cosmic Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Looks like a team of players who worked the hardest in training. No surprises this the culture Rowett will try to encourage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the right thing in such a game. Hope so. How times have changed that Ince gets into the 'grafters' category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffling lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Russell will be in the hole so he can press the back line and cause havoc with their playing out the back I suspect, leaving the technical widemen to come inside and try to evade their markers when on the counter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbob Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 19 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: Sometimes people who are ITK tell me things and I’m always very flattered and I confess it’s great to know things about the club that other people don’t. At the same time, I’m aware the club really hates leaks so I’m discreet about what I reveal. For instance, when I broke the De Sart signing I did it in code, in the style of a seventeenth century scientist. They did that so later they could claim they were also aware of a breakthrough someone was claiming as their own work! Also, when I speak with coaches and managers one of their pet peeves is that players are only in it for themselves and will often reveal when they’re not in the side, giving the opposition a heads up. We’ve seen that at Derby and it’s deeply unprofessional. I’d always fine players for it. As sometimes happens I heard team news yesterday, but I make it a rule never share these things publicly until just before the teams are released. It would be wrong for the forum to reveal it to Warburton and allow him to adapt his plans accordingly. But, as it’s almost that time, I can let on that there’s no place for Hughes, Bent, Christie or Butterfield in the starting lineup. From a purely personal point of view and not based on any insider knowledge whatsoever, I worry about Will, having come back from such a terrible injury. He was playing well and bossing that first cup match against Leicester, but then took a knock and was forced off, leading to us drawing the tie. And since he’s come back he’s just been a very pale shadow of his normal self. I hope he’s OK. If he’s not we shouldn’t be taking any risks with him. Glad you told us that. Don't think I could have waited another 4 minutes for the teams to be announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
