Belfast Owl 2 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He's proved me wrong. I thought he was genuinely awful last season and his crossing was shocking. But now he is pinging in crosses like that and is showing what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the first thing that Carlos is going to be telling his players. You would like to think it would be go out and win. But with it being a derby and at home you would imagine it would be what ever happens we don't lose. I personally think this was the game almost earmarked for Hutchinson to return in. And I am expected to hear in the press conference at the end of the week that he is ready to go. Think Hutchinson and Jones in middle will allow Reach and Bannan to be on the left hand side for this game. While being more cautious in the middle and still allowing us probably our best attacking outlet of reach down the left. Because as I said it's not the end of the world if you don't win the game, but it will be if he loses it so to speak.

I prefer to think we are better than them so i'd be looking to beat them with what I think is our best side .....like I said i'd be disappointed if he picked a negative way of playing ala hudders in the play offs and we all know how that turned out .....you have to put aside who we are playing as it's just 3 points and not the end of the world if we did get beat but to miss out on promotion or the play offs by 2 points having played to not get beat would be .

We just need to play positive football from the off. Utd will be in our faces from the kick off and well up for it. They get an early goal and it will be a tough afternoon for us. Just get at them. High tempo and keep it going and use the bench smartly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you. But I ain't sure Carlos will. Don't think he will put aside who we are playing and if Hutchinson is fit then I am expecting him to start.

Dutch McLovin Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 On 16/09/2017 at 16:12, fpowl said: Really? He offered nothing going forward and for me weakened our attack play and he was suspect at the back. apart from fitness and not getting injured. The fact he could play in a number of positions ( but everyone of those positions we had better options ) and he was younger in an ageing squad ( but never played with that hunger no fear like younger players do) I genuinely can't see what he brought. he weakend our starting lineup for me last year. but to be positive he's like a different player this year. He had a great pre-season and has brought it into the season. really turning into one of those first names on the team sheets this year. He's adding quality to his game and now looks to have a great future ahead Im his defence mind. Our tactics made most our players look poor last season.

Top, top pro and delighted for him that he's proved the doubters wrong. Like others have said, folk with half a brain could see there was a player in there. You're wrong mate. So wrong. How was he 'not given a chance'... He played practically every game last season and was absolutely gash. I gave him every chance to impress and he was bobar. Anyone with half a brain could see this Congratulations to the lad for his start to the season. Pleased he's had 5 good games for us and is starting to make up for last season. Long may it continue.

oldishowl Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Don't think Hutch will be fit and should only be considered if he is 100% fit which I doubt I wouldn't change it even if he was . Two things I would like to see us do more this season is - reward good performances by players keeping their place - not risking players who are carrying knocks or at least doing it a lot less. We had 5or 6 in the Huddersfield second leg and it cost us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no need to rush him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
