Sexydadbod Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hard to argue with any of that. Same team that beat West Brom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 They've had to put Luke Ayling at centre back! Goals goals here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I noticed on the video showing Nugent in training, that there was footage of the defence in training. and in that clip you could see Hanson, shackell, keogh and baird infront of carson. So this was the first time i actually thought Shackell might be back in. But umbelievably harsh on Pearce. Will be interesting to see how Keogh does too. As Keogh definately seems to play better along side pearce. Time will tell i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Play well you keep your place. Should always be the case. Would I have liked to see Hughes and Pearce back in? of course but what message does that send out to the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if "play well you keep your place" is the system why did Shackell come in to the WBA game. I think this is harsh personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Bloomin freezing up here! Good line up, feel for Pearce but pleased we've kept Baird at right back as I feel he is much more self-assured that side. Not sure I saw any similarity between De Sart and Hughes? Looking forward to seeing them both in the team soon. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would of gone with Baird at RB, Keogh and Pearce centre halves and Shackell at left back. Think we could do with the added height tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps our best player yet Shackell comes in for one game which we win and keeps his place. I like both players but I find it very odd to start with Shackell given the run of form we AND Pearce have been on. Lets hope it works out. Hopefully Pearce will see this as a further challenge to regain his place rather than take a negative view of it. If it were me I'd be spitting feathers. Of course there could be other unknown circumstances why Pearce hasn't been picked to start so no point reading much into it I think but on the face of it I find it surprising. Rooting for Shacks and the team though. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie G Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Well done Mac good team selection, play like we did against WBA and we won't lose. Pearce very unlucky but his last game was a 3-0 defeat. Never change a winning side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not done enough wrong in my opinion to be dropped and Shackell's not done enough in that one game to suggest he's a better option that one our best form players. I understand this happens, and Shackell's hardly going to be a bad player in any game(s) he plays, but I've had a lot of admiration for the way Pearce has come into the team after having to sit out for so long and now it's possible he doesn't come back in, again. All Shackell has to do is not make any glaring errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 We don't know the details yet. Maybe Pearce has a niggle just like Hughes so Mac thought it wasn't worth playing him when we have a quality replacement in shacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyram1983 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Again I think it's harsh on Pearce. Only errors recently have been keogh. I'm not saying I would drop keogh but it's not good for Pearces morale as he's been great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckoBeast Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 If he's dropped him, no injurty/ illness etc that is unbelievable. He's been by far our best player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've won 3 of our last 6 away games drawing one with Pearce at centre back. He doesn't play tonight. Strange IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
