With the possible return

Of several players in time for the Hull game, Big Davey Moyes may have a bit more choice in his selection.

Obviously they are all returning from injury, some long term, but Dave should have a few more alternatives available. Bout bloody time.

Seems like its only Borini (big miss) that it maybe to early for.

So with a much healthier looking squad (in terms of numbers available) what are the options?

 

Can't see much of a change from the team that beat Bournemouth mate.

You don't go looking for a win for 11 games and when you finally get one, change the team the next game.

Pienaar is obviously suspended, so he'll need replaced.

You'll have options off the bench, which is what you badly need.

 

Larsson. Catts. Kirchoff. O'Shea all about to make a squad return. Plus Mannone. But no way will he play.

Maybe Moyes may feel like a little tinkering.

 

If he tinkers and loses he'll get savaged.

I reckon Cattermole will be the option for Pienaar, the rest... maybe Larsson could come on for Watmore in the game, Kirchhoff for Anichebe/Defoe once you are winning to tighten up.

 

Kirchhoff for Pienaar for me and Catts later on.

 

Available, but none of them match fit/ready imo, except possibly larsson

Gooch for pienaar then Larsson later on.

 

I would keep the team as it was against Bournemouth, without the forces suspension of course.

 

Yea good shout

 

Why replace Pienaar? We did canny with 10 men.

 

I reckon one of the players who has suffered from our lack of heavies in midfield is Watmore. He has the speed, and now the improved passing ability, to hurt defences more than he already has. His play is coming on nicely despite him having to spend as much time defending as attacking.

 

Aye I've been really pleased with Watmore this season his stamina is excellent and he's becoming more intelligent on the ball each game.

 

Catts has been a massive loss IMO, even just for his leadership skills and enthusiasm, we need him back asap mate. We need some grit in the middle of the park and if we can get the Hoff back as well? even better.

 

They will help N, Dong, who seems a bit lightweight (or lazy) but unfortunately has talent.

 

Yeah talented players should be banned.

 

. I kinda ****ed up there. I will master this new ****ing phone within a year or two.

 

Always blames the phone.

 

If in doubt. Blame the phone.

 

Wonder if we have a couple of behind closed doors games over the international break to give the players back some match time???

 

He's improving but i agree, a bit lightweight, we need Catts to add a bit of bite as we've been ripped to shreds in the middle of there park from what i've seen so far. Rodwell doesn't offer much, if anything, Pienaar has a good passing range but offers nothing when it comes to defending when the other team has the ball.

Sadly, i don't think Catts will be back anytime soon and how long can we keep him and the Hoff fit?
