s
Logan

[homer]

Too late to change formation that drastically against a top side

Henderson
Stearman
McAuley
Kisnorbo
Mattock
Newton
Hughes (Johnson if fit)
Weso
Caddy
Hume
Horsfield

 

[londonfox]

You're probably right Alex but I think Cadamateri will be in the 16.

hope so he looked quite lively last night

Ahhhh, shit pants, yes. He should be in...My mistakes.

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

4-4-2 has clearly not worked for us so IMO we may as well throw caution to the wind and really go for it my team would be :

Hendo

McAuley (Stearman if not fit)
Kisnorbo
Johansson

Newton
Weso
Johnson
Mattock

Hume

Horsfield
Fryatt

Subs

Stearman
Hughes
Porter
Cadamarteri
Hammond

Following the revelation that Johnson is unlikely to play for the club again then I would change Hughes for Jonno and add Yeates to the bench.

How any one wants Horsefield to start is beyond me, the bloke is useless.

On tues, he came on put in 10 minutes graft and then had to stand out on the right wing for 5 minutest to get his breath back!!

I agree that our current flowing football isn't best suited for Fryatt but at least he can make something out of nothing, which is all we've got going for us in the final third at the moment.

Maybe because he provided more in that ten minutes in the way of holding the ball, linking play and putting defenders under pressure (and winning free kicks) than Fryatt did for the 65 minutes that he was on the pitch

We need horsfield to start because he is the powerhouse at the front, he is our strongest forward by a mile in the physical term, i would like to see horse and fryatt or with hume and danny cad on the wings, a straight up attacking style of play, in the middle i would hasve weso and hughes

defence mattock, stearman, paddy K and McAu, strong centerbacks and young and pacey wingbacks,

I don't agree at all, but there you go.

1st Half Fryatt looked our only threat, that didn't change when Horsefield came on. I find it hard to see how he put more pressure on their defenders when all he can do is grab them and wrestle with them unless that is your idea of pressure. Most centre halves prefer a trial of strength to a bit of movement and skill.

Chasing the game and lumping balls up hopefully for the last 20 minutes is different to doing it all game, and even if we did Horsefield isn't fit enough to do it.

 

[Brown Nose]

Fryatt is the best instinctive finisher at the club (I know that's not exactly something to be proud of). He's our most likely player to score a goal. For this reason he has to play.

Hume drives me nuts with his stupidity in terms of his decision-making but I think he has to play too. He's mobile, eager and our top scorer by a mile.

Horsefield can only be an impact player. He has played well in games against his former clubs (WA and Brum) but has been awfully lumbering and disinterested in other games. He's too old/slow to start.

Cadamateri is a wide man who should also be considered an impact player for the last half hour of games.

Yeates and Hammond are not even worthy of consideration. The four others would have to have been decapitated for me to consider them for a place on the bench. I'd rather play Odihambo/Chambers.

All opinions, Dunc

For me Fryatt was simply muscled out of the game by a couple of very average defenders - although he was not helped by poor long ball kicking from the keeper and a struggling midfield.

If we wait until the last twenty against Preston I suspect the game will be well and truly over

We never get anything at Preston, we need to this Saturday. God I hate this...

I know Preston are in the top six. I know they are better than us. I know we never get anything there. I know we've not won for 10 games. I know we're generally playing utterly shite. I know we're conceeding a couple a game and can't score more than one. But . . .

I expect us to win on Saturday. Maybe it's cuckoo talk but I just can't believe that this can go on any longer. Sometime soon we're going to get a lucky penalty, an opposition player sent off, an o.g. for us, a lucky deflection or two, one of our players is going to score a cracking goal out of nowhere, etc, etc.

I love Brown Nose, fact. I have faith....
