[quote user="paddycanary"]The fullback positions look to be problematic at this early stage. We all hope & assume that Lewis will continue his solid progress from last year, stay fit and solve the issue on the left. Not a guarantee by any means. Husband, Stiepermann & Pinto look to be Farke''s senior back up options here, none of which inspire huge confidence defensively and will be targeted by the opposition. I think Husband should be given another chance tomorrow - good opportunity for him to gain some confidence and game time. If Pinto or Stiepermann gets the nod ahead of him, it doesn''t bode well for his future prospects here. If Lewis is available, get at least 70 minutes into his legs. On the right, Marshall looks vulnerable defensively and will also be targeted. If he is to continue in the "flat back-four" formation, deep-lying midfielders will be sucked out of position and left exposed. Pinto, Aarons, Passlack and perhaps even Godfrey look to be the other options which should be ok for top-half championship level. If I was picking for Stevenage, I''d like to have a look at Aarons (even half an hour) on the right and give Husband another shot (and get Jamal involved at some stage). Although I think Farke will continue with Marshall on the right and Pinto on the left, bringing on Jamal for the last 15mins. On paper this game, being at home, should be a good opportunity to iron out some issues, get some much-needed game time into a few players while still progressing in the competition. Of course Stevenage will be going all out for the scalp. To amend by earlier post, this could be a good game to have a look at Buendia too. Lots to look forward to.[/quote] To be fair league two is about Husbands level so he will probably shine in this game.

Oxborough Aarons, Zimmermann, Hanley, Husband Godfrey Marshall, Thompson, Cantwell, Buendia Srbeny Subs: McGovern, Passlack, Odusina, Mclean, Hernandez, Idah, Spyrou

Very much agree on this Rock Bus. The chances of a keeper getting injured/sent off are very slim, when was the last time we had to make a goalkeeper sub? Would be great experience for Aston Oxborough and free up another place for say someone like Buendia who we could have had on the bench Saturday.

How is it bad management? You could turn it around and say we have 12 homegrown players but only put the 7 required in which means 5 of them would be watching in the stands? People are always going to miss out thats why you have a squad to be able to rotate for fatigue and cover injuries.

Moving on from today what are your thoughts for Tuesday night team wise. Do we make 11 changes and go something like this: Matthews Aarons, Godfrey, Zimmermann, Husband Thompson,Trybull Passlack, Cantwell, Steiperman Srbeny Should be enough to beat Stevenage

Bloody Ajax, can’t beleive they drew. Always next time atleast indie got some money in the pot! Hope everyone’s heart rate has returned to normal following that today! See you Thursday nutty

Last minute goal for MK keeps the 6 alive. Shame about the 5 away wins, one Bristol City goal away from that, gutted.

3 out of 5 away wins coming in at half time and Boro winning in the six just need MK to nick on second half.

Unless you moved seats!

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="lincsy88"]Likewise to Indy I have evening engagements so getting my picks in now. My final 6 are based on four which have multiple picks, one which was going to be my own and one I just liked the look off so: AJAX v Heracles MIDDLESBROUGH v Birmingham MK DONS v Bury ROSENBORG v Stabaek RANGERS v ST Mirren (My Pick) DOMZALE v Aluminji All home wins. Nutty I will paypal you a fiver can you put that on the following away wins for me mate: Huddersfield v CHELSEA Morecambe v EXETER Bolton v BRISTOL CITY Rochdale v PETERBOROUGH Dundee v ABERDEEN Sorry if I didn''t pick you there was some great selections and I hope I''ve picked the winners.[/quote]Thank you Lincsy. These look nailed on to me buddy. I''ve placed them with Bet365 where the potential return is an exciting £92.33. Here are the details : - Middlesbrough - - 8/11 - - 15:00 Sat MK Dons - 10/11 - 15:00 Sat Ajax - 1/8 17:30 Sat Rosenborg - 1/3 12:00 Sun Rangers - 1/3 15:00 Sun Domzale - 2/5 19:15 Sun So that''s a nice even split between Sat and Sun and here''s hoping we are all following the game in Slovenia on Sunday evening rooting for the sixth result to come in[:)]Thanks also for sending me a fiver for these exciting five away wins. I''ve placed them with Bill Hill where the return was boosted to £441.03. Here are those details : - Exeter - - 5/4 - - 15:00 Sat Bristol C - 17/10 - 15:00 Sat Peterborough - 5/2 - 15:00 Sat Aberdeen 21/20 15:00 Sat Chelsea 6/10 15:00 Sun So there''s four tomorrow and the last one on Sunday. Wouldn''t it be great if we were all supporting Chelsea to get these home on Sunday.Good luck Lincsy and all you PUPs[:)][/quote] Didn''t realise the away wins would bring in that much, heres hoping I''ve picked some winners. Nervous now as I''ve never done the final six and I don''t want to lose! I think Chelsea play today Nutty so that one should be all be done and dusted by 17:00pm this afternoon.

I still say to this day if he hadn''t disallowed that goal we would have stayed up that season.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Rhodes Looks like he was on loan in 1995 according to his wiki, never played a game for us. I was only 7 so can''t say I remember him at all

[quote user="Big Vince"][quote user="CANARYKING"]We’re lucky to have this sort of access[/quote] Why are we so lucky? It''s not as if these people are getting us to the Champions League, EPL, winning cups right, left and centre. I would rather have a club that hated its supporters but won trophies than one which is two-faced and wins nothing.[/quote] Vince if you''ve got nothing positive to say then dont say anything. Steve and Stuart have taken time out of their personal lives to be with us next Thursday and I am sure will give honest and forthcoming interviews so why not come down and stop hiding behind your keyboard if you have questions for two men who I believe are doing a great job and moving us forward.

Bump. Only a week to go until this now, sure to be a great night. Bring all the family it is half term after all and only £3 for adults and a quid for kids, bargain! I for one cannot wait.

Cheers for that intro Nutty, very kind of you, your a good man and have grown into a good friend over the last year or so of me knowing you. I will do my best to pick some winners this week but will need help from all you awesome PUPS please! For my Norwich pick I will go with Jordan Rhodes to score anytime and I shall be back Friday evening with my selections, will probably do them about 8pm ish so get them in before then you lovely lot.

Krul Marshall, Klose, Hanley, Lewis (steipermann if lewis not fit) Leitner, Tettey Mclean, Pukki, Hernandez Rhodes Subs: McGovern, Zimmermann, Srbeny, Buendia, Thomspon, Trybull, Cantwell.

[quote user="Mello Yello"]Let''s just see how Husband gets on against the Baggies on Saturday (that''s if he''s selected).....He may even play a blinder?....[/quote] I think I''ve got more chance of winning the Euromillions tonight and I havent bought a ticket!

I think KIO has it right in giving a full back praise for getting forward isnt the best bit of praise for him, whilst he done this I also felt he was out of position an awful lot, didnt pick his man up and was really not good defensively and gave the ball away a lot. I thought Farke was picking both Husband and Steipermann and the later would play down the left and help as defensive cover but Marco played from the right which was a strange one and meant Brum attacked alot down our left with a fair bit of joy. I get the loss of confidence thing and you can see that in Husband but there is also a lack of ability which I cant ever remembering him having, I guess theres a reason he was third choice for a club in the same league as us. Dont get me wrong I would love nothing more than to see him and every other signing we ever make do well but alas that doesnt happen and certain moves dont work out for whatever reason and I feel this is the case with Husband and the sooner he moves on the better for all concerned. I would even throw Max Aarons in there over him, I know hes a RB by trade but has shown he can do a better job than Husband.

2.5 at best.

[quote user="TIL 1010"][quote user="lincsy88"]Slightly off topic but along the same lines I''ve just booked an open return on the train for £14, decent price I think. Just a heads up for anyone making travel arrangements![/quote]Travel on a Groupsave ( 3 or more ) open day return and it is £12 each.[/quote] Didn''t realise that Til, there was only two of us so missed out on saving a couple of quid there!

Thats the thing LDC Husband try hard, his body language was slumped and as well as looking rubbish on Saturday he also looked lazy and uninterested in his body language. I donno maybe its lack of confidence. I also don''t get that a supporter should support every player even if there having a terrible game. In any line of work if someone was constantly putting in below average performances despite being given opportunity after opportunity to improve you would start to get frustrated with them so this is no different. I booed him on Saturday I will admit that, I think hes awful and isn''t upto Norwich Citys level and I have just given up on him ever improving, doesn''t make me any less of a supporter than anyone else

Husband isn''t a scapegoat hes just a useless footballer who should never pull on the yellow and green ever again.

My transfer window would be made up if we could find someone to take Husband off our hands.
