WalthamOwl Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I would like McManaman to be given the start, we need more creativity, perhaps McManaman will be the man to provide for Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Wallace is one of Carlos' most trusted players. When fit, he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Difficult one with Wallace, he is both a cause of, and solution to some of our problems imo. He often has a screamer in him, also takes a decent set piece, but he struggles to get past a defender and reach the by-line which often contributes to a lack of real creativity from open play. Also when we break forward, when ideally he should be getting into the box or arriving at the back post, he's too far behind the play, the same can be said of Bannan and others, we simply don't get the bodies into the box, when a cross goes in it's a case of find Rhodes, or it's out for a throw in on the other side. There'll be games that suit both ( Newcastle is the sort of game where Wallace is perfect ) but when we're looking to really attack teams at home, maybe the more direct, pacy style of Buckley/McManaman is the way to go.

Guest RocketOwl Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Would like to see Wallace played on left as he did brilliantly there against Bristol City at home He is our best crosser and if he's on his left he will be able to cross more as opposed to cutting in.

We saw the Buckley from Brighton at long last - not quite at that level but definitely on his way and he looked confident and dangerous. I wasn't wearing the same rose tinted spectacles as you was that's obvious. Do you have the stats to back up your claim? Would be interested in what it would show though I do accept it doesn't make for a clear cut point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you've accused me of being negative about other players to suit you, yet when I say someone has played well I have rose tinted glasses on Think most on here agree I don't praise players for the sake of it. Buckley clearly played well and from what I've read from other posters on the large everyone has agreed hence there is now a post discussing should Buckley start the best game - if he didn't play well do you think Owlstalk would be wanting him to start? Nah. Id watch the game back or stop nodding off mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't give a performance screaming at me to keep Wallace out of the side. That's what i thought... I'd have taken him off with 30 mins left to give matias a run out. Wallace everytime for me Works hard and chips in with vital goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainJoicey Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Neither to start............... If FF is fit, play him on the right and Reach on the left. Hutch and Bannan in middle. Rhodes + 1 of Winnall, Hooper, Matias, Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offalyowl Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think Buckley should get another game, he played well so why drop him now, what message would that send to the rest of our squad and also Wallace would know that no matter how he plays, be it good or bad, he still going to keep his place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Cue tin hat) Thought the Reading defence coped well with the threat of Buckley, and would have been happy to play against him all night. I promise to agree with you when you say something I agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They coped with him due to their keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
