Stockport (away)

[bocadillo]

Brighton will win the League Steven...don't forget I told you when May comes round

Larry May? Larry May is coming back?

 

[bocadillo]

I really wish that I could share the enthusiasm for this game. Stockport were all over us at home until they (albeit deservedly) lost a man. We are now going to their place with, I would guess, a right back playing left back and we're going to win - can't see it!

I really hope that I'm wrong.

That's absolute nonsense. They had one early chance - and put it over when it seemed easier to score. The game hadn't really settled into any pattern by the time thesending-off occurred.

 

[bocadillo]

i think we should stick with the same side that beat MK Dons but swap king for weso and play a suitable replacement for mattock, im not sure who though. the decision to let chambers go to donny seems to have backfired very quickly, we could've done with him to replace mattock.
i think we'll win 1-0.

We didn't let Chambers go to Donny. We had no say in the matter once he exercised the terms of his contract.

fair enough, i didn't know he had that clause in his contract, but you see what i'm saying. NP must think gilbert or o'neill are good enough to play there if we haven't got another left back in by now.

 

[Micky]

would it be ridiculous to consider either worley or n'gotty in a full back position? I thought n'gotty might do a job this season and he has played full back before now.

 

[dpjfox]

Need a left footer (is Hobbs?)

 

[highland fox]

I now think Gilbert will play Left Back and Hobbs Right Back

N'Gotty - Yes that would be ridiculous

Worley - Possibly a decent shout and most definitely not ridiculous

2 games into the season, people calling for changes to formation/personnel, why? we haven't lost and haven't conceded a goal.

I agree with you. A straight swap for O'Neill at left-back is the obvious and only change that we must make for tomorrow from last Saturday's team, surely?

He is a Right Back. :icon_conf

 

[Brauny Blue]

A win tomorrow could have a massive influence on our season.
The last few seasons have seen us under pressure right from the start and we havent responded to the ' catch up ' scenario.
A win here would allow for a later setback to be not too damaging.

 

[City Fan]

Just so long as we don't play Lathanial Rowe-Turner.........

 

[Brown Nose]

I'd expect the team to be the following:

Henderson

Kishishev Morrison Tunchev Gilbert

Gradel King Oakley Dyer

Howard Fryatt

Subs: Martin, Hobbs, Dickov, Wesolowski, Campbell

 

[Durham Fox]

Hendo

O'Neill
Tunchev
Morrision
Gilbert

Gradel
King
Oakley
Dyer

Howard
Fryatt

s
Martin
Dickov
Weso
Kish
Hobbs

I would think so.

 

[TommyK]

I think NP will play the following;

Henderson

Hobbs/Gilbert Morrison Tunchev Hobbs/Gilbert

Gradel King Oakley Dyer

Howard Fryatt

 

[Dour]

I think NP will play the following;

Henderson

Hobbs/Gilbert Morrison Tunchev Hobbs/Gilbert

Gradel King Oakley Dyer

Howard Fryatt

My bet too - although most likely Hobbs at RB.

 

[Miles Away]

This Gilbert to left back movement seems a bit daft to me as from what I've seen (albeit limited) he looks like he's barely got to grips with playing on the right side.

Now, the options are playing someone out of position or finding a left back somewhere in the club or on bradgate park.

 

[Tamworth Fox]

I'm excited

 

[DesertFox]

im concerned NP hasnt gone for a replacement

NP must think gilbert or o'neill are good enough to play there if we haven't got another left back in by now.

I can't imagine for one second that Pearson thinks our left back situation is good. But some may be forgetting - Mattock was injured only FOUR DAYS ago. Sadly, when we click our fingers, left backs don't always materialize out of thin air.

It's not as if Pearson wasn't trying to rectify the situation before Mattock's injury. We had Bruno Berner, a left back, on trial but he got injured. It's quite possible we're still in for him, in which case we're in the same situation that any club would be in having both their first choice left backs injured.
