wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted January 30, 2021 There will be disappointments between now and the end of the season, but when you look at the squad available and about to become fully available to us, combined with how we've got through the injury crisis to be top right now, we do look very well poised indeed.

Clint 221 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Sorenson isn’t a long term left back option and despite being good overall, was pretty ropey last weekend. The new guy is quite clearly our first choice left back so why wouldn’t he play? I also think their signing of Bolasie may have potentially fast tracked a start.

Farke described his last league game versus Bristol as the best performance from a left back in the league this season... however, excited to see Giannoulis straight in and a proper left back now in that spot - and he certainly must’ve trained well to immediately dislodge Sorenson!

Canary dwarf 221 Posted January 30, 2021 It will be interesting to see our new left back , He looks amazing on YouTube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 513 Posted January 30, 2021 I would like to see Sorenson along side Skipp. I hope that Rupp is up to speed now. That does look a very strong team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Farke has the opportunity to play Sorenson it will be interesting to see who he brings off I'd be surprised if Rupp plays the full 90 bearing in mind he's coming back from a hammie. Suspect Sorensen will come on at 60 or so in Rupp's place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,162 Posted January 30, 2021 In his penultimate game Sorensen was outstanding .... Farke said as much. Last week, against Barnsley, he looked a bit jaded. A rest was due. It's not really being dropped when the player held a position for which he was stand in only. The credit he built up during that stint will have served his confidence well enough for him not to be unduly put out by today's omission, imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to say, looking at how he played at left back I reckon you've got someone who could cover the whole defensive line, mainly play defensive midfield, probably do a very good job as a box-to-box central midfielder and at a push I suspect there could even be a slightly unorthodox number 10 or right-winger/right-midfielder in there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted January 30, 2021 Love this line up. Two quick fullbacks for width and two mobile CDMs allowing them licence to roam. Really looking forward to the game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made 13 appearances for Sporting before joining Boro, 1 goal and 0 assists. I would expect him to be pretty rusty, but even though he may only have had one or two seasons in which he was a real unit and fantastic player.. The second divison may bring him back to his best.

TheGunnShow 5,938 Posted January 30, 2021 Are we sure Rupp is not Ruppcic or something? Or Vrancic should be Vranupp?? Apart from the slightly different hairstyle, they look like twins on that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, he's a real player, great control, always seems unhurried, tough tackle, strong. Great find by recruitment dept. Super value for money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted January 30, 2021 Dont think we should be shoehorning Sorenson in for the sake of it? Is he our first choice left back?...no Is he a first choice central mid, ahead of Rupp ,off the back of one cup game playing there vs Coventry?.....no McLean will be back on Tuesday, so that will be even less of an argument Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted January 30, 2021 If the new LB is any good that is a devastating starting line up at this level. If we can keep that side fit we really should be sweeping teams aside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
