Holmowl Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I’m probably clutching at straws here, but any news on these 4? I think all of us would have Fletcher, Fox and Luongo in every starting Xl, and many of us would add Reach to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Sometimes players become better players when they’re out of the side. That’s what’s happened with these 4. What would you do with the new loan players now? I’ve no idea what team he picks on Saturday but think he should go back to the 4-4-2 that was working alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Becoming reminiscent of Jos' predicament. Funny how these injuries pile up when our form is horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather start Fletcher or Wickham, Reach or Da Cruz, Luongo or Windass? I suppose a Luongo-Bannan-Windass midfield is possibly a decent shout.

Fox has been me consistent for us this season and his attacking threat has increased to boot. Luongo is a bit of an unknown but surely a box to box all round midfield player is a better option than our limited players of Bannan & Joey... he may not be better than those two in one area of his game but his all round game supersedes both by miles.

Personally I’d drop him and Da Cruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach gets some stick on here. All I was saying was we look even worse without them in the team. Windass and Da Cruz don’t look like the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks overweight and unfit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Think Luongo is doubtful, but Fox could be fit for Saturday. Don't recall Monk updating on Reach. Midfield is the problem, we've literally nothing in reserve to make a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Unless we deal with the center of midfield we are fiddling whilst Rome burns. Luongo is the best of what we need; but he's no way perfect. Bannan will probably play, but his position needs reviewing in context with the side and players' set up. He's actually part of the problem. Fletcher will calm things down, but again we can't just rely on this to stop the rot. Reach goes missing when the going gets tough and other than him jogging about a bit, i'm not particularly confident he's the answer. Fox is just an average player - again might stablise things but ain't going to make dramatic difference IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No probably not but we’ve more options for replacing Windass and Da Cruz. There’s Reach, Murphy, Harris and FF that can all play there. If he drops Wickham he’d need to bring back either Rhodes, Winnall or Nuhiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Reach's recent cameos from the bench onto the left flank has coincided with our best spell in games. I think we've missed him there. In fact I thought he'd be pushing for a start there before this injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Reach has been told he won't play for us again without a haircut. Luongo has been banished for serving dodgy shrimp on a mini barbecue at the training ground. Fox has been told he won't play unless he signs a new contract. Fletcher's head-desso injury is on the mend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
