If he does will it be in Central Defence or Central Mid-field? Who drops out and what will the line-up be?
Think he will come off the bench for titus at some point, looked half decent in the highlights against everton res on safc.tv
Big step up from U21s but we only have him on loan. We need to know if he can succeed in the EPL and take our option in the summer of signing him. Get him playing. Must be good for us at set pieces both attacking & defending.
They reckon he's got pace for a cb. we're crying out for pace at the back. O'shea is must for organisation but if he went any slower he'd grow roots. If Mangane becomes tired then we've got the usual slow liabilities waiting on the bench (cc & tb). give him a shot, won't get match fit without games.
Could be an interesting partner for JOS, who is good and organising but none too quick. Even Nyron was half decent with Johnny Evans telling him where to run! OK, maybe that's a step too far but you get the similarity!
Bramble has, IMO, cost us points in 2 of the last 3 games. Reading with that stupid free kick he gave away and Saturday with that idiotic back pass when a foot from the touchline. Too much IMO. Start jos and Mangane in CD and go from there. Bardo rb as he will hopefully be fit. If Catts is fit him and Alfie in cm
Is Rose fit? If so: Migg Gardner JOS Mangane Rose Larsson Catts Alfie Sess Graham Fletch I don't think for a minute MON will drop Johnson but the above is currently our strongest 11 and our best chance at 3 points.
John Oshea gets picked because he was carried to a load of medals at Man Utd, he's garbage. Yes Titus under hit back pass was woeful but have a look at the goal again and what Oshea did. Oshea has cost us umpteem goals this year. Ideally for me wed have a need right back two new centre halves and Danny Rose at left back next season.
What exactly did O'Shea do? Pass the ball too close to the byline which made Bramble turn around and massively underhit the backpass instead of putting it into row Z? - sorry parker but in no way can O'Shea carry any blame for the WBA second goal - All Bramble's fault as was the second Reading scored. I don't remember many that O'Shea has been responsible for other than not being quick enough - he isn't a pacy defender but his positioning and reading of the game is better than any of our other central defenders. Bramble and Kilgallon have looked so awful when playing without O'Shea - yet both look better players when he is there - not a coincidence - I think he's been good for us this season personally and can;t see how you can place any blame on O'Shea for Either of the goals last weekend
mate if you'd watched the lads this season you'd know that when jos has not played they defence has been embarrassing. he babysits our other cbs.
I think you need to look at west broms second goal again mate. Oshea goes way too tight on lukaku, gets turned too easily and then dives in about 5 foot away from lukaku, oshea never touches or gets near the ball
