Bouncing Owl Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Once everyone is fit for selection, Jos is going to have a right headache trying to work out his first 11, bench and system to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an ould biscuit tin int' back of one of me kitchen cupboards somewhere Costy ; ya can keep 'em in there if ya want I think I might have found some extra terrestrial life forms in there the last time I cleaned it out ; so they should feel at home at least. People should pay a lot more attention to the health and wellbeing of their canned alien life these days than they are doing now. If the Royal Society for the Protection of Canned Aliens got off their butts and did something we would see a lot more happy canned aliens on our streets. FACT !!!!! As for the Forestieri debate , well ; I know nowt about football , (<--- panders to a request in anuvver fred from yesterday ) , but I think he would probably be better coming on as a sub. But Jos's payed a lot more than me to make these decisions so I'll leave it up to him. I can't be doing ALL the lazy little bugger's work can I ?? I'll have Costy's little alien buggers to be looking after soon. FFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough call on Pudil but the fact he was cramping up with 30 minutes to go was worrying yesterday. Forestieri from the bench each along with Joao v Leeds. Tiring defenders will hate to see them coming on for last 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I think Forestieri was dropped and on bench earlier this season was because club knew he had a ban coming up and we needed to have a settled team not based around him Honestly - I think he will not be a starter from now and until Jan and he will be sold off to make up the financial gap we have an issue in.

shezzas left peg Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Id be surprised if jos doesn't change things up a bit, seems as if he has to tinker a little. Fletcher has played two on the bounce, so he may decide to rest him again, so I wouldn't be surprised if Nuhiu comes in for him (plays well against Leeds normally). Though personally if we're going to stick to formation I'd like to see us try Reach lw, matias rw, Nuhiu up top and put Nando in that attacking midfield role behind him, gives him that space to exploit and he does have an engine to play there too. Would also allow those three to interchange and swap between themselves mixing things up could cause havoc to Leeds.

And with a six day rest I’d be amazed if Fletch doesn’t start, with Nuhiu as sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Forest game, both Reach and Matias looked vulnerable to making way for him. But after today you can't really drop anyone. Would you start him? If so, where does he play and who makes way? I'd go for starting him from the bench. Good performances need rewarding with starts. no. He's a cheeky monkey and we get better results without him. Quite why most people on Owlstalk are so keen to tug him off is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had an enforced prolonged spell without him, and we didn't do very well. Don't believe everything you read on OT.

You don’t think that the 17/18 season had anything to do with Hooper, Lees, Bannan, Westwood, Hunt, Fletcher, Loovens and Lee being injured?

You're right, a few important players were missing. Many of these had significant absences also during 15/16 and 17/18. FF didn't. For example Hooper made more appearances in 17/18 than 16/17. Any unbiased analysis would suggest that the absence of our TOP SCORER for our 2 play off seasons, would have likely been the biggest influence.

Bannan an equally massive player for us, You stats correctly show that Bannan still played in a significant amount of Championship games, whilst FF 10 can't be described as so. Bannan played right through till mid December. We lost FF August til the end of March. he came back and knocked 5 goals in 8 apps, unfortunately the damage had already been done. No other player was even as close, to seeing the same drop in attendances (and length of injury), that FF had.

All cogs in the machine. Be good to have them all back available and giving it the full gun in a solid,well balanced team unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 You can see which decision is easier for Jos - he's less likely to get pelters if we lose if Forestieri starts from the beginning. Doesn't mean he should though, would be harsh to drop Matias after a goal or Reach after a borderline man of the match game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s dropped Hutchinson, Forestieri and Westwood. Hardly popular decisions. Edited September 24, 2018 by Holmowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 In fairness though, FF has made it clear that he wants a move to L**ds so it might be tempting to start him as he would probably have the game of his life to get Bielsa'ams attention.
