must have been watching another team to me like lads o'shea has been one of the best players all season imo!!
Disagree second goal yes but the first was Alvarez's fault for not tracking back and leaving PVA against 2
Its all about opinion, but he has cost us a lot of goals and is so slow he needs to be carried by his team mates imo.
Reminds me of when Cloughie wrote in a newspaper article about Hurley that it was a measure of a players ability when only his worst games get reported on.
Watmore is ready to go mate. Walking all over the Development league without effort will do nothing for further development. He wasn't loaned out because our coaches believe it was non beneficial as he was ready to play a part in the first team set up. All season he just been waiting for Gus to have the balls to play him but he never. He's at that point mate no question. Reckon he'll get a shot when Dick see's we have no pace.
Nope, just saying that some players perform at a steady level that their decent games go without comment but their errors are pounced on as being the level of their ability.
What's the point being steady for five games if in the sixth you're so **** you cost the team points? Personally I want consistency. At Centre back and in goal especially.
Mistakes happen but bad football is created, JOS did misjudge the long ball that let Agbon in for the second goal but the whole defence was all at sea through lost possession.
Or make goal line clearances, or last ditch tackles or some such. You don't like JOS, fine by me. But over the season he has been good, mistakes aside.
