Popular Post 1952Owl Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 DM has 2 drop Marv & play Reece James soon as. Understand slowly slowly with injury but.... soon as. It might wake up half hearted Marv who thinks 2 good crosses into the box in 90 mins is all he needs 2 keep his place. 7 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Southie_Owl Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 With our lack of centre halves I would be playing a back four of James McGuiness Ihiekwe Palmer. That should be good enough for league 1 and let’s us have another player in midfield rather than 3 centre backs 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 James was doing well before his injury so would be good to see him back in the team asap. If we’re playing 3-5-2 though there’s an equal argument for it to be as a centre back alongside McGuinness and Ihiekwe so that Iorfa gets dropped, rather then Johnson In a back four I’d definitely want to see James in ahead of Johnson though. If Famewo is back in full training this week then you’d expect that if he’s not back for the next league game on the 12th then he might by the 19th 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 From what I’ve seen would rather have him as wing back, seems to small to play in a 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post S72 Owl Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 Don’t get the hate for Johnson all the time. It was a slow start to the season but I think he’s playing decent now. His general play is good and links up with Bannan on the left quite well. Either way it will be good to have James back as a bit of competition for him. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I don’t have any problem with Johnson. He’s had some average games but overall I think he’s still a valuable player for us. That said I am very glad James is back as I think he’s class. For me James is more of an out and out left back whereas Johnson is a winger doing a job at wingback/ left back. Having the the flexibility to use 3 CBs with wingbacks or a flat back 4 is going to be very useful moving forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another of those examples of people not wanting to back down from the hill they've put themselves on and admit they were wrong, same with the Bannan detractors or the Palmer ones. That is all before looking at the fact that James has had his best games for Wednesday at LCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like DM, people dont hate either, some people dont think they are very good at their repective jobs thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Very good news. He was playing superbly. As for the Johnson remarks he’s been well worth his place this past month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeyswfc Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The only positions he can play are LWB and LB. Another hopeless choice at LCB so when he’s back fit I hope he isn’t chucked there. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
