Mr. Chow Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 jos will know the best for him. Dont get me wrong the guy is sound but its not enough to better us as a squad. It reminds of the time llera wasn't half as good, but everyone loved the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 who's the best bet to help us thru to the next round loovens, nielsson ,o'grady ....if he wants to see the youngsters against stiffer opposites than Carlisle then go with one of them and see how they fare against some decent quality like kermagant barrow ,aluko etc etc . ....i'd personally go for loovens but if he does want to test one of the rookies at a better level then the cup is the game do it in .

Ronnie Starling Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 He wasn't good enough last season and hasn't shown anything to suggest he is any better this season. Mistake after mistake from Loovens have cost us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think Jos will play a strong side and staying with a back 3 with Loovens in the middle with Pudil and Fred each side . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Good leader on and off the pitch, lets see what Jos wants to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Been a very good player for us over the years but he’s just making more and more silly mistakes now. That said I would rather him play in the cup than in the league. Would prefer us to give youth a chance.

Owl in Nottingham Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Good player. Had injury problems this year. Came back into a team with loads of injuries and was unfairly sent off. Give our players a chance. Still a great captain. Can't we support players rather than the eternal search for a scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t need a chance he’s 34 and been a good player in the past . He isnt a scapegoat , he just isn’t up to the task . It’s that simple . There doesn’t always have to be a big deal made out of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he has proved to be a good player for us (how many of our centre backs can boast the same number of clean sheets?) I see no rush to write him off. 34 is not old in today's game.

saywended Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 This is ideal opportunity to test Grady or Nielsen against a better quality of opposition. We will need as many players as possible up to speed in the championship ,to make sure we get away from any relegation threat . These two & Thorniley could prove to be the best business we do this transfer window. And might even save us money in transfers come the summer.

shezzas left peg Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Two Silly inexperienced mistakes from an old pro and captain that should know better and could have cost us in the Derby going down to 10 men for half an hour. The young lads have come in, we've kept clean sheets, they havnt put a foot wrong looking more composed on the ball too. For me after Carlos we need to show if you come in you do an effective job and play well no matter who it is you carry on until either rested or dropped due to form, so for me O.'Grady and Nielson are ahead of him n the last couple of games, so should come back in.

Goose Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Could his loss of pace (and there also timing) be due to the lack of fitness in the squad from the previous regime? I think he's done enough previously to be given time to prove himself (again) with improved fitness. Edit. He needs to earn his place back first Edited January 23, 2018 by Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Is it just me who rather leave it back three as it was last friday against Colins lot. ? Why should young Thorniley lose his place after such a solid debut ? Let Loovens sit on the bench.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly what Jos did with Thorniley against Colins lot . I thought he had a solid game up against Zahore , one of the better championship wingers.

Leader in the dressing room is his primary role for the remainder of this season IMO. We are not playing to his strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not really needed - bench at best Venancio has been a good addition and with Lees back in training and Pudil playing well it’s hard to see where Loovens fits in. He has been great but the legs have gone and what little pace he had has left town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
