unique 434 Posted January 14, 2019 The players that have unexpectedly ‘stepped-up’ this season have presented Farke a real headache if he ever has a full squad to choose from. Assuming McGovern takes up a place on the subs bench, and abiding by the homegrown rule, who would be the six players on your bench, and who would be the unluckily player to miss out on your squad?

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,738 Posted January 14, 2019 Wonder if there's a way back for Remi Matthews or were all bridges burned?....for the sake of naming a keeper on the bench who in all probability wont be used - but has the right passport, Farke could still have Srbeny on the bench for instance, who he favours bringing on when we're chasing a game and it needs mixing up in the opposition box?

ron obvious 1,501 Posted January 14, 2019 Don't forget Thompson's poised to return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,513 Posted January 14, 2019 We hear again and again how important the spirit in the group is. I can't see Farke dumping McGovern mid-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 15, 2019 I think the side we had out in October/November was our best and will be the first choice when all are fit again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,139 Posted January 15, 2019 Gosh! We do seem to have an excellent squad. No wonder we are up there in the league. A little run of good results will see us back on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Starr 519 Posted January 15, 2019 It amazes me how we've gone from complete financial meltdown and turmoil to this. A very good championship squad and plenty of assets, pushing the automatic positions. I cannot get my head around just how good a job the powers at be have done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll upset the anti-deliaites. They have nothing to latch on to at the moment....thankfully. Long may that continue..... 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tough on Godfrey, Vrancic and Stiepermann. Have I got enough homegrowns there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 260 Posted January 15, 2019 I wouldn't want to leave Stiepermann out... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe Aston Oxborough? He's just back to fitness after a 3 month injury. He's already been on the bench for the away match at Reading and apparently Farke rates him highly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted January 15, 2019 Considering the fact we sold Matthews despite the fact he is English and not a high earner I would assume he isn't good enough. IIRC Farke did take a look at him in some games in a pre season tour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted January 15, 2019 Hernandez to be on bench where his efforts have been recently been rewarded. Cantwell seems to be a favourite of Farke. That means 4 English in starting 11 Aarons, Lewis. Krul and Cantwell. Godfrey to miss out to Klose and Zimm on bench with Hanley, Thompson as one of midlield subs with Maclean. Rhodes and Srebeney as striking options. That's us covered for English quota, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otis62 6 Posted January 15, 2019 Just seen David Freezer on Twitter post team he thinks we should field on Friday which includes Stiepermann, didn’t think he was expected to return this early ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivvo 257 Posted January 15, 2019 As I understood it he went to Bolton on loan with agreement he would be signed permanently in January, to all intents and purposes an agreed sale. Obviously their financial situation has derailed this and they can’t afford to even keep him on loan, but yes he was given chances in pre season and I’m guessing not thought up to it, shame.
