Kelvin Etuhu, Rory Delap & Rob Edwards will be available for selection next Saturday to freshen things up a bit. Great point today, lads.
Good, some rested (if not 100% match fit players to come into the last 2 games. Delap would be a shoe in for me. His experience will be invaluable and those long throws dangerous. Etuhu also will be a big plus. He's come a long way since the start of the season. More options for Flicker too.
Perkins must play. Id also start with Marlon & Dagger. Had a great run of results when they started and neither are injured or have let us down. O'grady has been top draw but why not freshen up. Cog also played left mid vs wolves and did a Stirling job. Also interesting to see young Dennis Knight on the bench. I know we are low on numbers but from what I have read this lad is a talent and set piece specialist. Not saying he should start but he may play some part before the season end. Played one game on trial for Hartlepool and bagged a hat trick, they were desperate to get him but we gazumped them. My side if fit. 442 diamond Steele Jones, Wisemen, Crainie, Kennedy Delap (dmc) Perkins, Ethuhu, Mellis (amc) Harewood & Dagnall Subs: Alnwick, Edwards, obrien, cwyka, knight, Scotland & o'grady
Obrien been poor for a while now. Running round like a maniac, usually nowhere near the ball, is not what we need. Cywka far more controlled and effective. Different midfield altogether with etuhu back in
No it isn't. He had a poor first season by his own admission. I thought he did okay on Tuesday, but by trying to press and be more aggressive, he has lost the elusive flair part of his game. He is too busy scrapping instead of being on the front foot ready to receive the ball and attack. This is how Flicker has chosen to play him and it obviously frustrates him, but it is probably the right thing to do at the moment..
JOB imo had a poor first season, a good second season and has had a distinctly average third season. 5/10 for his entire time with us.
