Cajun Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Not this again, he has dropped butt plenty of times before. If Guthrie is injured who should he play? Nolan is anonymous in a central 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Not this again, he has dropped butt plenty of times before. If Guthrie is injured who should he play? Nolan is anonymous in a central 4-4-2. Im saying he wont drop him now, after his recent comments about how Butt is basically our version of Zidane.

Kaizero Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Why's Simpson been dropped? Because Hughton obviously thinks it's better to start Raylor for this fixture for a reason we will never know unless he explains it himself in an interview.

Cajun Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 People have been moaning all season how he wont drop butt despite him doing it on numerous occasions. Its not exactly revolutionary for a manager to big up his players in the press. As said, if Guthrie is injured then his choices were very limited.

STM Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I think Pancrate's pace down the right could provide space and alot of crossing chances for Taylor, if that is the case Carroll and Nolan could cause loads of problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Ryan Taylor is in the side because he is the only one who can take a decent corner, free kick etc. That is my guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 If Nolans actually upfront and not behind Carroll then he'll be useless. He hasnt scored any of his goals upfront, he'll be marked out of it. Its a crap lineup regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 We win away from home then totally change the team around for the next game away to a team in the bottom half of the league, crazy and asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Ryan Taylor is in the side because he is the only one who can take a decent corner, free kick etc. That is my guess. if nicky c***ing butt lets him take any of them haha he will, Butt knows he is shit at set pieces man, he even joked about how he could't believe he was the best we had to take them last season. Butt was waiting to take a corner when Taylor came on against Coventry and Taylor took over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Had a feeling he'd pick Butt. Never thought hed play all 3 of Smith, Nolan & him though, pointless man. 4-5-1 was acceptable when we had injured strikers and some were off form. Now even Harewoods doing alright, Ranger gets his first, Ameobis back & scoring, Lovens looking good and he chooses 4-5-1 with justglassedsomeoneinthefaceCarroll upfront ?? I like Carroll. But to choose him after recently with everyone else in form, seems a bit past moronic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Butt always looks like giving away a penalty and dangerous free kicks . That's my biggest gripe about him amongst many others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 May aswell play 4-3-2 if we expect Nolan to do anything in the centre of a 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
