Haydnator 45 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Don't worry, you're still old enough to be an interest for a professional footballer and pewewbes or lack of them shouldn't be an ishew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4270 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I don't see our midfield struggling at all in this game. I see our forwards struggling to get the better of a shawcross marshalled defence and our defenders struggling to contain a much more expansive Stoke front three than in previous years. Still think we could squeeze a win if everything goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobos 298 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'll be over the moon if we get a result, because they're not easy to beat. How many times have we beat them? Feels like a few at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1245 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Colo and (most importantly) Mbemba both out for the next two games. Anita, Dummett, Mitrovic, Colback, Cisse & SDJ all available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Fuck sake Lascellas and Taylor as our centre backs, we are fucked Most managers will try and be defensive because of how shit our centre backs are but McClaren will still try and set the team like we are Barcelona, the absolute moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21961 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 taylor and lascalles has the potential to be our most comedic central defence pairing since bramble and boumsong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35109 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Remember when Bramble and Boumsong had a period where they looked like a very good partnership (when Boumsong first arrived)? I think most people thought that Boumsong was going to be a class act and he was a calming influence at the back. In retrospect, Bramble had one of those purple patches that occurred every now and again when he was full of confidence and everything was going right for him and Boumsong looked good because Bramble's form made it easy for him.

Actually I think people of being a bit unfair on Lascelles. He's being judged on very little actual game time. I'm not saying I expect anything from him in very testing circumstances tomorrow or that those two together isn't a massive concern, but I'm not going to write the kid off just yet.

Alex 35109 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Aye, it's too early to make a call on Lascelles I think. Although, given the club's track record on developing youngsters, perhaps we should write him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Aye it laughable really when you consider our basic transfer philosophy is to bring in young players, develop then and sell them on for a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21961 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The only thing I remember him doing of note so far is getting himself stupidly sent off. Not saying he won't ever go on to be a decent player but him and Steve "the pointer" Taylor doesn't exactly inspire confidence for the relegation run in.

gpirlo68 0 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I guess with Anita back he can play fullback Anita Lascellas Dummett Janmaat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I can't see any point in playing any more players out of position. We're best off playing those two in the centre and proper fullbacks in the fullback positions. Fuck me did I just describe Dummett as a proper fullback!
