JBFC II Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Has to come in for flint imo, flint is average at this level I'm afraid and hordur is a massive step up on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 He is very overrated on here. Good prospect but Flint and Wright both much better, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjtsmith Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Fear not, everyone is outraged at the moment, but I'm sure next week he'll play and misplace one header then everyone will criticise LJ for dropping the other CB, seems to be how this forum works... We have a good, deep squad now, these things will happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 My guess would be: Transfer window + interest = wantaway - 'value not met' = unhappy x manager not happy = not in team The physics if football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I can see LJ suddenly thinking that the last half hour means we can go to a back three, and he'll play Wright, Flint and Magnússon. I'd like to see Hordur at some point play LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Magnuson can also play left back, maybe try him instead of goldbourne. Put personally I would start him with bailey. If he's fit he should at least been on the bench ahead of vyner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 The injury came at the wrong time. I'd like to see him given a go at left back. I feel he could make that position his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's a bit of a icon at City but judging on the facts he's actually not very good. Dont think LJ will drop Flint unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Hordur at some point play LB. A back three of Wright, Flint & Magnusson does not exactly require a knowledge of rocket science to work out, let alone football. But here we are again in the position of LJ not seeming to know how best to set up the team or which players to use for particular games. Today was crying out for more attacking intention but the first half was possibly the worst first half performance all season at home, and that is going some tbh. 2 upfront from the start would have made life a lot more difficult for Rotherham. So is now the right time to go to a back 3, with 4 difficult away games coming up? Probably not considering most sides will look at us and see the potential for an easy 3 points. And the most obvious place to target is our right back as Wednesday tried to show, although ironically both their goals actually came from progress made down their right (our left). So unless we can conjure up a couple of wing backs out of nowhere, I would suggest it's going to remain 4 at the back, and Magnusson's only chance will either be at left back or if there is an injury to Wright or Flint.

Tears in rain Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Mentioned this with the mid week game and I can't work out why he can't get on the bench as at least CB cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hegeler can drop in to CB so I think LJ's playing it safe with the bench, giving himself as many options as possible, as any tinkerman would like.

steviestevieneville Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 LJ Said he needed a rest before he got injured . He's used to about 30 odd games a season in a slow paced league but to counter that he needs to play left back or replace flint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs20ciderarmy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 If Johnson didn't think little was match fit he probably wanted a right sided defender on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think that is my point, that a successful 30 minute spell will have LJ tinkering again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbbppp Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 The only way Mags can play is if he plays left side of a back 3 imo. Anyone else like to see this team at home, very attacking. Away from home obviously one up top is better, especially with the away games we have coming up..

Aaron-Bcfc Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Don't really rate Magnusson but was very surprised he wasn't even on the bench yesterday. I'm not sure he'll make for a good left back either but could be worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrews1522 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ashton said in his interview that magnusson has played more football than they wanted him to, so they're probably just giving him a break now that we have Wright in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
