Like him as a player but am getting more frustrated by the wk, and not at all convinced he is the answer on the left. please discuss
I think it's Knockaert turn to start and Dyer is used as an impact sub As a sub Dyer would be a fantastic player to have. But he is too inconsistent to start every week
I don't think that Knockaert has 90 minutes in him, this is the only reason i can see for him not starting.
If Nigel doesnt feel Knockaert is ready to start then I would move Marshall to the left, put Danny Drinkwater on the right and bring in Matty James into the midfield. Or even try Jeff Schlupp down the left
I think maybe a change in formation. In a 4-2-3-1 didnt Nugent score about 13 from the left for pompey? I think we need marshall behind the striker.
I'm guessing this as well - was knackered after an hour when he started against Burton. I want to see Fuctacs play - when he played against us he was brilliant at disrupting our defence (back when we had a decent defence) and would give him an hour or so to do that and bully the opposition defence before bringing on someone fast like Beckford to finish off the game.
The thing about Beckford. Nigel had 2 choices, 1 let him go to Huddersfield or option 2 utilise him. Now he is he Nigel has to use him. At half time yesterday we was 2-0 I was saying we need to gamble, Nigel didnt gamble enough. We have 3 strikers sitting on the bench and we are 2-0 down. Doesnt take a genius to work out you need to gamble and throw on more firepower
