Bluesteel Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Happened a few, one time chested the ball and did some bizarre dive in hope of getting a free kick. I'm not trying to have a go, he came in, ran for 90 mins and got a goal. He did well overall but the amount of times he falls to the ground rather easily frustrates me and many others. I noticed he won some good free kicks too though. There was also a great chest down and pass to a team mate in the second half that you would expect more from someone like rodri.

dorian gray Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Send Rodri and Bothroyd back then i'll pay rodney's fair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe P. Coltrane Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 We are building a squad capable of the championship. Jones is making tough decisions but one day fans will realise he's right as much as our caveman fans think they're right all the time. What drugs are you on mate ?

DJMortimer Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I would imagine that Jones wants to bring in a striker to improve our conversion rate, but with an already bloated squad Mandaric has told him we need to lose someone for the same period. After Maguire's injury, presumably Madine was the only option remaining that there was any interest in. Plus it somes with the potential bonus of a player who has been low on confidence getting some back before returning here. As for him starting last night, didn't Sky say that O'Grady had a slight foot problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 We can't play two up front because Barkley can't play in a 442 formation probably true, but he isn't our player and never will be. We're not here to facilitate Ross Barkley's development. If it's not working DJ should be looking to change it. If we don't play 2 CF's we don't have enough goal threat to win a game.

hazowl Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Gary madine goal machine, give him a run of games and he'll score for fun. 4-4-2 required though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 If he gets sent down do we still have to pay him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fedor Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Can I be boring and use some stats . We have got 15 points this season. 12 of those points were earnt when O Grady started games. The other 3 points were against Millwall. A game we were losing 2-1 until Madine was replaced by Chris O Grady. We have also dropped points againt Hull and Palace, games we were level in until Cog was replaced by Madine. It does seem we are a better team with COG in it.

Glaser Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Fraser Campbell ?? As a lone striker... Can't see it Neither can I see Jones changing his system in the next two games, Forest Away, Leicester at home.... We need a type of striker that there aren't many of... strong and powerful, yet a good finisher Or, we could sign Rodri, Pecnic and Mayor....

I know what you mean but you also have to take the league position and formation into account Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I still believe that given a run of games and better service, Gary Madine will score goals at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats league position got to do with anything Just that you're saying that O'Grady is the better striker yet we're right at the bottom of the league My theory being that if you played Madine instead all season we 'might' have scored more and been higher in the division Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaks6owl Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I think it might have been a made up story to give him a kick up the backside he looked sound last night needs to play to the whistle think he hesitated on his second chance against Bolton he feel for thinking he was offside thanks to the keeper a loan for him isn't so simple either with him being on bail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest waistline ye diddle Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Played well last night. Won everything in the air, brought the ball down whenever he could to link up with others. also up against woodgate who is a quality defender.

BRADDAZ Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 If DJ wants to change it to 4-4-2, why doesn't he just put Barkley either on the right wing or play him up top (just off) Madine and don't let him worry about the defensive side? Then play Semedo & Lines (if he's fit enough) as the midfield two, with JJ (or Mayor) & Antonio wide. (yes I realise that would mean Jay Bothroyd is dropped).
