samo II Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So, I guess this is the acid test as to whether those laying the blame for our defensive woes at the feet of JET are right. I presume those who see him as a liability expect a clean sheet tonight now; we'll see. Me? I hope we do well, regardless of line up, but it being Marvin not Wade Elliott in the middle tonight, and with a CB on the wing, I see next to no creativity in that team. I pray and pray hard to be proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hmmm.. JET dropped, surprising, as I thought the longer the game went on at Wolves, the more he came into it. Maybe there is a bid in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Had a bad last two games, and we missed Pack Saturday. I think Pack is one of the best players we have, but people don't give him enough credit. He is very much like Cole Skuse, a player who does all the dirty, unnoticed work, until he doesn't get played. The two games we have lost under SC, he hasn't played in both. Also, he is the only player, who comes and collects the ball from defense, and will turn a defense into attack. In this formation, with little width, I hope we see more of Pack's offensive game, rather than him being asked to mop up in front of the defence; that should be Elliott's role tonight. I think Pack is a good player who we've yet to see the best of, but he's not naturally inclined to be played so far down field; it hobbles his game. Hope tonight is an opportunity for him to impose himself more. Agreed. Honestly in disbelief at people being happy at our top scorer, top assist maker and all round best player left out Yup. I can understand people wanting to see players bust a gut, but JET's ability to drag us back into games with assists and goals is not something simple effort can replace.

The Fat Controller Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Whilst I think this a dangerously poor selection, I'm totally unsurprised by it given SC's comments. He clearly doesn't rate Maloney, and is shoehorning Osborne into the side following El Abd's arrival. I think it's likely El Abd would have been basically guaranteed First Team football. Reid can't play two games in a week, so is "rested". W.Elliott is 35 and likely can't play two games in a week, so is saved for Saturday when he'll have trained with our squad a bit. M.Elliott and Pack are selected to "toughen us up" in midfield a little bit. I don't think it will work personally, but I reckon that's the theory. For what it's worth I think Marv gets a bit of unfair stick from some. He'll be energetic and break up or disrupt their play, although we all know he can't really pass for toffee. i don't think JET being left out is anything other than being rested, as others have said, if a serious bid had come in he wouldn't be in the squad. We'll miss his creativity/goals/assists and the space he creates for others. I think the whole selection is SC trying to make us a little more physical, which of course has meant we'll sacrifice creativity. Set pieces are our best bet for a goal.

Due to Reid also being left out I don't think there is as it's clearly a more direct approach. Staggered that some are happy at JET being left out. Nothing amazes me with BCFC though.
