Popular Post room0035 Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 Simple question are they both injured? Borner taken off at half time presumably incase he had pulled his calf Lees did not come instead Fox, who for me gets 2 minutes at the end, does want to be here, so should not have been included. We then take Rhodes off after 60 minutes on a booking and bring Da Cruz on who was awful, no runs, no crosses, loses the ball too easily and so light weight for his frame. Why did Reach not come on, would had give up something going forward, a goal threat but also better defensively. We then make the Odabajo substitution and another ref we could have lost two points with another clumsy challenge in the box. I would rather anyone instead of him. But positives 3 points is great, now 10 points off the bottom 3. Let's wait and see what happens with the EFL this week and hopefully get something from the West Brom game. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I think we should look to trade these two. Year left on contract. Lost their places. Both had their day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cos Borner’s calf has been surgically moved up to his thigh where the Physio was clearly bandaging it! 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Simple answer Lees is not a left centre back in a 3 any more than I am which is worrying for the next game Reach is stranger. Are we planning to sell him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tv had him running the top of his leg either way it's a leg injury why he has not come out for the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cowl Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 Da Cruz did quite well when he came on. Did you actually watch the game? 31 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I suspect Reach isn't 100% and is being nursed back to full fitness, or he is going to be going? He isnt a number 10 or forward though, so the thing about replacing Rhodes is a dog poo idea. Lees needs to play in centre of a back 3, cannot defend wide areas as he showed at luton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ReadingOwl Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 I like Reach. Could be a real asset in a confident team. Got a great engine. 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would he fit into this side now though? As a central midfielder he's just too slow and ineffective As a left winger to get down the wings and get the ball in he's not as fast as the newer players are 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bristol City player fell down under no contact. Da Cruz held the ball and carried it forward well. Didn’t he have a shot well saved late on too? Agreed re the two players though - they are first teamers and unless injured should surely be in the squad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I think most forward thinking teams would have sold them and reinvested the money probably a year ago. We will keep them, let their contracts run out and they will leave next summer. Of course the teams that would sell them would do so with the confidence that they have ready made replacement shortlists and not panic buy and waste the money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
