wiseman Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I wouldn't drop Lascelles straight away, but after the intense run of fixtures we have been having, pretty sure botman will get a chance while we take the opportunity to remember what subs are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Schar can play in goal, he’s great with his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 It's Botman's place in the team but I wouldn't be surprised if he's a sub for his first couple of games back just to help him build match fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 14 hours ago, Checko said: Although Howe likes to stick with the same back 4, I reckon there might be a bit of rotation, manage players' workloads, not overwork Botman straight back from injury, while also giving him enough opportunity to put in some good performances and get his starting job back without flat out just dropping lascelles. Howe will keep playing Lascelles until Botman is fully fit. Botman might get a few 15-20 minute appearances to check his knee in full flight. BUt I don't think he'll be rushed. CBs need the least amount of rest anyway. If he's training we'll hopefully see him against Chelsea at the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do wonder if he'll look back on this and think he should have rotated more. Still, a lot of injuries were freak accidents (Barnes, Burn, Pope etc) so it's not solely down to that, but I think he'll likely be more open to rotating/earlier subs now.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Personally I think he's completely on top of the data, what he sees in training and the importance of each game... and makes decisions according to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has he done that has made you think that? I think Rafa was like that. He would rotate early in the season for fatigue reasons. Howe comes across as more of a momentum guy. In a competitive game state, Dan Burn was playing damn near every minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 On 05/12/2023 at 19:30, Conjo said: Every player that has been introduced to our regular defence - Lascelles, Livramento, Krafth, Dummett, Hall - all of them has done well. I don't buy the preference to stick with a settled back 4 any longer, and I doubt Howe does as well. Things change. Fringe and up & coming players has proved themselves - now we just need to rely on Howe to manage game time to avoid another injury nightmare like the one we've been through. rafa was good like that with the defence. got it sorted so thet whoever stepped in knew their role and didnt upset things too much. same now with howe who wasnt meant to be a great coach defensovely.

The fact Eddie basically said absolutely nothing on him, whilst saying Willock and Barnes were out til January, makes me think he might be about ready. Or he’s completely fettled ?
