Whoppy 593 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Wow what a team that is!! I would imagine fatigue played a part in a couple of players not playing but very happy to see Fry back and to see Bolasie and Fisher start. Why not, we know the rubbish Akpom and Assombalonga will produce so I’m happy. Not as thrilled to see Spence on the wing, but I assume that will be to keep things tight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

To spend the money we've spent on Fletcher, Assombalonga, and Akpom, and then bring in a winger to play up top... I don’t think that’s fair, Watmore is a miss in that front 3 and I don’t rate Spence but Johnson is half decent at getting the ball in the box and why not try something different? I bet Bolasie was going all out to impress in training. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

edinboro 804 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The thing with that team is it can pass the back and retain possession and has pace. If we can win the ball in midfield we have a chance. And it's very solid at the back. I can see the logic. It is a slap in the face for our strikers - but they deserve it. To be fair, they could all be replaced in terms of goals and overall output. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Ha ha. That lineup is more Pulis-esque than Tony Pulis himself. Warnock will have everything crossed that we can shithouse this game. God awful. Fletcher might be unfit, Britt might be going and Akpom is a fairly bad striker but to omit them all is baffling.

Smokedsalmon 1,247 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just now, Whoppy said: I don’t think that’s fair, Watmore is a miss in that front 3 and I don’t rate Spence but Johnson is half decent at getting the ball in the box and why not try something different? I bet Bolasie was going all out to impress in training. Mate you can't just whack a winger up front on his own because he's ran about in training. And who is Johnson meant to aim his crosses at? Bolasie? Who has never played centre forward and is now being asked to get on the end of balls ahead of the top of the table's defence, at home? It is absolutely shocking mate. I'd love to have pie on my face in a few hours time but this game ends Norwich 3-0 Middlesbrough. Link to post Share on other sites
ChipBarrington 313 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I suppose 1 good thing about having Bolasie up top is we should expect his touch, control and passing to be above what we are used to so we may actually hold the ball and bring people into play. I think were going to win this with a spawny 1-0 undeserved counter goal or get pumped 4-1 with a late Fletcher tap in. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Warnock made his intentions clear when he said he saw bolasie as our Antonio. Not sure why everyone is surprised he has actually done it. Spence at RW is the bad choice for me. This game was always gonna be tough, it's a good game to experiment see what you have in bolasie up there. Lose the game, get January out the way and reboot the season in feb. I'm fine with it tbh. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
