Anyone else think the French Bloke was Class

[Da Man Clay]

Was only a matter of time before el-abd got sent off yesterday. Some challenges that were very dangerous.

I think that that was the reasoning behind his substitution, nothing to do with his play which was the usual excellant spoiler game, which every successful team has and needs.

 

[Da Man Clay]

That was most certainly the reason for his substitution. He had been playing well other than the mis-timed tackles.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Are we getting carried away with what was a reasonable initiation into English football. Is it that our expectation is so low that anybody looks to be an improvement but did he win more balls and look so menacing as El Abd, the answer is a resounding no.

His distribution was better then Adams but that is not what Adam is in the team for or is it.

lightn up for goodness sake

 

[BensGrandad]

On his showing I would like to see him in the team with El Abd not instead of as is being suggested by many.

I believe that our problems at the moment stem from us not having a ball playing midfielder to disribute the ball accurately and quickly.

At the start of the season Cox was hitting balls into open spaces and JR was running and picking them up as if through telepathy but that is not happening now. Either Coxy has decided that he must put the ball into the crowded box near to or at the keeper or he has been told to and is following instructions.

He has lost his flair for the unexpected ball.

I thought he looked very useful when he came on. He got into the game straight away attacking with his very first touch. I would like to see him start on saturday.

Agree with that.

 

[Caveman]

I have to agree, and if someone cannot see that this new french guy is better (even after only a short period of time) then you really need to get them eyes tested.

I need an I test then.

 

[SeagullTim]

I need an I test then.

Ditto, think he's an important player and should not be dropped.

El-Abd - O'Cearuill - Butters - Rents
Cox - Ward - Hammond - Bertin - Frutos

Swap Rents for Lynch and you are there.

I had a feeling Bertin would be good and he looked class to me. Found space well, very neat and made the right choices with his movement and passing.

 

[Blackadder]

Anyway more important issues

Isn't Bertin's first name Plastic?

I feel a new song coming on.

Ca Plane pour moi

Atilla can play it next Saturday!

Again, why would you drop Lynch? He was by far and away our best defender yesterday! Looks back to his best.
