Sorry mate, Richardson again was very poor, we know he is played out of position but that is no excuse for his woeful passing, just read a report from MON thinks brown may have done knee ligaments and could be out for weeks, do we need another C/B with injuries to Brown, Kilganon and Bramble
How confident are you lot of keeping a clean sheet against Norwich? Torn between having Mignolet and Vorm as my first choice keeper for fantasy league this week.
I'd drop Mignolet personally for the next game - dropped a couple of crosses at the weekend and Norwich's focus is on the big lads in the box and putting the ball in there - Westwood commands his area, catches and punches much better than Mignolet so he'd start for me - although I'm not Martin O'Neill!! ------------------- Westwood ------------------- Bardsley ------ O'Shea ----- Turner ---- Richardson Larsson ----- Gardner ------- Colback ---- McClean ------------------- Sessegnon ------------------- --------------------- Wickham ------------------- That's the team I THINK we'll play - Ricco was poor at the weekend but was excellent against Swansea! Wickham struggled but doesn't look match fit - he needs game time and a half for him and half for Campbell will be good for both of them (I think Campbell is still too early to throw straight into a match!) I think Cattermole will miss the midweek game due to his injury and Vaughan the same - I think we looked better on Sunday with Colback in the middle next to Gardner and, if Gardner plays, then he is obviously seeing out at least the rest of the season!! If Catts is fit I'd stick him in with Gardner - shows how different opinions can be as I thought our Centre Mids both struggled against Boro and that we needed that little extra that Cattermole gives us...
I agree for me he was the best player on the parlk worked his socks off and even if Vaughan was fit he would be ahead of him.
If Catts and WIckham fit: Bardo, Oshea, Turner, Colback Larsson, Gardner, Catts, McClean Sess Wickham otherwise Ricco at LB, COlback in the middle and Ji upfront (unless we sign Davies). Dont think Campbell should play a full game yet.
-----------------mig--------------------- bardo-----oshea---turner------rico seb-------catts----gardner-----mcclean ---------------sess--------------- ---------------connor------------ wouldnt mind colback in the middle of the park tbh or meyler for catts if he's injured
Will Comnnor be fit. He took a heavy knock after about 15mins yesterday and was limping for the rest of the half.
I never noticed that Washy - hope he is fit - Boro played quite a hard tackling game - took sessegnon out about 6 times (including once in a very naughty challenge) Along with injuring Vaughan for a couple of weeks with a bad challenge as well - potential leg breaker!
I`m no doctor but how do you shag your knee when you fall onto your shoulder??? Maybe these new fangled premiership athletes all have inter-connecting bionic bits and pieces - they should get match fit by a few pints and 20 ***s and a half time pie - much less injuries that way
Its catts is not fit bring Meyler in, if Vaughan is not fit bring Gardner in. Up front you have got to start with JI is Bendter and Wickham are out and bring Campbell on in the 2nd half if we need him. At the back turner for Brown Migg Bardo Turner Brown Ricco Larsson Meyler Gardener McClean Sess Ji
