Finally got his chance, 3 matches in a week, picks up an injury, Warnock out and can’t get a look in again. Not sure what’s happening there but prettt big statement putting McNair in MF ahead of him (or JLS for that matter) I don't know if it's a big statement or not really. Payero isn't a like for like replacement with Howson, is he? Completely different roles in the team. You could maybe drop Crooks into Howson's spot and play Payero where Crooks was but that's about it. I can't think of a single reason to select JLS. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

McNair is (currently) the best alternative I guess? If Tav or Crooks were out, and Payero didn't come in, then that would be a statement 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Feels like quite a slow back three with Bamba, Fry and Peltier in there, especially if we intend to push right up. Mind, Madine isnt exactly speedy I suppose. That's assuming Dijksteel is at wingback rather than Peltier of course. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I think we could see Dijk and Jones as the two wing backs here. Lumley Bamba Fry Peltier Dijk Crooks Paddy Tav Jones Onel Sporar p.s: All the talk of game being called off and they local rag saying they got a fairly strong 11 and bench out. Think they manager was playing an element of mind games yesterday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I feel we are well overdue giving Blackpool a beating ever since that Charlie Adam masterclass they always seem to be a bit of a bogey team for us. Hopefully we can put finishing into match our performance at the weekend this evening and get a nice 3/4-0 win. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what’s happening there but prettt big statement putting McNair in MF ahead of him (or JLS for that matter) I'm less concerned about it now we seem to have a long-term manager in place, I feel more confident we'll see Payero get time when he earns a chance. It's not really an easy midfield to break into either if Wilder sees him more playing in the Crooks or Tav roles. As it is, he's picked players who have done the job for him so far even in Howson's absence. Peltier was doing well before his injury and Bamba, despite one or two big slip-ups, is still a relatively solid player to throw in there. Does give him an option to swap a defender for a more positive midfielder later in the game and drop McNair back into defence too if things aren't going so well, too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
