Absolute $hite today. The rest of the team were good, particularly defensively, which is a nice change. I'd drop Conor for next game, show him he's not irreplaceable. Started out so promisingly, but been terrible last few games. Scowen looks fantastic, and what we really need, Waring likewise, looks very talented. And Lalkovic, he brings something that i cant quite put my finger on, but i'm VERY glad we have him. Like O'Brien, just brings that "something" that improves the team.
I think he probably needs a rest - he's played every game this season hasn't he? Perhaps a victim of his own success to some extent. I'd love to see him get some real support from the fans through his dip in form and come out fighting for the run in this season.
Was our poorest midfielder (again) tonight. He's not created anything in weeks other than from the odd corner, and Scowen and Pearson looked great together tonight, really shored us up in the middle. I'd give him a rest, as to be fair to him he's played every minute of every game so far this season.
Agree, he has played every minute I believe and lots of the pre season too. I think he needs to recharge his batteries. Problem is he is less effective out wide
1 outfield goal in 13 games is better than most players in our squad. He's not a left winger. Never will be, either. I thought he did his best to put a shift in tonight in a position that looks completely alien to him. He's clearly low on confidence, and probably tired with the amount of minutes he's played. A rest won't hurt him - but still think people writing him off (and there are some) are completely off the mark.
Left winger is clearly an unusual role for him and he struggles at times. Thought he tracked back well and offered Nyatanga support. Needs one of his shots to fly in and he will be up and running again. The reason he has played every game. Hourihane 11 league goals Everybody else still at club 17 league goals
