WimJunk Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 They both looked a bit tired tonight. Are the days of 3 games in a week behind them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debram Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Absolutely but they have done a fine job given that not much not much help has come from certain players and vaulks has often been on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(fitness depending with Ugbo and Bernard) Dawson Valentin Iorfa Iheikwe (bernard if fit) James Palmer Vaulks Bannan Windass Paterson Smith If Ugbo is fit he takes one of the front 2 positions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I just don’t think Palmer is good enough to play in that position on a regular basis Fair enough to step in every now and again if Vaulks needs a break, but they are a decent way apart in terms of ability in that position 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why James, he's been no where near the bench never mind the starting 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheffWed Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It’s no wonder they are tired, we really only Bannan, Vaulks and Palmer. Bannan and Vaulks are midfielders, with Palmer filling in, he’s not really a midfielder. Röhl clearly doesn’t see Momo as an option, he’s been chucked to the side and Hendrick is awful.

Fablon Dunlop Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Baz looks tired at the moment, Palmer isn't fully suited to that midfield role but does a job there and is fine as cover for injuries. How he gets on ahead of a fit Vaulks is anyone's guess. Not a slant at Palmer, love the guy but Vaulks is miles ahead as a midfielder. Special mention to Baz last night for that ball to Paterson. He hit it with the outside of his foot and the curve on that ball was absolute magic. Paterson got hold of it superbly and the two defenders were all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaulks looked better for the 'rest' when he came on - I think Famewo is a decent Centre Half - but he is very poor when crosses come in from our right - he switches off on the back post - I prefer him in the middle.

I can only assume the medical team feel he needed a bit of a rest? I do wish we'd strengthened that part of the squad in January, though...

Maybe just a case of keeping them as fresh as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Vaulks’ contract up at the end of the season? I assume that it is, as towards the end of the game he practised a few moves that he’ll be using when he moves into WWE in the summer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually swear I saw Vaulks, Paterson and Bailey all 'clothes-line' their opposites - was a proper 'Smackdown'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlBiSeeinThi Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I felt that with Musaba and less so Gassama being a bit headless with their positioning, dragged Bannan and Palmer out wide too often leaving an empty space/gulf in midfield for them to play into. That coupled with Windass being totally anonymous all half and not working back they had too much to do. I'd prefer Vaulks in mid as he's a bit more mobile and tenacious.

Which makes it even more criminal that we let Byers go so easily! Would have been a crucial part of the squad at this point of the season if he was still here.

Agree re Fawemo. He never looks comfortable to me at LB. Also he switched off again last night and let Sargeant give him the slip for the goal. Just like he did with Bamford against Leeds.

His positioning is just wrong when defending the back post, like you say it was the same versus Leeds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
