Northern Canary 0 Posted February 12, 2005 clearly things need reshuffling. so what would you do?shackell given a trial? brennan left back?hux left wing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helsinki canary 242 Posted February 13, 2005 I clearly see no harm in trying Shackell in place of Doherty (Spurs had one of the worst defences last season). We were unlucky again to lose our right back today it made a big difference. I would also start with Safri in a sweeper role just to try to shore up the defence even more. Up front Ashton and Jonson. For all Mckenzies effort he just cannot cut it. Huckerby has lost his ability to score - his best role now is unlocking defences and setting up for Ashton and Jonson.

Hucks should be kept centre front ..... if there`s any criticsm that could be levelled at him it is that he should forget passing , and whack the ball in himself when the opportunity arises ..... to say he`s lost the ability to score is..... crap !! .............. so yeah .... stick back on the left ... and let us all " enjoy " watching his pinpoint crosses being wasted again . and again.. and again ..and again ..........

LinkNR9 0 Posted February 13, 2005 To use the phrase above, Hucks "has wasted chances again and again and again." Of our goals against Borough and WBA, Hucks has set up most of them playing on the left wing. Keep him there if we want to score goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beelsie 0 Posted February 13, 2005 I would wa''nt to change attitudes more than any thing else. I would want our boys to get at the other team, attack the ball as if they wanted it!I would be interested in the spirit shown on the pitch.I would not expect our boys to kick their opponents off the park, but I would wa''nt our boys to rekindle their last 10 minutes effort that was evident in the last home win.I still question our coaching approach it,s not working, and would expect that Shackel irrespective of age could add some much wanted pace in our defence. The formation should be 3-1 (being Shackel) 4-2. Todays post by Yankee Canary had some well balanced points, including the importance of encouragement from the crowd even though the spirit within the team seems sumwhat at a low ebb. OTBC!!!!

ZLF 274 Posted February 14, 2005 Defence and midfield - but options remain limited with current injuries. Worthy to actually pay some attention to the quality of play in both positions and realise that playing favoured people does not win you games - ability with a football is important, and more so than having legs and mentaility to run around all day. Not change 4-4-2, Hux/Ashton partnership, comebackability or attitude, which has generally been good.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anderz 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Gone appears the rhetoric of last year of standing toe-to-toe with the oppostion and earning the right to play. We appear to lack a strong sense of controlled aggression to mix it with other teams. Countless times we have ended a match without a booking - which suits Worthers as it looks impressive, but I''d much rather prefer to see a few yellow cards being chalked up in exchange for performances whereby we have challenged the opposition and given them a physical AND footballing going over. Winning the Fair Play award would be a good achievement, but not half as sweet as staying up (which I still think is achieveable). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
