I'd go with UnaBomber's team. I'm not a big Pusic fan but he offers us a bit of width, and I don't see much point in keeping Cairney on the wing, he should be trying to dislodge the Koren/Evans partnership in CM.
agreed. TC only played last week due to Pusic injury. @ Forest i would start the same team that played so well @ Brighton. Best performance by far this season. Pusic gives the team better balance.
Think he may keep a winning team u know and Pusic on the bench along with Waghorn, McKenna, McShane & Gulacsi
"Hopefully I will be back in about two weeks. I was really happy to be in the team for the two games that I played." Pusic only said that yesterday, so he's not in contention for this weekend, in fact, by the time he is available, a certain Mr Stewart is also expected to be available.
he also has a sweet left peg and works hard. after the cardiff and brighton games he deserves another chance.
I would stick with Cairney even if Pusic is fit. Cairney played well on Saturday and was involved in two of our goals, he retained possession and linked well particularly with Koren. He may not have stuck to the touchline but that was possibly how the manager expected him to play. In any event I am not a fan of having two players on the touchline particularly when you have two strikers. It leaves a lot of space for the two central midfield players to cover which the opposition can exploit. Cairney lost his place through injury and now regained it through injury Pusic will have to wait.
well i think that you shall have to get used to the idea of 2 wingers once cammy stewart is fit ? brady and stewart rampaging down both flanks. i can hardly wait and neither can thousands more tigers fans as well as NP.
Cameron Stewart was most effective for us when he played off the striker (Simpson) when fit I would like to see him resume that role so perhaps I may not have to get used to playing two wingers. While I look forward to seeing Stewart back I think we are at least a month away before he starts a game particularly given our current form.
with 2 wingers stretching out the other teams back line that will alow Robbie Koren more time and space to work his magic.
Do you know what interests me about this. A few weeks ago we said we didnt have a midfield of any sort. Now we are putting forward which player should replace whom. It interesting because with Pusic having made a good contribution against Cardiff, Watford and Brighton and Cairney now starting to look interested, we now are functioning as a good midfield unit. Not to mention Kored playing in his best position.
Thats right. We were worrying over combinations and balance, but suddenly we have that and it's what is making the team tick. I think Pusic straight back in when he is ready as I am not sure if NP will start with Cam Stew when he is available, maybe off the bench for first game?
