Guest n4e Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hughton has confirmed that Colo and Barton are out. Jonas and Geremi are back in the squad, still no word on Simpson or Taylor. so if both simpson and taylor are out injured would that be Geremi at RB or Kadar/Tozer in the centre with Khiz at RB. I'm sure Geremi has played RB in the past and did well when he was an alright player. Anything but Tozer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Alan Smith has clearly showed what many thought last season, which is that he is 10 times the player Butt is in that role. Having both of them in the midfield would be inexcusable if all our midfielders are fit to play. The fact the opposition are a lot more s***, and therefore easier to tackle and less likely to be fouled, has played a major factor mind. Still don't think Smith is the answer when we go back up. For this season though, ideal. Smith has been very good this season. So much so that it's easy to forget how woefully inadequate he was as a midfielder for us in the prem. My point exactly. Put him up against Lampard, Gerrard, etc. again, and he'll be back to his frustrating worst I reckon, picking up daft yellow cards, giving away silly free-kicks on the edge of the area, etc. At the very least I reckon this season will boost his transfer value in the summer. It is ofcourse possible that some of our players were simply lacking confidence rather than ability. This season may help rebuild that up & they may do decently in the prem. Rtaylors delivery this season alone is a big example of a player massively underperforming. We were lucky if he kept a set piece in play last season & playing in the championship doesnt make freekicks easier to deliver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 He's as bad as Nicky Butt is now. Good players at some point in their career, as you have noted, but he has no pace anymore and does very little in the games i've ever seen him play. I'd sooner see more of this Georgian lad. Doesn't help that the squad is ludicrously thin but I don't see the effect he has on the pitch anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help that the squad is ludicrously thin but I don't see the effect he has on the pitch anymore If Zurab has to move to the middle to make up for Coloccini's absence Geremi'll probably be our best option at full back. The alternative is playing Kadar in the middle which is a much greater risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 So worst case, none of them can start, what will the team be? Presumably Geremi in for Colo with Zurab switching to the middle and who comes in to midfield for R Taylor? One of the kids? Or do we put a kid in defence (Kadar or Tavernier presumably) and leave Geremi in midfield? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went 30 mins before the Leeds friendly and it was manic. They didn't open a second cash turnstile until 5 mins after KO and we didn't get in until 15 minutes in. There's been quite a bit of mayhem cash-turnstile wise this season, I'd make sure you get there a bit earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 You would think the in debt club would have the pay at the turnstile fully manned up even if it meant some scan in entry turnstiles are closed.

I'm a little concerned about who the '11th man' is going to be if all the doubts aren't fit to start as I mentioned a few posts up. Still reckon we'll do them though.
