binnsy Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 i thought Carroll would be back but think i read something somewhere today that Hughton had ruled him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'm looking for someone to blame here. Do you blame Hughton for putting them in against the cloggers of Huddersfield in a useless cup game? Do you blame Ashley for not getting more in? Blergh.

ujpest doza Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Bumper crowd ? Possible new owners and bank holiday night time kick off could see us go over the 45,000 mark i think. Plus i think Leicester have sold their full allocation. But what is their full allocation?? Reading were allocated 1668 tickets and sold about half. I will be very very surprised if Leicester have sold the 2850 that Sheff Wed did as in the past their support up here has been absolutely gash.

Nobody Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Christ just had a horrible thought that if Shola is crocked we could see Smith back playing up front and Butt playing in midfield............ Hopefully Butt is out too, or atleast that Hughton has enough sense to see that Guthrie is a far superior player. Hoping that the Butt substitution on Wednesday supports one of the two theories Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Mmm, a quick scan of a Leicester website indicates they were allocated 2800 tickets and currently have 900 left on general sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 .cock say: Barton definitely back Butt probably back Jonas and Shola very doubtful (being assessed later today, Shola has stress injury to the bone, Jonas hamstring) No mention of Carroll or Xisco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 No mention of Carroll or Xisco nufc.co.uk now says they are both out with groin strains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Jonas injury = blessing in disguise, won't leave now. Shola's injury is a bit of mare but hopefully Ranger/Xisco will have time to build some confidence now. Still need another striker like. Jonas could still be sold while he is injured, look at Downing at Villa, he won't be able to play a game for them until December/January time.

Skirge Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Shola, Carroll and Xisco out BRING ON THE NILE its your time kidda! http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1780495,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatwax Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ok, Shola and Carroll are out of this crucial league match. Who would YOU choose? RANGER XISCO erm.. SMITH DONALDSON This injury in the striker department means that we'll almost definitely play a 5 man midfield with Nolan playing the advanced role.. so who would you play upfront? Your choices range from 3 strikers with no senior goals for the club and a Spanish striker that has failed to impress at reserve level whilst here.

James Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 No strikers. Also turns out that Hughton only brought Butt off due to a minor injury, but he's expected to be back for Monday. Fucks sake. Good news though is Barton's back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 At least Barton is back for this one. I think with Guthrie and Barton playing we shouldn't worry too much, they will be a massive problem for any defence in this league. Fatwax, Xisco is also injured.

Jayson Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Barton will prob get on as a sub id imagine, they rarely just drop a player straight back in. Same with Butt luckily. Get Ranger upfront, give the lad another go. Smith upfront would be pointless, hes no confidence in that area anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Shola hasn't bee ruled out...he's very doubtful. In NUFC terms this means he is crippled though. Unless we get a surprise loan/free signing today (like we did Simpson a few weeks back) it'll be Ranger supported by Guthrie/Nolan you would think. Guthrie was more advanced than Nolan in the first half on Wednesday and according to the radio was much further upfield than Nolan on Saturday at Palace, so I'd expect something like: Ranger Nolan Guthrie R Taylor Barton Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ranger and Nolan I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ranger ends up our only fit forward we MUST have Barton and Guthrie involved to help him, our midfield will be very pedestrian without Jonas.

James Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I would play: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Enrique Taylor Guthrie Smith Barton Nolan Ranger if Barton can't make it I'd prefer to play Geremi or Vuckic than Lua Lua. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
