Will we see Vicente again this season?
- Thread starter Munkfish
- Start date
It's Gus's job to fix that. Dave and Orlandi need to believe in themselves, and not change their game when Vicente is on. I think we should pick our strongest team for this Saturday (Ulloa, that means you), and if we can secure our play-offs place, then prepare to rest a few on the 4th (some could still play for 45 minutes) ready for the semis - so I'd expect us to use Vicente somewhere - either as a trial to see if he's an option for the playoffs, or to rest others.
I agree entirely actually. But playing Vicente, Orlandi and Spanish Dave means dropping one of Hammond or Buckley and Gus won't do that away from home, in fact we're more likely to see Crofts come in for a midfield three of Crofts, Hammond and Bridcutt.
Don't get me wrong though, I'd rather we batter Leeds and sit back and chill for Wolves.

I don't think that Vicente and Spanish Dave can play together as they do too similar a role. I'd suggest that Lopez is ahead of Vicente in the pecking order nowadays so would only expect to see Vicente off the bench to replace him.
I wasn't actually suggesting playing Vicente at Leeds, as he's not currently part of our strongest team (as he's not been playing). It's more that I'd like Poyet to give his first 11 game time together (and giving Gus a better idea of who he'll use in the all important semis), before resting a few on the 4th. If we don't need anything on the 4th, that's when perhaps Vicente can be tried with either Dave or Orlandi - maybe one in each half (perhaps with Bridcutt, Hammond and Buckley/Kaz).
Sorry, mis-read. Well anyway, I agree. The more game time they have the better gonig into the Play-Offs in case of injuries/suspensions.
