gissing canary 2 Posted August 26, 2015 AN rang the changes last night to give some players a chance and rest some of the key players who have done well.Senior players who havent been on the bench or played yet:TurnerLafferty (ok he has had some injuries)Players who havent featured much:Elliott BennettTony AndreuGary HooperAWOL:Grabban - has been discussed a lot. I would happily lose him.For Turner and Lafferty, I assume both are as good as gone.Bennett and Andreu. Its not positive, they got a few mins at the end of the game, but Dorrans and Howson both got the nod over them. Dont seem in favour.Hooper - transfer speculation and not being on the bench last night suggests he is out. Hasnt seen action.AWOL; has been discussed to death and dont think anyone will cry if we get 6-7m for a back up forward.Overall I sense Bennett stays around, but that it doesnt look rosy for the rest (if we get offers). Would happily lose most (Grabban and Hooper take the cash and sign Austin....). 3 Strikers would then be RVW, Jerome and NEW forward.Everyone else seems to be in a good place and we have competition, assuming 1 forward and 1 centre back arrive.

Making Plans 936 Posted August 26, 2015 Re Lafferty - has been injured & only started training this week. Probably not going anywhere in this window Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammond1612 92 Posted August 26, 2015 You didn''t mention VOO from last night, thought he had a good game, close to my MOTM, so would be happy to see him stay and compete. I agree that hooper and turner are as good as gone. Bennett and Andreu I can see going out on loan to get game time. Lafferty is a strange one but maybe we might need him to stick around because of the grabban situation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number 9 0 Posted August 26, 2015 Isn''t Turner at Sheff Weds with Hooper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted August 26, 2015 Although Laffs has been injured, he''s said he is fit now and could''ve played last night but was not selected - a dig at the manager no doubt via tw@tter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
