He was magnificent yesterday and showed to me he should be starting regardless. We suddenly looked composed, assured and barely gave anything away. His pace is 100% required in that system. He's probably the best athlete at the club. Size, power and quick. Tbf, I think he's had a good season when fit and available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Strangely enough I've found the Championship suits him better than League One! I've no idea the rationale behind that but his performances always tend to be better in this league.

In saying that I was more than happy to see him start every game in the play offs. Very odd. Think he just sometimes has a wobble and it can completely throw him off his game. Frustrating really because everyone makes mistakes, it's just how you deal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything to support this supposed story about Bernard? It sounds like a nonsense twatter rumour to me. If he was going to take his ball home he’d hardly do it in the middle of pre-game warmup would he. Has Poveda also refused to play, or are we accepting that that one is a muscle injury….

1952Owl Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Poveda won't play again. Bernard won't play again. We have moved on...... Iorfa SHOULD play v WBA. Will Ihiekwe be fit? Bambo on standby then? Danny perseveres with Famewo???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching the warm up and looked ok to me but he kept looking across to the south stand at some shifty looking bloke who was on his mobile who excitingly gave him a thumbs up and he immediately pulled up lame.....so there could be some mileage in the rumour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would you start him and maybe who alongside? I am surprised Danny has left him out to start. Iorfa is deffo better than Famewo. Do they play one up front and pack the midfield? 4-5-1? Danny might play a back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_owl Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I like Iorfa as a RCB with a commander behind in the middle of a back 3. Weve got several defenders that are touch and go, Bernard is another. He’s not as commanding as Icky or Diaby but is better with the ball at his feet so could be the middle of a back 3. Saturday is going to be difficult, we can’t afford the kinds of mistakes we made against Norwich because I don’t think Albion will let a lead go easily. I think they will score and we will need to score 2 to win or get a point. DR has got options elsewhere on the pitch but that might be shaped by what he can do with the back line.

1952Owl Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 Andrew_Owl Yep think Danny might start with this team bud. Question is fitness of Ihekwei, but I think he won't make it? I'd like to see Pato come on and rattle WBA. I would have played him instead of Pol, but 65 mins I expect to see several subs come on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
