Richie J 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 He was poor last year, and this year he's not done much in general play for long periods of a lot of matches... but midfielders with a goal scoring knack are few and far between. I think against the top teams next year he'll be anonymous - he just needs far more time on the ball than he'll get against those sides - but I'd like to think that he'll be able to weigh in with a fair few goals against the bottom half teams as he has done this year against Championship teams. That might be optimistic, but I can't see Hughton dropping him, so I reckon it'll be 4-5-1 with him, Barton (if fit/available) and HOPEFULLY an atheltic, strong, ball winning midfielder alongside them, and Jonas and Routledge out wide. Whether or not we get that quality centre midfielder will decide whether or not we can get away with carrying Nolan for most of the match and hopefully allowing him to spend his time getting on the end of things in the box as he has done this year.

Dr Gloom 22345 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 one thing's for sure. nolan/carrol up top will be way too pedestrian for most premier league defences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
