Skeletor Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if Martins doesn't play. Might depend on how stroppy he's been about his substitution. Keegan seemed keen on comforting him though. We'll see. It will mean he'll have to make a difficult (albiet easy in reality) decision which I fear he'll bottle.

Guest ObaStar Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I think Keegan kept Viduka on for the off chance Geremi might put in a good cross. we needed some height at the front. Owen was kept on to put away an chances and by taking of martins for a midfielder it takes pressure of butt and barton and geremi as there is one more of them. It was a safe descision, going for the draw, not the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Martins was frustrated at going off. Good. That's what you want from your players imo. Definitely. He wasn't over the top either (like Keane for Tottenham), just frustrated enough. He must've known that he had a good game, and, like the rest of us, couldn't understand why he was subbed. I'm sure him and Kev will sort it out, if there's anything to sort out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Wonder how long 'til Carrol is going to get a chance, by the way. Thought he should've come on today for Viduka who looked completely knackered in the last 20 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Same team but with Zoggy in for Barton. I agree although personally I'd take Taylor out of the team too. I think he's created more problems recently than he's solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Harper Beye, Faye, Diatta, Enrique Martins Butt Barton N'Zogbia Owen Viduka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I feel that we need to keep the team mostly unchanged for the rest of the season. We need continuity rather than a new spanner in the works every game. For this I'd play anyone instead of Joey, as he had a woeful game against brum. My prediction is 2-0, Oba and Viduka to score.

Baggio Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Martins was frustrated at going off. Good. That's what you want from your players imo. I don't think it was that big a deal, he was unhappy in the heat of the moment but Keegan will talk to him about it tomorrow and all will be forgotten.

Shak Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If Emre is fit I'd start him in front of Barton and keep the same team otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 22bnw Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If Oba plays 90 mins of every game from now until the end of the season, we will be fine. Best player at the club and I would have told you that at the beginning of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We'll win. Long overdue a win and the lads will take heart from that tonight. Fancy us to score a few in the process too tbh. Aye. I reckon we'll shit 'em. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Trying to tell myself that tonight is just the first step to recovery and to not assume that 3 points is a given on Saturday. Cant help but think we have a great chance to ease the pressure. I just wish McBride wasnt fit again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Let's not get too overconfident. We were absolutely s*** in the first half today and we were always good in spells under Keegan. Its the fact that we don't have any consistency that's hurting us. If we show up in Some patches of Bolton/Middlesbrough/first 20 minutes vs ManU/Blackburn/2nd half today etc. mode we will win this. If not, it's going to be quite the challenge. Hardly three points in the bag. Bullard and McBride are quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Need to score early. Can see McBride scoring for them Nah, we'll shit 'em. Our inability to defend crosses is a major concern, always look like conceding whenever the oppo get the ball in the area and with McBrides ariel ability i see him scoring. An early goal for us though and that will deflate their confidence massively though with their away form over last 2 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
