Who makes way for Nyatanga?

None of the back 4 deserve to lose their place. I personally believe we didn't need Nyatanga. However, I'm absolutley delighted with the ambition shown by the board.

 

Van Homoet I'm afraid as Foster should never be dropped. One takes one knock or suspension and the strength in depth will show

Wouldn't be surprised if Kozluk goes by midnight

 

Sounds about right..although..

I don't think Van Homoet has played badly or anything.

 

I do

I think he looks a reasonable defender but a disaster in possession.
I would say we have seen steady progress since he broke into the team but really I only see him as cover.

 

I don't think anyone should personally. I find it difficult to get excited over the signing of an inexperienced teenager (and it shows) who isn't considered good enough for a team who's manager has openly admitted that they will be playing in the Championship next season. If he isn't good enough for Derby County and Paul Jewel, why should anyone think that he will be the saviour for BFC?

 

Foster back to RB.

 

I'm not one of these...

who are over excited about the signing, thinking he will be "the saviour of BFC" but it's a solid, positive signing, surely? We know what he can do, he does a good job alongside Souza and he can only get more experienced and improve.

 

Has to be Hassell for me.

 

Have to remember that he can also play LB. Will this mean that the WBA player goes back?
All adds to pressure on places, something which we have lacked over the years in this area.

 

He's class.

He's also only 19.

Bruma goes, Foster back to RB. Hassell to provide cover to CB and RB. Kozluk starts at left back.

Simple.

 

Move Foster to Right back, drop Van Homeot Simple!!!!

Question: if the current back 4 i.e. Van Homeot, Souza, Foster, Hassell/Tininho are so good why have we only won one league of the last nine league games, and conceded 16 goals??? We are more assured with Nyatanga back there and he formed a great partnership with Souza.

van Homeot has done okay, hasn't pulled up any trees. Personally I would like to see Foster at right back with central pairing of Souza and Nyatanga..... Tininho looks pretty solid, I would like to see him stay. If not I would give Kozluk a chance as he looked bright early season.

 

Warner
Foster, Nyatanga, Souza, Kozluk
Anderson
JCR, Howard, Leon
Macken, Ferenczi

Maybe even start with Mostto. Be interesting to see how he works with a player like Leon in the team.

 

Good arrow.</p>

With the creativity of Leon the strikers might start to shine, and with DeSilva's quality with and without the ball I think we'll not concede as many - far less pressure on the back 4 when the midfield can actually hold the ball and stop the opposition playing.</p>

 

I feel sorry for Foster who's played very well at his favoured central position but for the good of the team he has to go to right back, or dare I say rest Souza.

 

RE: Move Foster to Right back, drop Van Homeot Simple!!!!

partly because our midfield and striker situation has'nt help (i.e no holdup play since macken went)

we have put the spine back together but in my opinion and i aint gald hes come back nyatanga was at the bottom of my wish list

 

I wonder why that was? nt

 

RE: Move Foster to Right back, drop Van Homeot Simple!!!!

Nyatanga has only missed 6 games and in those 6 games we conceded 8 goals at the rate of 1.33 per game. In the previous 27 games, when Nyatanga did play, we conceded 45 goals at a rate of 1.66 per game. Incidentally, the back 4 that you mentioned didn't play in all 6 of the games that Nyatanga missed.

 

yeah we did need nyatanga. and van homoet it not good enough.
