I love Calde, but I might pick Ckicksen next week.

I'd play them both and drop Murphy. Just a thought.

Murphy just isn't good enough defensively, and he may be up against Ince.

You must have stood next to me in the North Stand in he days of Horton, Ward, Steele, Mellor etc, I can even remember seeing Alex Dawson, Alan Gulliver, Kit and John Napier. But whats such longevity got to do with this argument? Does that make you right in a conversation.

Solicitor, accountant, barrister your wrong on that one also, couldn't be further from the truth. But I am not rude, judgemental and willing to put myself up for ridicule as you are, so suspect we are vey different.
But I bow to you having supported the team for forty years as this must make your opinion a fact on all posts on here, clearly that's why you are respected and your opinion so sought after.

In answer you your question, I spent the first part of my life as soldier, fighting in two major conflicts and other overseas operations and now i'm in business. What have you done with your life, would be interested to know?

He's married so that's one major conflict he's fought in :moo:

Can I ask that you leave the front pairing as it is though

Ok.

Remind me, what was this thread about again?

I thought that March looked good on the left with VLP on the right but it must be said we were attacking so could put a false face on it.. I would be inclind to try him there instead of Murphy who I dont think has been at his best recently. It was also give us a left footed player on the left for more balance.

None of us pick the team but are we not permitted to have an opinion and express it on a fans forum?

You have managed nearly 48,500 opinions so what's your problem with me disagreeing with a few :moo:

Ashley Cole is a free agent. Only 34, could do a job till end of season.

Certainly agree about dropping a winger and bolstering our midfield next week, wouldn't play Chicksen though. I'd keep Calde at left back, and maybe replace Murphy with Crofts, if he is fit to play.

Is he carrying an injury though? I haven't seen him in the squad for a few games.

Might be able to do a job by the end of the season. Won't be match fit now.

To be fair given our options atm a 50% fit Ashley Cole would still do a job. Then if we went up give him a year deal.

I'd be very surprised if we don't play 5 in midfield next week. To go to Derby with two wingers is asking for trouble.

Yes, Crofts could be key against the Derby midfield.

The reason I mentioned Chicksen would be as a wide midfield player, rather than LB, just think that we need a natural left footer who can defend.

My thoughts exactly.

That doesn't happen very often!

Enjoying the season, Kev?

I think the doubt is whether he can defend

Absolutely. It very much needs to be safety first next week, flood midfield and do without one, or even two wingers. We need to break up play, and slow the game down.

If we can snatch a goal then great, but l'm hoping for an awful game, and that we can snatch a point.

Ordinarily, I would agree with you, but surely can't be any worse than Murphy.

Nonsense
We continue to play 4-4-2 as usual no matter who we're playing.
No need for this cautious crap as that's just playing into the hands of derby...Houghton won't change and rightly so as we go out to win and focus on our game not theirs.
