Same back 4 as last week with Vaughn and Johnson in for catts and larson, same front two easy this management carry on lol
Mig Gardner O'Shea Bramble Rose Johnson Colback Larsson McLean Sess Fletcher Dont think there will be any changes to the team that has been playing in the league. However as previously discussed some players are on last chances with regards to form. Ready to move Gardner to midfield if/when Bardsley fit but doubt that will be for Saturday. Hopefully someone can fill the 'Catts' role without the stupid aggression.
Would personally like to see Meyler in for Cattermole in midfield, if not him Vaughan. Bring Johnson in for Larrson.
Think if you were to swap Meyler/Vaughan for Larsson that will be the team, for all the people who say Westy is a better keeper than Mig, he worried me a few times last night
I think as a "Stopper" Westwood and Mignolet are on a par - what Westwood does better is distribute the ball - he allows the team to keep the ball instead of hoofing it long - he's a better "Footballer" than Mignolet IMO
I would probably go like this: Mig Gardner O'Shea Bramble Rose Larsson Colback Meyler McLean Sess Fletcher I would have AJ as a sub and bring him on, he has only played 6 minutes since his injury, we don't want another Bruce situation where we end up with a player out for ages because he was bought back too soon. We want AJ fit for the rest of the season. Got to agree with others I would like Gardner back in midfield, he has been excellent so far this season and would give us more impetus going forward. He gives the ball away some times but at least its looking for a forward pass or run rather than going sideways or backwards all the time.
Westwoods distribution last night was dire!! As was his command of the area.. He seriously worried me on more than a couple of occasions..
westwoods was terrable last night, didn't open his mouth and was rooted to his line as one cross flashed by only 2 yards out. not in same class as the mig.
Watched Catts foul and to be honest it was reckless but, not worth a straight red definite yellow mind, looks like his reputation proceeded him.
