Silvio Dante Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 In his post match interview, LJ indicated they’d have a look at Fams sending off to see whether to appeal. Having seen it on Quest - don’t bother. I don’t think there is that much bad intent, but he kicks out three times with someone on the floor. It’s a red, pure and simple - we shouldn’t appeal. So, that brings us to the next three. As we know, Afobes out. Fams now out. Semenyo, to me, looked not really at it tonight. This leaves our forward options as Rodri and Weimann in practical terms for the following games: Wigan (H) Barnsley (A) Cardiff (A) So, what do we do? Fam out may be a blessing v Cardiff as it will force us not to go long, but on the three games, what do we do up front? 1? 2? Personally, I think LJ can have confidence in Moore in a 4 now so I think that will drag us to 4 at the back vs Wigan. I see it as Rodri with a fluid five behind (Weimann, Palmer, Brownhill, O’Dowda, Massengo - although I think tonight indicates he needs a rest), but anyone got other thoughts in view of our personnel limitations?

ExiledRobin Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 On the red button, with no replays I wondered why it was a red but having seen the replays clearly was. Where's nagy? We need him back to give massengo a breather. Think eliasson is our biggest threat and credit to palmer when he came on. Not sure how to fit 5 in midfield at the moment.

Lew-T Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I’d probably go 433 or 4411 without Fam. It worked well with Paterson and Bobby together a couple seasons ago. Maybe Palmer and Weimann would form a similar partnership in a similar formation? Something like this... Bentley Pedro Moore Williams Rowe Eliasson Brownhill Massengo O’Dowda Palmer/Rodri Weimann 433: Bentley Pedro Moore Williams Rowe Brownhill O’Dowda/Massengo Palmer Eliasson Rodri Weimann Szmodics could even play a big part in the next 3 games.

Davefevs Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I was convinced from section a4 of LS that Fam had stamped down on their player. Having seen it back, it was a series of kicks, and a red. No point appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Depends on the formation but for me look better defensively with a back 3 of baker moore and williams . Then i think its either rodri weimann front two nd palmer behind or palmer given a AM role behind Weimann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 From the way it looked from my position at the time, Fam was kicking out more at the player rather than the ball but having seen the tv replays all his kicks are aimed at the ball, not the player & if Diedhiou had actually connected with the player, does anyone truly believe Pearce would of got up off the floor instead of rolling around for 2 minutes? Because Pearce isn’t down for any length of time at all, so that would suggest that Diedhiou hasn’t actually connected with him that badly!

Ska Junkie Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 May be silly but with Kalas due back, why not play Taylor Moore in a defensive midfield role? Needs must I suppose. He can certainly play there a la Webster. TM is finally looking some player to be fair to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Only 3 games. Rodri, Weimann and Semenyo should be able to cover us and get us through. We may also see Szmodics get some minutes. May all mean some slightly odd formations, maybe a 3511 or a 451 here and there but I think we'll be fine.

OldlandReddies Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Semenyo was having his best spell in the game just before he was taken off so maybe he can still play a part. Just needs a goal as he looks desperately short of confidence. Clearly he must be showing up well in training for LJ to be giving him the nod over others. I'm not going to give up on him just yet. I'd play Andi and Rodders up top on Sunday though on tonight's showing with the option of Semenyo coming off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 When you consider we're missing most of our first choice defence, have barely any fit / available strikers and our midfield is hit by multiple long term injuries, we're doing pretty well aren't we? We're going to have some squad when they're all fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a good finisher though? When does he actually finish anything? But when you are down to barebones stranger things do happen. I can see Marley getting the nod and paired with Rodri, a surprise combo which might just come good. We had the ‘accidental’ pairing of Weimann and Taylor when Diedhiou missed six games through the spitting ban and that wasn’t too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see him second half when moved central? Outstanding. I think it's clear now he struggles on the left wing, especially without someone as good as Dasilva behind him. For me he can play numerous positions, most of which he is better at than left wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstart Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Whilst we are down to the bare bones optionwise I agree it's time we give Watkins a go in place of Semenyo against Wigan. As much as I want Semenyo to succeed he is just not bringing much to our game at the mo - Wigan tend to have some big guys at the back and I think he would struggle again to make an impact.

Watching the replay, Fam was trying to free the ball from under the guy who was lying on it by kicking it free. It looked as if Fam was sticking the boot in to the bloke which is why it all kicked off...... Fam was too aggressive in his attempts to free the ball and unless there is a different camara angle I can’t see the red being overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs another op on the foot, it seems If it doesn’t clear up in the ten day period post injection that they’ve given him. That’s what happens when players do not have the sense to stay away from International squads when obviously unfit. If he needs an op we can write him off for the season and we will need to pay again to replace him. No wonder the management are so pissed off with that situation, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
