Ramage & Cranie

Thankfully our next game is against a side that showed no movement at all in our previous encounter with them *ahem*

 

Hopefully Sir Bob is fit and can come in and rescue our season. Again.

 

Fingers crossed Bobby Hassell is close to a return.

 

Danny says McLaughlin could be back training soon enough too.

I'd play both him and Hunt on the right, because we don't have any other natural wide men. If we stick a Mellis or a Paddy out wide its a waste of time.

I wish he'd play Nyatanga before Big Jean though.

 

So Solid Crew

 

I've only just got around to watching the highlights from Tuesday night. Wow. If we play M'Voto again this season we're practically giving the opposition a goal a game at least. He might be a nice bloke, and I hate being critical of our players, but he's so bloody awful it's untrue. I didn't realise at the game just how shockingly out of position he was. You could drive a double decker between our defence.

No O'Brien, or Cranie, and Ramage out for at least a week?

If we go with M'Voto and Nyatanga this weekend and don't lose, I'll be stunned.

 

I've not been able to bring myself to watch it as yet.

I so want him to be good. But his positional sense is terrible, takes forever to start moving by which time is too late and that's before his poor control and mandatory shirt grabbing. The only use I can see for him is to do a man marking job if the opposition have a very large target man and limited mobility. Say if he was facing us for example!

 

Sir Bob, cometh the hour ... cometh the man

otherwise we are right royally fecked

 

If Hassell is even half fit he'd be in the team. After seeing Nyatanga and M'Voto on Tuesday I'd also be tempted to play Digby at centre half. He's certainly big enough.

If we play Nyatanga and M'Voto against a team that is daft enough to launch the ball in the air, we'll be fine, M'Voto can win headers all day, he's good at it, but if we're up against a nippy forward, we're ******.

 

Especially against a team with as much pace as Watford.. they'd kill us

 

To say he wins a fair share of headers, he often gets very poor distance on them which tends to lead to us instantly having to defend again immediately.

 

Personally, I think both M'voto & Nyatanga will play on Saturday, probably with Frimpong and Dawson being selected, too, to provide protection theoretically in midfield.
I know nowt about football.

 

So do I. And I think we'll lose, heavily.

 

2-0 win, Ian Bryson & Wayne Biggins the scorers.
I'm ever so sorry. I think I've just experienced one of them there time slips!

 

Ian Bryson is one of my favourite ever signings. Not because he was any good, he wasn't, he was crap, but it was the speed in which everyone, including the manager, realised he was crap. Signed him, played him, sold him and doubled our money all within the space of three months. And the added bonus was as he left, Payton arrived. Couldn't have been better.

Kevin Gallen made a similar impression. Unfortunately this time there wasn't an Andy Payton to take his place.

 

Then Biggins to do that celebration with Gerry Taggart where they applaud each other.

 

Who was there when oddjob got two? 35k less away fans there that Wednesday than the previous Sunday.

 

Can Vicarage Road hold 35,000 away fans ?
