Robert N. LiM 4,774 Posted October 8, 2022 We're unchanged. Very surprised. No Cantwell on the bench either, which is disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,472 Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) I'm usually behind Smith but I must say I'm disappointed to see no changes. I thought the Reading game demonstrated a need to freshen things up, and several pegs not quite round enough for their holes. Even just to get minutes in the legs for those that haven't started in a while, to keep things ticking over going into a very tough sequence.

AJ 1,238 Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Hugely frustrating with reverting to playing Sargent out of position as I'm sure Josh is too. Guess that's the problem trying to fit two lone strikers in the same team Edited October 8, 2022 by AJ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rather see us playing two up top with Sargent and Pukki side by side.. God knows Pukki needs support and playig alongside another striker is what helped him become finlands all time top goal scorer Edited October 8, 2022 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess that's the problem trying to fit two lone strikers in the same team I have noticed in the past couple of games Sargent has looked very frustrated. There was one instance where Pukki couldn't quite cut the ball back to him and he was raging, throwing his arms around and everything. Very out of character. My personal suspicion is that he's been told to keep doing what he's doing and he'll be on the plane for Qatar. And he's then been shuffled out onto the wing, going from match-winning striker to 4 out of 10 wide target man. Pukki is still Championship royalty but I can understand if Sargent is a bit narked off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 2,006 Posted October 8, 2022 This not only risks wasting Sargent, but also Ramsey. He contributed almost nothing going forward on Tuesday and he also did little to provide support for Byram. I also don't know why Hugill gets the cut ahead of Cantwell. We have two players on the field, either of which could take the lone striker role if one of them gets injured. Do we really need Hugill more than someone to link attack and defence? And when are we going to see Sara? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
