Nice one Shiney. Battle of the Jock managers looms mate. We just need to sort out an Uruguayan tonight first...........
Agree sparkey. My single braincell will only process one thing at a time. Need to get Brighton out of the way before worrying about Brizzle. There was something else, but I can't remember what it was. It might have been who we're playing tonight but I'm not sure.
Reckon he might slip Adomah or Bolasie in for the young lad Shiny? Not that he had a bad game at all, but if Albert is fit he's got to play surely........
I genuinely hope he keeps it the same. Albert hasn't been as effective recently and having Foster playing right wing instead of him made us a lot more solid as Foster can read play and helps out so much more when we're not in possession. Foster had a top game and doesn't deserve to be dropped imo. Especially as AA doesn't work off the ball well and has looked very jaded over the past few games, let him have a rest and keep the faith with the players that gave their all last night. Then again Del will do whatever he thinks is best.. COYR.
with foster being our utility man he can quite easily move over to the left wing and be just as effective and then we can bring Adomah in to right back, i know its an early post lads, but like previous threads it gives a chance for the fans to talk about the game and give a bit of banter leading up to the game
Shiney - just looked at your suggested Cardiff line up and you won't be far off. One who wont be in there is Gestede - he did his Hammy against the Hammers. That spot will probably be taken by Liam Lawrence who we've just taken off Pompey - the rest look to be about right dependent upon any injuries (or crap performances) by the lads tonight against the shirt-lifters.
After watching baadiff lose to the hammers I couldn't believe how poor they looked, I think another 3 points coming our way!
bristol, where did it all go wrong? a while back you had coppell and you were supposedly shoe ins for promotion! now i look at the table and see the likes of nottingham and bristol fighting relegation when not too long ago both were challenging for top 6 places.... not a dig i'd genuinly like to know! even awful teams like barnsley and peterborough are mid table!
Not that different over 6 games..... http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-championship/2011-2012/form-table/full
but if you compare earlier season form then it would be a bit different... anyway i'd like to know... is it lack of investment? poor management? like i said there are some pretty crap teams in this division doing well, likewise good teams doing badly, it seems a mystery to me..
I still wouldn't start him after that performance from the team. Everyone performed well and they all deserve to keep their places, albert hasn't actually had any dramatic effect on games in recent weeks. Against a weaker team then by all means bring Albert back in, against Cardiff his lack of tracking back will leave Macca/Carey hopelessly exposed and neither have the pace to compensate for it any more.
They've been a league one club punching above their weight for seasons, when they were in play offs it was off the form from the season before once that started to ware off they've been falling like a led balloon. SL has chucked millions and millions into it but they wont rise until they improve off the pitch IE stadium
