Even if JJ can only give us an hour, he'll rip Taylor a new one. Sadly it seems JJ will have to keep us up on his own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaser Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I know you aren't serious, but, if someone was calling for his inclusion, then they need to remember that mr untouchable / undroppable will never be on the bench, so it isn't going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Staple Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 It's safe to say that we have to do something different, whether it be Franny, Modest or whatever. Franny, you would hope is trying to put himself in the shop window for next season and therefore has something extra to play for. This however could be offset by the fact that he wont want to get injured.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 As much as i hate to say it and i don't think there will be ANY CHANGES i think that AI has decided that the 11 that he normally picks will prob finish the season with a possible start for Clarke so make that 12 players the rest will just have to make do with a 10 minute appearance if that. It's unbelivable to think we could go down without a fight or using the squad and giving SOMEONE a flipping chance and you just never know.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Like Irvine said when he came though..... you can't change a winning side It's a huge worry we are not scoring, drawing games, or winning, we are losing...so what are we gonna do? The current players have had the shirts for how long now? and proved nothing so do we just say hey "never mind giving 50% but carry on" or do we say "that's not good enough" and change SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!!!

When you look at the league table and their's not too many points in it. How big a risks do we expect AI to take and risk losing? As it stands, picking up 1 points here and there could be just as affective as "going for it". AI probably thinks that we can't afford to lose any of the last 3 and therefore is likely to pick the team accordingly. I hope he does try something a little new, but at this stage .......... one point is better than nowt especially if those around us aren't winning either.

As they say points can kill you and we need more than that, i understand what you are saying and in a way i can agree but i think that we need more, it only takes Palace, Watford, Sflaphorpe, to win one weekend and we lose and we have blown it, can we really afford to keep trying for a point knowing the others could just pull it out the bag? If you are losing 1-0 with 15 minutes left surely in the position we are in and the above statement, it's better just to think right 'Defender off Striker on' and and let's have a go? instead of Striker for Striker? the point i am getting off we could just lose 1-0, lose 2-0 or get a draw, if you are gonna lose you might as well lose fighting. We can't let this season finish, we get relegated and then everyone is saying 'did we do enough', 'could we have done more' i belive that the answer to them would be a MASSIVE YES!!

Maple Staple Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) pardon ? What's the difference ? Take no risk.... yet lose or possibly get a point Take risks..... and lose ? ? As you know, when we go a goal behind, especially when the strikers aren't really scoring ............... most or all the confidence drains out of the team. If we play an open style, teams are more likely to score against us that using a tighter formation. My point is. Palace lose their next two and draw against us, while we draw our last 3 means that we stay up. Sure, wins are great, but NOT LOSING is of most importance as we need point by however means possible, We're playing catch up. I take it you don't remember the 3-0 at home to Forest that sent us down. We went for it then I believe.

Don't get me wrong, Irvine has done a really good job. I still think he can save us, but, if we do go down, will he have done enough in the matches where we "should have won" ? Is it fair for him to be devoid of all criticism in said matches ? i.e. Derby, Bristol, QPR, M'boro, Coventry, Ipswich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his tactics are broadly right given our squad. Keep it tight and work out some opportunities. The reason we are where we are is that all of our forwards can't hit a barn door.

victorturner Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 He should definitely be playing. If he's on the bench, it suggests there's no reason, not like a feud with the other players or him being uninterested. At least he would hang around near their box. Current strikers seem scared to be there! Would like to see Gray play a bit part and also Varney to replace Tudgay in central striking role, with Tudgay playing behind the front two replacing Soares and JJ on right wing. Midfield would be Tudgay, Macca, O Connor, Gray If McAllister can be fit, he should play too, replacing Potter who along with Clarke adds nothing.
