BLUMAX Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've never understood the logic of bringing on subs with 2 mins left. I'm sure they do it just cos it's what other teams do. Doing it at Sunday league just so they have to pay their subs is one thing but at pro level? The idea is to waste time when you are well in front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_ragg1984 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Does anyone know what Lee and Stephens are like in training? Maybe they are really lazy and shez doesnt think they deserve a place in the 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know what Lee and Stephens are like in training? Maybe they are really lazy and shez doesnt think they deserve a place in the 16. It's like I said right at the start of this thread - it would be good to hear what the coaching team think - if Lee was still suffering the after effects of flu for example, then it would help to know that - just being a nosy fan Edited January 25, 2009 by TheBigDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkenyonqfc2 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Does anyone know what Lee and Stephens are like in training? Maybe they are really lazy and shez doesnt think they deserve a place in the 16. obviously none of us can know for sure but to be honest i can,t see lee being lazy in training,because of where he came from,you don,t turn pro at man u if you can,t be arsed training .if shez doesn,t want to use him yet thats fair enough but as theres no ressies he should send him out for a short loan spell to get some games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penrhyn Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Another key factor in all this is we have been luckier with injuries this season so far (touch wood). Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chaplain Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Does anyone know what Lee and Stephens are like in training? Maybe they are really lazy and shez doesnt think they deserve a place in the 16. Lee and Stephens both played 90 minutes in the recent Reserves matches against Walsall and Blackburn. We didn't score in the defeat by Blackburn, but Stephens scored both goals in our 2-0 victory against Walsall Res. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Very good point this, if we had had Lee last season he would probably have made about 30 appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Very good point this, if we had had Lee last season he would probably have made about 30 appearances. I'm going to wager that he (Lee)hasn't recovered enough from his flu & therefore was too big of a risk fitness wise to throw him into a game as big as Stockport (local derby & convincing win needed) Thought he did well vs Crewe, and played alright vs Orient, i think he'd have kpt his place had he not got ill. he'll have to wait in line now again, just like Maher is having to do too. as for Stephens, he was always one for the future, it wa said when he signed - didn't for onw minute think he'd be featuring this season unless we had the smae horrible luck with injuries.

BlueJazzer Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The idea is to waste time when you are well in front If were well in front why the hell do we need to waste time? And dont the refs add 30 seconds per substitution? Or has that rule gone now? If they do then surely we are wasting about 5 or 10 seconds? Be better off running into the corner with it or hoofing it into the car park?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nava Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have liked what little i have seen of him so far but he is probably a victim of his own versatility. From what i have seen of him i think he would make a decent full back. he looks a little lightweight to me to play in midfeild on a regular basis, but does look comfy on the ball. I wouldnt be suprised once shez find his best posistion he will start to show us how good he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
