sh1t_ref_again Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I get some of the changes, but cannot understand how Korey is starting in front of Pack, KS has been useless whilst Pack has generally been good, but LJ does not seem to like him Not an 11 I would want to stake my future on 1 Quote Link to comment

People weren't happy with Wednesday, so LJ changes it up, but that just gives many a chance to have another go at him, before the games even started. God forbid they wait to see what happens first!! How about people have been watching Johnson "change it up" as you put it every single week both in original team selection then at half time once he's realised the folly of his original team selection and after waiting to see what happens first (we are getting beat nearly every week) perhaps they are fed up with seeing yet more changes and have decided to call him out before the game this time? Einstein got it right but Johnson clearly sees something in doing the same thing every week and expecting different results!!!! I don't care if he keeps us up, which I just don't see is within his level of ability tbh, the Tinkerman is done as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment
desert Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 2 of 6 new signings in window already dropped. Rolls Royce in the garage etc etc. If I was paying for all these signings and all their wages and then watching how they were being used - or not - I'd be furious. Beggars belief that the paymaster appears content. 1 Quote Link to comment

Energy my arse . Duric ??? What do you want him to do ...Tammy and Dujric out injured would you go with 2 upfront...or would you pack the midfield with someone who can hold the ball up which taylor can't do. idiot Quote Link to comment
Alessandro Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Djuric would have been in if not injured. Taylor wouldn't lead the line. Korey's been knocking on the door and Brownhill looked knackered. Edited February 25, 2017 by Alessandro Quote Link to comment

cityexile Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Ah, we are on to plan S b) vi. If it is about energy I can only assume he has seen something in training about fitness levels. If half that team are knackered by half time and are not match fit, then LJ is going to get an even bigger slagging. Not going to lie, it was difficult enough with Tammy, Duric injured and Taylor still carrying a bit of a worry it was beyond tough this one. A line up that screams desperation.

I think most of the changes are reasonably obvious. It would've been Djuric up top alone had he not fallen ill. Really? Ok, after saying he'd be picking a team packed full of energy, I didn't quite expect to see Wilbs up top alone, a struggling GON in the middle with the returning from injury Korey. In fact, I'm not sure there could have been a line up picked with less energy... maybe the addition of Tomlin. More over, last time we saw Vyner he was decimated at home by a Brighton side who aren't as strong as the Newcastle one we face today. Although with Little injured and Matthews a complete liability, I'm guessing there's not much he could have done there. I'm afraid I fear the worst. (Although great to see Korey back. I still feel he could have a massive part to play in saving us this season.) 2 Quote Link to comment
Dolman Block B Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 He really has lost the plot!!! Hegeler, Taylor and Tomlin should have started. Engvall not even in the squad. Totally 100% clueless 3 Quote Link to comment

Marlborough Red Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Engvall not even on the bench when we have Tammy and Duric injured ! Surely more energy than a 37 year old Wilbs ? Complete waste of money if not being selected . Shame- as he has not been given a chance to impress . 1 Quote Link to comment

Offside Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Let's wait and see. I can see the logic of Wilbraham being in the side with Djuric injured, and at least Wilbs will bring some know-how to the team. Taylor will come on I imagine when Wilbs tires. O'Neill is also experienced so I can see the logic of that, too. A fully-firing Korey Smith would be one of the first players on my team sheet. Lack of match-sharpness might be a problem today.

Wholesale changes from a side that has just turned in one of the most inept and gutless performances I've seen in years. I'd be pleased. Did you expect him to start four strikers and set up to get thrashed? It's an extremely negative 11. We looked much better last 20 with O'Neil & Tomlin. Didn't need 6 changes. And another change of formation. I wouldn't have expected him to start a youngster who cost us all 3 goals in his last league start for us vs Derby. Or start 2/3 players who aren't match fit. Or bang on about energy and start with Alby up top alone. Admire the outlook mate but this looks like one of the most 'shorehorned' 11 we've put out this year. Newcastle get an early goal and they could ruin riot. 1 Quote Link to comment

RedEyez Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 In my opinion, I think that line up is more or less bang on the money. Taylor cant play up front on his own and with Milan out injured, Wilbs will be better at bringing other players such as Reid, COD and Cotts, into the game. I think perhaps the ONLY change i woulda made it by putting Reid in CM with GON and bring OUR BEST player (on his day) Tomlin into the CAM position as Reid gets the best out if him cos hes the only midfielder that seems to wanna pass forward! I got a randomly good feeling about this one.... been saying all week this is the kinda game we will win where the opponents become complacent thinking all they need to do is turn up.

He's picked a squad of professional footballers, pretty much in the positions you'd expect. Our two centre forwards are out, so he's brought back Wilbraham, who hasn't let us down before. You don't know how fit or unfit players, but you just can't wait to condemn, can you? I really despair. Can you do nothing but complain, even before the bl**dy match is underway? All part of the fun. I am here at St James and committed to supporting City. Still allowed to comment I hope. Quote Link to comment
Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I don't know what all the fuss is about this is just another in the long list of 'did you expect anything from this game' excuse if we lose. What I am waiting for is a heads up on the next game we should be expected to win. This for me is yet another expect nothing and then I won't be so disappointed and a ray hope of hope if we do get something. I am not so sure that we even have enough time to bring in a new manager and honestly expect him to change things around. To be honest I am even contemplating taking Mrs Bung shopping, I am sort of at the couldn't give a shit stage. 1 Quote Link to comment
