Currie leaving won't affect us Saturday

[Normandy seagull]

It is sad to see darren go but I don't think we will notice it much on saturday as Mcghee will probably be playing a 5-3-2 formation (with oatway, carpenter and Nicholas) and he wouldn't be playing anyway. I will always remember his goals agianst QPR and the blades but equally his last game for us against rotherham where his crossing was woeful. We will miss a good crosser at home though, no doubt.

Crossing against Rotherham was so woeful that he still set the goal up.

must have been a mis hit

We will miss himm , crosses and holding the ball up in midfield to buy time

Exactly, he was the one creative link in our midfield and it means the park footballer will be playing even more games.

It was more of a long ball pass than a cross wasn't it

Whatever, but it set the goal up, who is going to do that now? Oatway?

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

Careful. London Irish could be on the prowl. If he hears you talking about his Oatway in that fashion....

Good.

 

[Silent Bob]

Oatway's not been bad recently

 

[Uncle Buck]

atway's not been bad recently

True, but now we have lost the one bit of creativity, out midfield is going to look very workman like.

 

[Silent Bob]

I know but if we're playing 5-3-2 Currie wa sout of place, and if we're playing 4-4-2 ALBERT!!

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

So Currie's off and we'll have to make do with Chips then?

 

[ShorehamGull]

Just heard all the news, I must admit I am shocked, I thought he was happy with us and would see out his contract with us.
Saying that though the £250.000 would come in handy

 

[ShorehamGull]

We still have the likes of Jones, Hart, Hammond and of course Jarrett to turn to, not to worry

The only one of those that inspires any confidence at present is Hammond, but again like Oatway, Carpenter and Nicolas, very workman like. Not inspiring really.

No flair

what are you actuallly loooking for a 'flair player' to do in a 3-5-2 system , its pretty much a hard working formation and relying on your full backs to push on and support your midfield and get the ball in the box whoever crosses it !!
lets not overdo the praise on Currie he did not set the team alight every game did he ??, our victories have been based around all players working for each other and not individual play.

In fairness under Coppell we were able to accomodate Brooker in a 5-3-2, with some sort of free role behind the forwards, so it can work.

 

[Silent Bob]

Currie couldn't have played that role though.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Currie couldn't have played that role though.

He did on Saturday and although not his greatest game, he never went missing after a few bad balls.

I honestly believe that the sale of Currie could have the same affect that the sale of Byrne had in the 91/92 season.
