Team for Tonight

Stumpy Tim · Jan 31, 2012

What would your team for tonight be, assuming no one leaves or joins:

-----------------Brez----------------
Calderon-----Greer----Dunk-----El Abd
----------------Bridders--------------
------Buckley--Sparrow--JFC---------
---------Vokes-------CMS------------

Navarro for Sparrow if not fit. Harsh on Barnes to be fair, but we need Vokes for an away game as finally we've got someone who can hold the ball up.

Simster · Jan 31, 2012

There was another thread on this, and that was my team, except I'd have Harley in for JFC.

leigull · Jan 31, 2012

Can't see us starting two up top tonight.

Notters · Jan 31, 2012

Can't see Vokes starting, but I reckon he'll come on in the second half.

I don't think JFC will start, I think Saturday was too big for him, and tonight maybe the same ? In Gus we trust to manage this. I did note that JFC and Jake Robinson had a chat the other day about Brighton/Palace...

To think it was only a few years ago we had Knight & Robinson up front against Palace :lol:

Looks like it could be Joe Mattock at left back?

I'd be happey with that, although we have decent options at the moment so there could be any number of small tweeks to that side

Agreed. Absolute madness.

If I were to change JFC for anyone in that line up it would be for Navarro, to give us a bit more physicality in the middle

I do rate Harley, but he is DETERMINED to play as casually as he would be in a park kick about. Have you seen the build up to the goal vs. NUFC? His clearance is hilariously nonchalant.

I think he's the last player we need to start in a game where we HAVE to control midfield. He shirked out of about 3 50-50s on Saturday, including one where he was definitely the favourite to win it.

Agreed with others, HAS to be JFC or Navarro alongside Bridcutt, maybe both if Sparrow is out.

Word. This is a game which requires people getting stuck in, pushing that extra yard and generally harrying the opponent- JFC gives (much) more of that than our ginger friend.

deletebeepbeepbeep · Jan 31, 2012

Isn't SPARROW injured?

Marshy · Jan 31, 2012

Navs for Spaz will be the only change.

Was that the one in front of the West stand at the North end? Bloody woeful that was

As soon as he came on, we looked the better side on Saturday. Apart from one admittedly woeful incident, he kept the ball and used it well; and his set-piece delivery was spot on too which could be an asset if Vokes starts.

I'm not a huge fan of his, but can see what he offers.

What he doesn't offer is commitment, work rate and determination. Three attributes that are important tonight.

Yup down near the corner. Unbelievable.

All understood points, however I think in a game like this it's asking too much fo Bridcutt to be the ONLY ballwinner in midfield (remember the home game? we were swamped).

Both JFC and Navarro are better ballwinners.

Telford Seagull · Jan 31, 2012

Bit harsh on Barnes. I thought he's played really well lately IMO

I won't argue with that. But he offers decent passing and excellent dead ball skills, and I think his corners and free kick expertese could prove VERY handy tonight, especially with Sam Vokes in the team.
