I loved McKechnie as did pretty much every fan in those days, but you've got a very rosy view of history to put him in that list of good keepers. Watch some old footage of goals against us, he was not a strong keeper and very rarely was he the better of the two goalkeepers on the pitch whoever we played. Great bloke though.
I know this is heresy and I'm sure being burnt at the stake is going to sting, but I think Honeyman might be at risk of being swapped out for Allahyar. I don't think the present formation suits him as much, and he's been mostly below par since the new manager came in. Nothing wrong with his effort yesterday, but the game largely passed him by and when he did get the ball he generally wasted it. OK, I'll go and get some firelighters.
Good shout, even if Cartwright is good enough for the step up, who goes on the bench? I hope Matt & Nathan are back soon fit and well.
I think a few players could do with a rest, just because of fixture congestion. Fleming was rested against QPR despite being one of the best players in the games since he came into the team. George has a shoulder injury that is causing him a lot of discomfort. I think Longman could do with a rest.
This hatred does you no good roberto SSB instigated the training complex and the Allams made it happen Now we get the benefits Pray for those trampoliners tho
Not sure of the relevance of a box to box midfielder, since that's not what Honeyman is nor the role that he plays. He was previously a very advanced 10, at times almost a second striker. Now we're playing 4-2-3-1 and he's a more conventional 10. The manager will know more about Allahyar's capabilities than me, but he's looked hard working and good on the ball in his brief cameos so far so he might work in that role. Given that Arveladze favours 4-2-3-1 and they've clearly brought in Forss as the lone striker, I wonder if he wants Allahyar stuck out on the wing.
the only thing funnier is West Brom taking him on and letting them bring in Junior as their coach - what's he going to tell them, if the ball comes anywhere near you, hoof it
Me too, he was a good kicker of the ball, started as a winger at Arsenal, but then turned to keeper early on.
Harvey looks really promising, he's a big lad at 19 being 6'4", commands his area well. I wouldn't be opposed to playing him Tuesday.
Agree totally JEX.... the other lads have stepped up and with the defence looking solid against better teams than Barnsley or Peterborough, they should give him all the protection he needs... maybe the concern should be the back up for him in the very short term...
5th to 11th since he went there. Bet Steve can’t wait for the next international break. Nice holiday to Barbados, Portugal or Dubai.
I think they have to bring in an emergency loan, but whether he plays or is on the bench, I guess will be up to debate.
