who to play next game?

with holt, pacheco, lansbury and jackson playing so well, who do we play.

hoolahan will probably not be able to play so would it be pacheco or lansbury in his role:

If everyone is fit I think we''ll see the same team that started today.

 

Although you don''t often see a player left out after scoring a hat-trick - that''s Jackson btw, not Holt ;-)

Tough one, especially if Hoolahan isnt fit.But its refreshing to have this sort of a problem, we now appear to have serious threats sat on the bench as well as starting on the pitch! I think Pacheco could take Wes''s role if hes not fit and jackson to start with Holt.

I was just going to give the simple answer of Swansea.

Pacheco and Holt up front for me - the pair seemed to hit it off and 2 assists for the first two goals swings it for me. Hoolahan starts if fit with Lansbury taking his place if unfiot. Jackson to stay on the bench.

Simeon L Jackson and Grant Troholta could be an interesting forward line..[H]

i''m sorry but you can''t put someone on the bench who has scored 3 goals in 20 minutes. Yes, he probably will be rubbish next game because he''s playing a championship side, not league 1 standard (scunthorpe). If we don''t give him a game then what does that say about our ''earn the right to play'' policy?

So what would you suggest instead? Assuming Hoolahan is fit, would you drop Pacheco after such a good performance? If not, who else? Why start messing with a starting line up that produced our best result in a long while? Although Jackson scored a great hat trick, Scunthorpe were dead and buried by the time he came on and their whole attitude made it easier than normal to score. 3 goals in no way makes it an automatic start for the next game.

i doubt hoolahan will be fit to play, if he is;

----------------holt----jackson-----

-------------pacheco-----------------

---surman---hoolahan-----crofts-

--------------------fox-------------------

---tierney-----whitbread---martin

-----------------ruddy------------------

what about that..very risky but if we keep the ball well we will outscore them.

it''s quite a statement. what do you think?

Pacheco from the start setup the first goal, Played an unbelievable through ball for Grant Holt so was effectively responsible for getting them down to 10 men by threading through that undefendable pass. Pacheco was a nuisance all game and was making brilliant runs and playing intuitive football with Surman, Hoolahan, and Holt like he''d been here all season. He looked tired which is the only reason i think he was subbed. He hasn''t been playing first team football all season.Jackson came on against a very tired, very unorganised, and very noncommittal side who had lost their will to fight. You can only score against the team you''re put in front of but while his hat trick was very good for his confidence and our goal difference, it had no real impact on the game.To "earn the right to Play" he will now have to commit himself in training every day to outshine Pacheco to get that starting berth.I''m not trying to detract from Jackson''s achievement yesterday, but with the performance Pacheco put in, he doesn''t deserve to be dropped either. If Hoolahan does have a strain then that''s the answer to all our problems and you can have Holt and Jackson up top with Pacheco in the hole.

We have played three at the back before and it didn''t work against ''lesser'' opposition. I don''t think when we are second in the league and go away to a team such as Swansea, only a few points behind us is the time to play with only 3 defenders

I agree with all of that but would say that if Hoolahan was injured I would rather Lanbury played in his position. Lansbury has been playing great but has not been starting which just proves how well our team is playing, and I just think that like Hoolahan he is suited to that position and would deserve a start with keeping Pacheco up front with Holt. I''m over the moon Jackson''s goals yesterday, but I believe he may be best suited to the bench and come on if the game is a draw at the point but we want to go for a win - that way, Swansea would also be pushing for the win, so would be pushing the line up, but also tiring and I believe Jackson could exploit this more, as opposed to starting.

pacheco each & every time. his positioning, technique and creativity far outweigh what jackson has to offer, weve seen him fumble along all season and while it was great to see him hit the net (the loanees might actually have been the kick up the arse hes needed) pacheco looks like hes got the potential to go on and be a top international footballer. lets use him while weve got him (also he looks well up for it, did you not notice his celebration for holts goal, pretty rare for loan players to have that kind of passion/commitment in their first game for a club)

If Hoolahan isn''t fit to play next week, as seems very possible, then replacing him with Lansbury is the only change that I would make to the side. That''s tough on Jackson after he scored 3 yesterday, but Pacheco looked a class act and linked up well with Holt. Those two in attack would be our best starting attack at Swansea, I think.

It''s nice to have this problem, though!

[CaptnCanary 0]

I agree - its same starting 11 or Lansbury in for an injured Hoolahan as the natural replacement. Jackson will be on the bench and he will have no complaints.
