Ishmael Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Will start: Harper Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique Barton Tiote Nolan Jonas Ameobi Lovenkrands Would like to see: Harper Simpson Williamson Coloccini Enrique Routledge Barton Tiote Jonas Ameobi Ranger Why do you want to move Barton inside, out of a position where he has been excelling?

Stu Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'd drop Nolan and Shola for Wedenesday as they're not up to 2 games in 3 days. Disagree, we give them a break (if needed) against Stevenage. No point keeping them 'fresh' for that when they can have 10 days to recuperate before the mackems. EDIT: Especially when they're, arguably, going to be our two most important players.

JH Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Why does he want to start Routledge/Ameobi/Ranger over our second top goalscorer and club captain? Maybe because he prefers a player with genuine skill and pace, over one who might score/get involved if he feels like it that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Especially when they're, arguably, going to be our two most important players. not that i'd try and speak for mick, but i think the inference is not that they'll be knackered after the game, but they'll be shit during it. i sort of agree with him really but we dont have many options, just have to hope that tiote deals with their mifield and shola gets another easy finish. i realise that concerning nolan this sort of contradicts my above post, but even if he is a bit sluggish i just think its been proven we're a better team with him this season.

Guest BooBoo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The Nolan bashing is tedious mind. I think most can see that despite his limitations, he's still a very important player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving them a break at a later date will not give them more stamina/fitness on Wednesday. They could both play well but so far playing them too often in a short space of time hasn’t worked out like that and I'd rather not carry passengers in an important game.

merlin Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A point is the minimum required from this game, and 3 should be the target - had the side not been so prone to losing at home to teams they should beat, this would be cast as a def win. WHU have picked up of late though, and this will be far from easy - anything we get will have to be fought for and a win would ease the pressure for a while.

Karjala Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 After failing to beat Blackpool, Stoke, Wigan, Blackburn & Fulham at home, surely we are due to beat a shit team at SJP. Gonna go for a hard 2-1 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 As i hate him and he is s**** Carlton Cole is nailed on to score. I know the feeling. I was dreading Boselli breaking his duck against us. Or Andy Useless Johnson getting a flukey deflection and some twunt on MOTD praising him to the skies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
