Mick Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Typical of Geremi that the only time we need him and he's not here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 If they didn't have decent wingers I'd be tempted to put Smith there, can fly into plenty of tackles and not hide away in the middle. Smith was shit today, I'd even be tempted to play Butt over him if he continues to play like he can't be arsed. What about a change of formation? 3 at the back too risky? Jonas and Guthrie as wing backs? Harper Colo Kadar Enrique Guthrie Jonas Butt Smith Nolan Ranger Loven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i was searching wildly around for someone other than Butt or Smith. As Mick said, fucking Geremi probably would've worked well in that formation.

Guest palnese Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ahh, the 3-5-2 Shearer-style. That worked well I recall, stop me if I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 The right back candidates: R Taylor: Suspended Simpson: Injured S Taylor: Injured Coloccini: Needed at centre half Kadar: Needed at centre half, left footed. Donaldson: A striker turned midfielder, filled in for 15 minutes at RB at Ipwich when the game was all but over, likewise at the Hawthornes. Tavernier: Actually is a right back, played against Peterborough in the Carling Cup. Inexperienced. Tozer: A defender at least, overlooked for Donaldson today though it hardly matters. Has covered at left back for Swindon, don't know what foot he is. Has had some less than favourable reviews from reserve and youth watches and was shit in the Carling Cup. If he's right footed I think he'll start. Jonas: Played right back for Argentina iirc. Needed in a more forward role however. Butt: Roeder spoke about using him at the back in a UEFA cup game due to injuries. Didn't happen though. Is old and will get raped. Guthrie: Barely defends when he plays right wing, right back will end him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper Colo Kadar Enrique Guthrie Jonas Butt Smith Nolan Ranger Loven The right hand side would get raped, theyd score for fun and their wingers will have the best day of their lives with that formation as Guthrie NEVER tracks back. Two DM's as well? and you want to depend on Nolan to be the playmaker alone, we'll get humped playing that at home. Simple 4-4-2 for me. Harper Anyone Collocini Kadar Enrique Guthrie Nolan Smith Jonas Carroll Lovenkrands EDIT: f***, didnt know Simpson was injured. Anything other than 4 at the back were f***ed. DOUBLE EDIT: fuck, didnt know Geremi wasnt here either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Is Taylor definiyely suspended? I thought the suspension only comes into effect 7 days after the red card? Or is that just yellow cards? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Jonas is the only player left who has experience playing right back (for Argentina). Will he be sacrificed from the midfield to help the defence? Imagine the midfield without him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 For any other game I would quite like to see how Jonas looks at Right Back but if it is Victor Moses who plays left wing for them, and he is meant to be attracting attention from some of Europes biggest (Barcelona, Arsenal etc), then it really would call for a solid defender with little thoughts on attacking for this game.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I hope we'll get someone in before the game, otherwise right back will be Tozer/Donaldson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 With them on a 6 game unbeaten run and having got a good draw at Wolves yesterday, and with us being without both Taylors (let's hope Simpson makes it) I'll take a scrappy 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 He will have to play one of the young kids at rb. I still feel we will be too good for them though. 2-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Did Donaldson end up playing right back yesterday? He did at the Ipswich game back in September. Right you are. Unfortuantely, we'll probably play Geremi there.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I wonder if Hughton will experiment with 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 on Wednesday. I'd be very nervous about playing one of the kids at RB especially seen as none of them have ever played the position before at senior level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
