NorfolkNChance Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 IF Bannan and Hutch don't play on our centre halves toes AND Reach and Boyd play wide and put some crosses in for Rhodes AND We don't hoof it up at FF's head Line up looks fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzuki_San Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The only change I’d make to that side is FF on the wing and Hoops up top. Good line up! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a great option from the bench to hold the ball up, relieve pressure and defend set pieces. I just dont see the point of him, he can't run, doesnt head the ball, doesnt score goals. If he is ever an option we are truly un-workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 2-1 to The Wednesday Rhodes and Hooper (off the bench) Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernOwl Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 5 minutes ago, Geosword said: I'm sure I heard Carlos saying in pre-season that Fernando would be playing on the left. Or are we going 4-5-1 with Rhodes playing the lone striker role that suits his game so well..? Yep but seeing Reach start there every pre season game kind of gave away that he wasn't actually going to do that. I understand why he does it with Reach offering greater solidity but I can't help but feel we lose more than we gain by sticking FF up front where he often fails to get involved.

Mike Hunt Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Some reyt fannies on here . 45 mins to kick off and the Carlos out brigade are in full flight . Edited August 5, 2017 by hugeowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Carlos would love nothing more than to have a fully fit Abdi to select. Unfortunately for him, since spending a large portion of last summer's transfer budget on him, Abdi hasn't yet found full fitness for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I have no objection to Reach playing left, played well in pre season, and seems to have been given licence to shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 If the Johan deal is dead and buried in shocked that both Hutch and Glen are playing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Just seems again like CC is trying to fit his favs in to the team. Why people like Winnall and Abdi aren't on the bench is beyond me (presuming they are fit) he seems to want to fit Reach and FF in anywhere. I love them both but I would prefer Hooper to partner Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're playing Hutchinson in there, then Jones would be the last partner I'd choose for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is ever an option we are truly un-workable. Defensively he's great in the air. When we are under pressure he is a great outlet as he holds it up better than anyone else in the squad. He should be seen as someone who can play a specialist role and help us see games out. If we need goals we have 2 other strikers we can bring on instead so it doesn't matter than he can't score as that's not what he's used for.

We'll agree to disagree then as I see none of those things. Lets hope we dont need him and we win comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I am not surprised by the team after our performance against Rangers Jones looked very slow and had a poor game . We also livened up second half when FF came on UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than anything he just give fouls away after losing out in aerial battles. That's it. If you think he's a good addition to the team fair enough but I think he's way below the standard of what is required to our squad, the fact he's still involved makes me worry about Carlos and his approach to this season more and more.

Please enlighten me how a 1-0 win wouldn't be a good result? Damn that Carlos bloke, trying to win as many points as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
