lucky green trainers 0 Posted December 30, 2005 i hope it doesn''t go pear shaped after 4 straight wins, but playing 4-3-3 requires the midfielders to cover loads more ground. can 34 year old charlie play 3 games in a week to the same standard? IMO no. Instead, should worthy rest charlie for PNE and put robbo on left side and dicko on right.If not, I fear a second half burnley performance may happen and open the door for leicester to walk straight in.

LinkNR9 0 Posted December 30, 2005 There is an old adage in football to the effect that you should never change a winning team. If Charlie fades, then Etuhu, Hendo or Rossi can be used. I think that the adrenaline should keep Charlie going for at least 70 minutes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huddy 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Of course he is. We only have etuhu after are 1st 11 who are any good and fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macdougalls perm 0 Posted December 31, 2005 He''s got to, and as pointed out, Etuhu can replace Charlie in the second half. Anyway, if Worthy changed it and we lost he''d be lynched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted December 31, 2005 Why not, so long as we have ample cover on the bench? The midfield may be the problem, and Charlie may find the going hard, but why not include two midfielders on the bench, perhaps Rossi, Spillane. Could Colin move to midfield if Charlie of others run out of steam?The pressure we were under at Bramall Lane in the seond half was not because Charlie or anyone else ran out of steam, it was because we had only three players against four in the midfield, and the Blades pressed. I thought that Charlie kept going well. If we had a weakness, it could have been Robinson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like Leicester are exposing our full backs with average wingers due to our lack of width AND FORWARDS BEING TOO IDLE TO COVER ON THE FLANKS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
