OTF 6368 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Given Ameobi left the field with a hamstring injury it's unlikely that he will play against Fulham on Saturday. Who do you think Chris will replace him with? Will he revert to playing Nolan in behind Carroll and bring Guthrie into central midfield with Routledge onto the right for the suspended Barton? Lovenkrands hasn't had much of an impact when used, though he could do ok against Fulham. Ranger is the obvious choice I guess, but I wonder about his decision making in games (as well as his footing/footwear!). Xisco's a bloody long shot, though I wouldn't mind seeing him out there oddly enough (not sure whether it's just for novelty value ). I also wonder whether Hughton will get Steven Taylor involved in this game. It could be a risky move breaking up what has been a pretty good defensive unit, but 3 games in 7 days is a lot and between Colo and Williamson there could be some tired legs. If I rested one it would be Williamson. Losing another home game would be devestating, and it's obviously important that we pick ourselves straight back up from the disappointing result, so this match is of large importance. After this we're away to a decent Bolton side then hosting Champions and league leaders Chelsea before an away match at West Brom, then home against Liverpool. It's a pretty tough run of games that could well yield very few points particularly if we don't get back to playing at or near our best on the weekend. Before we know it we could be just outside the relegation zone... Edited November 15, 2010 by OzToonFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2934 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 One for contrary tree to bookmark. We're going to get butt fucked. Our recent record against Fulham is 2 wins, 4 losses and like us their supporters have a feeling of dread this season so they will be up for it. Fuckwit Sam has shown the league how to play against us and I have no confidence in us playing to a plan B. Hangeland will be another tough test for Carroll, Nolan and Shola have to be doubtful, Tiote will be walking a tight rope so not to get another card and is Barton's ban immediate? That could mean three changes before the team has to account for tired legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 31 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I reckon he may go with the above as well. I also think we might bounce back a bit for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4003 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Krul Simpson Colo Williamson Enrique Routledge Guthrie Tiote Jonas Nolan Carroll Seems like the obvious choice however following the use of 442 he may just leave nolan in the middle, routledge for Barton and leave ranger upfront. Routledge is looking lost in this league and Rangers not ready. He could vukic to play in Bartons role and play smith upfront with Carol !!!!!

JawD 31 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Im not sure Ranger is ready like, equally I know Best is back from injury so Id hope he's not tempted there. Not sure why Lovenkrands has been pushed back but he'd be another option. I think though he'd stick with the tried and tested option of pushing Nolan up. I'd like to see Guthrie have a run in the centre as well. I like Routledge it's just a shame his final ball is lacking and doesnt have the penetration Jonas "can" have.

I don't see a better option up top than Carroll and Nolan if Shola is injured. Guthrie is one of the best long passers we have which we may need for freekicks etc. Vuckic could be an option on the right but I reckon we'll see Routledge.

Guest alex Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'd be quite happy with that team like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Not too concerned about Duff even with Routledge and Simpson having little or no game time together. Their big threats are Murphy and Dempsey and i think Tiote should be able to nullify the creativity from Murphy. We're going to miss Barton. I fancy Nolan to score though.

Kid Dynamite 6090 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ranger is worth a shot imo. Probably the fastest striker on the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4003 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Am I just missing it again or is Ranger crap (at the moment youth etc). Surely they can get something out of Best xisco (is he still here). I would even have a bash with smith playing off Carol. He's scored quite a few in his day so should know what to do.

sammynb 2934 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ranger is worth a shot imo. Probably the fastest striker on the books. Agreed and the experience of first team games will help him far more than playing in the stiffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And btw I am clutching at straws re Best xisco or Smith (Smith has put away a few canny goals in his day tho when playing upfront). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
