Neverbefore 10,942 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Assombalonga is still undoubtedly our most talented striker in my opinion and with this break form goes completely out of the window and we should be picking a lineup based on talent and what shape the players have kept themselves in. Stojanovic Moukoudi Ayala fry McNair howson wing friend Roberts assombalonga coulson I prefer mcnair as a right wing back with howson inside but can be interchangeable really. Coulson instead of friend with tav taking the left forward spot is a possibility too but I'd like to see Coulson keep the position he had when we finished. Link to post Share on other sites

Regarding players I don't really want to see Friend back in the side, but I also don't think that Tav has played well enough to be a guaranteed starter. However Tav is the future and Friend is the past, so I'd probably stick Coulson at lwb and Tav ahead og him. Howson at rwb works better than McNair I think, so get McNair central which is also a position from where he has bagged a few goals. Howson never seems to score, so is of less use centrally.

SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 God it feels like such a long time since we played. I would stick to who was (sort of) playing well before the break and go with something like this: ----------------Stojanovic------------ -----Shotton--Moukoudi--Ayala---- -Howson-Clayton-Wing-Johnson- ---Roberts--Gestede---Coulson--- Bench: Pears, Fry, Britt, Fletch, Spence, Saville, McNair Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just to remind everyone in case you forgo( because i had): We are currently 19th and 2pts above relegation zone on 41pts. Barnsley, Luton and Charlton in bottom 3. Charlton occupy last relegation spot on 39pts In between us and that final relagation spot it is Wigan and Hull. Both like us on 41pts. Wigan goal difference is -12. Hulls is -14. Ours is slightly better at -10 Link to post Share on other sites

No McNair because he's a big useless donkey. The rest is self-explanatory. Link to post Share on other sites

What makes you think he will suddenly be good enough? Genuine question as I used to love him but I think he is finished. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he was ok in the game, went missing for periods, I remember him giving the ball away a lot early. He's a central defender playing in midfield.

When it comes to defending I think he's been the best of a bad bunch. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Gazette reporting Hull will not look to sign free agent Marcus Maddison in summer as to do so they would need to pay Peterborough a 6 figure sum. Hull apparently did a deal where they paid a 6 figure sum for an initial loan and then would pay a further 6 figure to sign him permanently. Obv other clubs are not in Hulls position and would not need to pay a fee at all for him. One for maybe us to look at in summer? Gazette suggesting our lack of interest previously was due to price tag. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

boroie 484 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 He was looking for massive wages too, that might rule us out. Link to post Share on other sites

Well given he wont be going PL he will need to lower his wage demands given impact covid-19 has had on EFL. The likes of Charlton and Birmingham could not meet his wage demands before covid-19...

TLF10 4,496 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hello, Quick question for those who usually post itk info on here such as @Smoggydownsouth, @Lurker, @diggerlad07 and I know there a few more but cant recall all the posters name. Sorry. Have you heard any info regarding incoming transfers or updates on players contracts during lockdown? I know given current situation chances of such info is limited but thought would ask in case you had any little snippets? Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
