got nothing wrong with that. Blackpool sounded much the better team. I really don't think this guy should be playing first team football for us that's all.

Butt geremi and Barton have all looked average at best this season. Guthrie, smith and Nolan look decent at this level. They should be our first choice cms. A new winger or two wouldn't hurt. We don't really have any natural wide men other than jonas and he's out injured

I get the feeling that those three may be the remnants of the players who couldn't be arsed from last season. :D

Whether or not he's good enough is another matter (didn't see last night's game) but there's no way Butt couldn't be arsed last season. He never hid, unlike Nolan for example. I get the feeling Barton and Geremi are two players on big money who don't really want to be here and, consequently, couldn't really give a fuck, although with the latter he's probably finished anyway.

Nolan hasn't been playing CM though and has had other players doing all of the leg work for him, yet he still looks fucked after 60 minutes of every game. Yet Barton has been played out of position all season. I'd rather play Barton in the middle than Nolan any day of the week. Hughton just doesn't have the nouse or bottle to start with Guthrie and Barton and actually go at times.

To be fair who is he going to play on the wings with Barton and Guthrie in the middle? With Jonas out and Lua Lua still lacking games.

 

I agree Nolan looks better we he has this lot doing the running for him. So he can spare that bit of energy to harry a defender clearing the ball.

Lua Lua could quite easily play as he's still playing reserve football. And Ryan Taylor has been playing wide right most of this season, not ideal but least it would give us some balance.

That's what happens when you have only one recognised winger in your squad though isn't it (if you ignore Lua Lua and anyone else with little or no first team experience). Ryan Taylor will never be a winger as long as he has a hole in his arse before anyone mentions him btw.

Exactly. Poor team performance, as we should have had enough quality to beat Blackpool.

 

The coming weeks will be interesting to see how Hughton handles being forced to leave players out. I started a thread last week (I think it was) in which I stated he hadn't been really forced to make any decisions due to the team virtually picking itself. Things are different now with more senior players becoming available for too few places.

If Hughton can look past the seniority and start picking balanced sides it will be a help. He had Lovenkrands and Ranger available yesterday so he wasn't exactly forced to pick four central midfielders.

Yeah, I think that's they key, seniority shouldn't really come into it. Yes experience is useful but it's not the be all and end all. I'd sooner have an inexperienced specialist winger than a makeshift one.

imo our managers are guilty of picking players on reputation/seniority rather than form/potential, and also play people out of position to fit players in, to the detriment of the team. They all have their favourites and Nicky Butt seems to be one of them. He must suck a mean cock.

 

I do hope Hughton doesn't bottle it.

Completely agree and this has been the case for years now. It took a very long time for the likes of N'Zogbia and Milner to get to the point where they could be considered regulars and even then, whenever Duff came back from injury, N'Zogbia went back to the bench despite the former's lack of fitness or form. Milner meanwhile had the whole loan to Villa fiasco to deal with.

 

This season too, after Kruls fantastic performence in the first game we all knew there was absolutely no chance of him keeping his place if Harper was fit (I'm not saying he definately should have but the fact that it was so unlikely highlights the issue).

 

It must be quite demoralizing for younger players to see has-beens like Butt and Geremi who can barely run never mind play a good ball, who also earn between ten to twenty times their wage, constantly getting a game ahead of them.
