mightyreds89 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Trundle must be wondering what he has too do. Believe in GJ not the team I wanted to see but will see if he has got it right! Would have liked to see Trundle and not Dele, and Noble for Wilson. Both Trundle and Noble had good games at Sheff Utd last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people we be disapointed that Trundle has not started after mid-week, but I doubt he could last a whole game (better off the bench at the moment). Agreed. I actually think Trundle and Noble might be more effective from the bench at the moment, but it is really great they are in the squad. Just think; Sheffield United get Big Dele and Big John bashing them about for 60-70 minutes, then could face Trundle, Nobes and Maynard coming off the bench to pick at the holes and exploit the tired legs. Good plan me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob4Jane Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Aye, I would have been tempted by Nicky and Big John. But In GJ we trust, and perhaps it's the danger of two young 'uns, and Big Bad John needing some older support for his full debut?? Ah, heck. I really hope that Trunds can come on and influence the game like last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City_pete1 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 What does Trundle have to do!? Agreed he was quality on the left in mid-week, and would be good to see him start there. However, could he last a whole game? I doubt it. I think for a tough away game at Sheffield, we need to start with players with a higher work rate (when up against it). Probably better to try starting him at home in my opinion. Hope to see him in the second half though, and if he can do it again then it will become hard to justify not starting him. Time will tell.

mightyreds89 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I agree I would not persisit with Adebola, since he has come into the team in January our football has been know where near as good, he tries hard but he is not good enough to make us a top of the table team (not saying he has to do this alone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_b Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 What does Trundle have to do!? Learn to play in a way where he would be effective against a team not defending constantly? He's only played well, out on the left, against Birmingham & Plymouth when both teams were sat back defending a two-goal lead. He can't play up-front as he doesn't fit into our structure, cannot defend so can't play on the left and simply can't play for 90 minutes at the tempo you saw on Tuesday (if he did then by 60th minute he'd be on his arse dead!) anyway. He is an effective sub - that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scumbag Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 We are just not good enough, we are nothing but a small fish in a big pond. I think we will struggle this season, we have a battle on our hands. at the moment, there is no doubt we are not good enough to be pushing for promotion, that the club stated was the aim at the start of the season. However we are only 1/2 players short of a geniune promotion team. A Quality Central midfielder to play alongside Elliott is VITAL absoultely VITAL and a right winger would be nice, however between Wilson/Williams/Murray/Sproule hopefully one of them can hit some form.... the question though HAS to be asked, despite Akinde getting a tap in on Tuesday, what does Trundle have to do to get a start.

Red_Mat Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Chris Weale plays v Wolves. Makes a 'howler' for the first goal, and is dropped for the next game. Adriano Basso plays v Plymouth. Makes a 'howler' for the first goal, and plays the next game. Adriano Basso plays again v Sheffield United. Makes another 'howler' for the first goal. Wonder what'll happen next week? People say Basso wasn't match fit and needed to get up to speed. Well, Chris Weale had only played about a handful of first team games in the last year, came into the team and did a reasonably good job, just making the one 'howler'.

I'm a big fan of Emile Heskey, and he's probably as close a style of player as you'll get to Adebola, but he doesn't score many. The problem with Adebola is he has lost any pace he had as he is getting old; he doesn't keep hold of the ball nearly half as much as he should; and for a supposedly big striker wins practically nothing in the air! I am not just judging him on his goalscoring ability, but his all-round game, and that has been distinctly lacking so far this season.

Red_Mat Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 The howler today gave a corner away, not a goal, not a free kick in a dangerous position or a pen. Whilst it would have been better not to give a corner away, they scored because we marked poorly at a corner. But I see what you mean with your point. When strikers miss we all forget it, a keeper has little or no margin. Well, the point is also that one goalkeeper's mistakes seem to get remembered more than anothers. I'm not comparing goalies with strikers because you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we just start with our best team???
