gitto 0 Posted January 2, 2016 Only one striker on the bench. Does that mean Grabban and lafferty are gone or on their way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted January 2, 2016 good attacking lineup. i''m liking that!we look better defensively without Olsson who i''d actually like to see played on the wing instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,784 Posted January 2, 2016 It probably just confirms what we all Know, Jerome and Dave are first two strikers to play 1 up, they both are also first choice if we need to go 2 up. If one gets injured and we need to go 2 up then 2nd front man will be Brady or Redders, both better all round than Grabban and Laffs ( though i cant fault Laffs, he''s done everything thats been asked, he just hasnt been asked to do that much ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 2, 2016 Happy New Year everyone.What a poor quality game so far. If either side were facing a top side they would be 3 down by now.We can''t afford to be so profligate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted January 2, 2016 Nice defensive covering by Hoolahan!Rudd sure appreciated it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kanadyan Kanary 129 Posted January 2, 2016 Couple of concerns at this stage: Can''t see who our best player is - no-one standing out.We are giving the ball away a lot in the middle of the park.Shane Long is winning a lot of balls against our central defenders. Positive point - we have created a couple of good chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 2, 2016 I''ll take 0-0 at half-time with the chance for Alex to wake the players up.This is a winnable game for sure and a win would be huge for us being back to back and capping a fine Christmas period.How Mbokani hasn''t scored is beyond me. I''d prefer Jerome.If Southampton score first I can''t see us getting anything.This is a big half coming up in the context of the season.Redmond looks capable of something today.

ron obvious 1,711 Posted January 2, 2016 You really think Jerome would have scored from the half chances Mbokani has had? I don''t think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoda 0 Posted January 2, 2016 Our final ball has been poor today but we are in the game so fingers crossed.What we wouldn''t give for a Dean Ashton type player,it doesn''t seem to matter which forward we play they just don''t cut the mustard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 154 Posted January 2, 2016 Could be 3-3. Our passing improved compared to the Villa game. Great to see Declan gaining confidence. Mbokani should have taken at least one of his chances. We should take three points, we can do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
