Wont Kusunga have another year left?

 

Or do you mean cash bids coming in for him?

i mean, he could move on to better things on a free at the end of the season,

Can't see us getting McCleann unless he's a crock these days and other teams pass on him.

just what we need , someone who cant play, might as well sign Pele,

I've heard his name mentioned (from a mate of an ex backroom staff member). Half the championship want him so I wouldn't hold out much hope but I reckon thats who it is.

is that the mclean who,s got a chippy in royton ?

I think its a fait assumption that both he & Wes will be on very good money for our club.

Guess LJ has to assess whether he thinks they're worth it first, then see if they are both interested in re-signing for us.

I actually think both could move on.

and kasunga,

how anyone can pick a side without Philly is beyond me

 

Oxley

Kusunga

Tarkowski

Grounds

Mellor

(clean sheet deserves to be same back 4)

 

Wes Rodgers Smith

 

Philly Petrasso

 

JCH / Rooney / Mcdonald

rodgers ? no chance at all of starting

 

Oxley

Mellor Grounds Tarkowski Kasunga

Dayton Wesolowski Smith Petrasso

Harkins

MacDonald

Bench: Rachubka - Lockwood - Brown - Worrall - Philliskirk - Clarke-Harris - Rooney

Not going to lie, I found it very hard to pick a team as we have quite a lot of options. Leaving Philliskirk and JCH is a hard option, but i think that MacDonald is our best striker and one of the players with a better footballing brain, I think he'd link up better with Harkins, being able to better read his game and get onto his flick ons, rather than Philliskirk and JCH who tended to move into the wrong positions on Saturday.

 

Would like to Worrall given a run out if he's available, see what the hype is about.

 

yes that sounds great , just leave the 3 top goalscorers on the bench, absolutely barmy, think again, walsall will love that

 

Don't know whether he's always knackered or just lazy.

 

I hope it's the former. Both can be worked on though.

doesn.t miss games though does he !!!

Dayton and Philli as the wide men for me. Petrasso poor on Sat. Charlie Mac for JCH

petrasso out ? not going to happen, we want him to come back don,t we ?

Wolves.

sheffield utd is my bet, they are desparate

Saw the Stoke scout again tonight at School. He was quite damning of Tarky : Maybe he isn't good as we all think...

or maybe the scouts :censored:e ?

 

on what basis??? People need to wake up, the Liverpool Rumour was bull:censored:. If a prem club came in your looking at £750k and if a championship club £500k plus. He is a defender, he hasnt scored 20 goals my xmas and or have 20 assits. People need to get real he is playing for a small club in League 1.

 

You have to put into consideration the financial position of our club which every other club will know. £500k is huge for us and everyone knows it.

 

If Tarky had left in the summer at the end of his contract, we offered him a deal so if he went elsewhere it would have gone to the tribunal, what would we have got for a 22 year old with 62 appearances??? £100k max

 

Everyone needs to be realistic!

his contract is not up in the summer, get your facts right ffs,

I know but I think the top 10 is a realistic aim for this season still the play offs are beyond us unless we do something utterly incredible. Best we shoot for the moon and miss rather than aim for the ground and hit.

our cant shoot and hit anything, we couldn.t get in the playoffs if we played 8 games more than eveybody else,

We missed out big time when we didn't sign him. Could tell he was quality at this level even when he was about 4st overweight with a beer belly!.

we were never in with a chance of signing him, he got 3 times more at coventry,

He was running the match today from the start until he was substituted! It was a refreshing change to watch a player who could see and carry out the pass, granted though that the other players need to get onto his wavelength. Do you really want to watch 11 Wes's out there taking no responsibility?

nobody was running that game, the verdict is out on harkins for a while yet, or is he a legend already ? like baxter

We played too deep in the first half and invited them to attack. Second half better when we played further up the pitch. Not one of JCH's best games although I thought he improved in the second half. If LJ trusted Rooney, he would have brought him on sooner. Impressed with Harkins - and we kept a clean sheet. Do think someone needs to do some work with our back five.

yes like get smith away from it, if he wants play behind our back four we should call him beckenbaur, if he plays 15 yds further up the pitch our back four would have someone to pass it to, instead he sits in making square and backwards passes that others can do,, thats why the centre m/.fielders don,t score often, they don,t get in the box often enough,

I thought after Morais had put in his fourth cross in the the first fifteen minutes Stevenage targeted Mellor as our weak link as other teams have done this season.At times it seemed Morais just had to draw Mellor towards him before taking it past him and delivering the cross.Fair play to Mellor in the second half,he wasn't being done as easily and as often.

or at all

their free kick techniques were worth the entrance fee, absolutely hilarious! what the feck was that one where they put a wall infront of ours?? hahahahahaha

graham taylor used to do it for watford many years ago to great effect, in fact they scored one against us at BP

Yes he's only 29 and doesn't look a day over 50

 

He looks ungainly at times but he's tough to get the ball off and as you rightly point out he's not a nateual athlete but like Baxter surround him with runners and he will be very effective. If I'm playing with a player like that my first thought would be find some space because if you are in the right position he will find you he's got good vision and technique. With the right players around him he will be effective

it would have been better to keep baxter than sign baxter "lite", :J said he could.nt find a place for baxter the goes and signs someone to play the same way as him, very strange

Sorry in advance to those who are looking down the table rather than up, but we have three massive ganes coming up which will decide whether we are in for a push at the top 6 come the end of the season.

 

We are only 12 points off 6th and we have everyone now fit and Worrall to come into the team, we should certainly be able to or aim get on that 'run' of 3-4 straight wins that are needed if we are to challenge

 

Next 3 games are

 

Walsall A

Port Vale A

Peterborough H

 

These 3 teams are all in and around the top 10

 

I KNOW it's easier said than done, but IMO we have enough to get 7/9 or 9/9 from these games, certainly Pboro aren't all that as results recently have proved.

 

Should /\ materialise then that puts us on 34/35 points still with a game in and against MK Dongs at home, and takes the 'pressure' off needing a result against Wolves the following Tuesday.

 

With Rotherham to then play at Home next month, it would really set it up for an interesting last couple of months.

 

This team has the abiility, we now need to show what we are made of and go get those wins.

 

LET'S BE POSITIVE!!

 

Blackpool have done it before from nowhere, and we aren't THAT far away.

 

COYB

i.ll have some of what your drinking, 11 goals in 11 home games should bring you back to sanity,

Lobbyist!

good in the dressing room,

----------------------Oxley---------------------

 

------Kusunga-----Tarky-----Grounds-----

 

-----------------Smith-----Wes----------------

 

-------------Philliskirk-----Harkins------------

 

Petrasso-------------------------------Dayton

 

------------------------JCH----------------------

 

Worrall would be in was he not recovering from an injury and if Petrasso's loan isn't renewed (I hope it is - he's growing quickly, having been our best player recently) we may well see Worrall our winger on the opposite side to Dayton. Same goes for MacDonald's non-inclusion.

 

3 in defence combats this supposed negative home line-up and those defenders I've chosen are well capable especially with Wes and Smith to protect them. We went all-out attack away at Stevenage which got us the result, that was with Mellor horribly out of position at CB during LJ's experimental start, too. We can do the same at home.

he,s never going to start with 3 at the back, he might change to it when we go behind {we always do {

The most difficult one of the season to pick this i'd say.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if there's another player in tomorrow aswell.

 

I can see him starting Lockwood at CB & moving Grounds to LB or even starting Lockwood at LB.

Then again, Mellor played well at Liverpool and arguably deserves to keep his place.

 

Brown or Kusunga at RB? Or Lockwood?

 

I think Smith & Wesolowski are certain to start in CM but I think he'll start Harkins, so maybe one up front with Harkins behind him? Clarke Harris or Philliskirk to start though? I don't see MacDonald starting but you never know.

 

Worrall right, Petrasso left? Or will Dayton start?

 

Oxley

 

Kusunga

Lockwood

Tarkowski

Grounds

 

Dayton

Smith

Wesolowski

Petrasso

 

Harkins

 

Clarke Harris

where,s the goals coming from ? doesn.t look much different to the brilliant footballing team that cant score that we have watched all season to me, i think worrall will figure

NEVER!

 

I think I have mentioned Sharp's boot lacing prowess with regard to Youngy on more than one occasion! Objectively speaking

what about, angus macoattup?

Be a good signing for any club this level if he keeps his nose clean and concentrates on his football.

has he been sniffing something ?

It must have to be really huge to actually count as a following. Safer to tie it round the ankle surely?

where can me synic get one of those ?
