Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Bryson on bench to come on is like having a yorkshire terrier at the ready. He's still got running in those legs. BJ is becoming undropable. He was immense today in a performance of 5 players at least warranting a 9 out if 10 (Baird, Ince, Hughes, Butterfield second half, BJ). GT if fit will be a great option to have on the bench I still have a gut feeling that Blackman will come good and will be another strong addition on the bench which could allow Vydra to have the wide right birth. Vydra is like **** off a stick. Warranted he's not starting but he has the pace to hit tiring defence's in the last 20. Have to eat humble pie on The Baird. He has improved every game since he filled the RB spot. We now gave two RB's who both bring something different to the table. Although not a fan of Olsson he did nothing wrong today. Lowe imo is first choice but strength in depth is key as we will (and have picked up a number of injury's this season). Pearce is imo the best out and out defender we have had since Laursen. No nonsense but comfortable on the ball and a born leader. We still have Shacks on the bench who is resting up. In readiness to step in when needed. Form is only temporary but based on the upturn in performances by virtually every member of the squad am i alone in thinking we have the 2nd strongest squad in the division?????

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Don't need options... As they say, never change a winning team... And we just keep on winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Agree but it means that if we need to break sides down we have the depth of squad to turn a game. We havent had this for years. Even in 13/14 our bench included Sammon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Agree with everything but Lowe first choice... great prospect yes! But a handful of games doesn't make him first choice? Pearce has been the most pleasing for me though, waited for his moment and he's really taken it! Quality professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 You could say great options if you think how well our third choice left back did yesterday. Or how our third choice keeper is in form for Stoke. I wouldn't mind having Forsyth and Thorne back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Bruce Forsyth than Craig. Absolute garbage left back. Nowhere near the team ever again thank you very much. Not with the other two left backs at our disposal.

Oh dear lord fellas he's off again. What wrong with Fozzy? Let me guess you played with both Maldini and Roberto Carlos and Fozzy isn't a patch on either of those?

I'm not having that, he's better than Olsson. I do think come the end of the season Lowe will be first choice so one will need moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with you about Forsyth, he is a very solid left back, very rarely gets beaten, and is good going forward as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollycutts1982 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 At the minute if both were fit I would think Fozzy has a better chance of getting in the team than Thorne. But again it is a lovely problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Great options. And agreed, we don't need 3 left backs when Forsyth is fit. Olsson would be the one I'd get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadfully poor delivery from the flank, just can't seem to strike a ball at all correctly. Don't rate him, stinks the place out. We have far better at the club nowadays.

Isn't it great how a common love for a football team can bring together so many strangers with so many varied opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attacking forays were a joy to watch, especially in Mac's first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Forsyth is my first choice because he has good all round ability, plus one huge advantage over the other two, he's not bad in the air. It's like having an extra cd when defending dead ball situations and when the keeper has to play it long, he invariably beats his man in the air to knock the ball on. He would be a good option if we wanted to change to 3 CD during a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has cost us dozens of goals. He is in the top three in terms of left backs at the club. Thats as far as I will give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must watch a different game to me as he wins nearly everything in the air, hence why we went through a stage of being useless and just booting the ball to the left wing for him to win the header and hope something happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
