allyolly Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Sounds like our manager is not happy with certain players......who would be after letting a 2 goal lead slip? Also seems like he's not afraid to speak his mind which can only be a good thing in my opinion. A few interesting selection options for Saturday......what difficult decisions will LJ make?

Lrrr Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 O'Donnell and Flint maybe? At fault for goals 2 and 3 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I think I'd play Moore over Little, I'd think about dropping Flint but probably not do it. Play Smith though. Especially if O'Neil is banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadman Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 well we don't have any real options up top. I suppose you just have to guess who the 2 players are. flint has cost us a few goals of late, maybe him, lee missing the pen was the turning point but players miss pens. we have options in defence and midfield so looking at lees face(like thunder), we will find out soon enough. at the end of it all, we got beat from a winning position against a side who have looked average so far this season.

Pezo Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I worry that if Lee doesn't do something to help Flint then he will end up like Fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Lee sounds like a broken record sometimes, he knows the players not playing well enough, he can see we are shipping goals and not doing enough defensively and also not putting away all our chances. Make the changes and hopefully we'll see the difference, a loss against Derby will just yield the same words again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 As others have said I can see defensive changes for Saturday starting in goal. Assuming Fielding is 100% then he could start. RoD was at fault for the second goal last night and after the mix ups with Flint on Saturday his confidence looks shot. Flint seems to struggling as well and maybe spell on the bench is required. Ekstrand is fit again and maybe Moore is an alternative option but I'm not sure though whether LJ thinks he's ready for the SBC yet. We'll find out on Saturday. With GoN missing Smith is the obvious playing replacement but if Flint is dropped who steps up as leader? Decisions, decisions........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Korey Smith for the suspended Gary O Neil is a no brainer. Also if you were Fielding you'd be knocking on the manager's door after a tough week for ROD. It is only fair to let Frankie stake a claim for the jersey that is why you have two good keepers. I don't agree with dropping Flint. He has been immense for us and two dodgy performances do not warrant dropping an inspirational centre defender when the replacements are either untried at this level or building up full fitness. A fresh Freeman will probably be back in the team and Golbourne might start also. Moore for Little would make sense. Wholesale changes should be for clubs in crisis and that is not us.

chipdawg Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 O'Donnell made a couple of mistakes but he also made some great saves. Flint looks out of sorts, LJ needs to have a word with him at least. Little (who looked decent going forward, less than decent when defending) and Tomlin may be sweating their place at the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snufflelufagus Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I would suggest with a player the quality of Ekstrand waiting in the wings then it would be Flint. Otherwise if he isn't dropped after being at fault for 2 Saturday and probably 1 yesterday then the other players waiting in the wings will loose heart.

Ignore the two great seasons and drop him after two games? Did zero wrong last night other than last goal after being bombarded. Someone about wants to drop our inspirational centre back for a kid, against Derby who have some great strikers, even though Flint played well last night.

eardun Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Not sure Korey is fit looking at the third goal yesterday. He seemed to pull up. If so, I see Pack, Brownhill and Reid starting to bolster the middle of the park in O'Neil's absence. I have a feeling Flint may get experienced support rather than be dropped - 352 with Ekstrand coming in. 3 centre backs also helps ease Ekstrand back. Also enables Little and Bryan to have more of an attacking focus. I'm assuming Mathews isn't fit yet. I have a feeling Paterson may come in for Tomlin. I'd stick with O'Donnell given form before last Saturday. So: Rod Eks Flint Mag Little Bryan Reid Pack Brownhill Paterson Tammy (Of course it will be nothing like that and Tomlin O'Dowda Golbourne and Freeman will all start! Good to have options though!)

As bad as O'Donnells mistake was....I can't think of to many other mistakes he's made this season to warrant being dropped. Flint on the other hand....I've said for a while now, he is not the player some people on here believe him to be.

BCFC_Dan Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Going by the comments, and not the performance, which I haven't seen, I think he's more unhappy with the mental strength of some players rather than the errors. I suppose he could be referring to a lack of concentration but I read it more as a tendency to disappear when the games get tough, which doesn't sound like Flint. It will be interesting to see what changes are made on Saturday, though it's probably important not to read too much into them at this stage.

BRISTOL86 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 No one is undroppable and the team should be picked on form, so if LJ feels certain players are under performing, at least we are finally in a position where we have options in all positions.

The Original OTIB Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Fielding will come in for O'Donnell. The latter shocking for the second goal. Tomlin will be dropped. For his performance; and whoever suggested the penalty situation should get a kick. Tammy is on such a hot streak he would have no doubt buried the penalty. Bryan will go into left midfield. Goldbourne to left back. Pack at fault with the corner goal as he did not jump with his man. He will stay in though. Smith will start for O'Neil and captain. O'Dowda out and Reid in on the right. I'd ship out Little as well but we don't really have an option there. I think Brownhill will stay in but I'd rather have Paterson behind Tammy.

Bat Fastard Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I doubt if Smith or Ekstrand are fit enough to last for the whole match. LJs choices may not be as many as some may imagine. LT will be so wound up by missing that penalty and being substituted, that he may bounce back with a bravura performance against Derby - I would be surprised if Lee did not really get under his skin over this and to motivate him.

Kingswoodactor Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think we'll get a reaction from Tomlin this Saturday, so keep him in the side. Paterson to start though in one of the wide roles behind Tammy please. As long as we're not playing against big Derby centre forwards, I'd have no problem in playing Moore alongside Maggers. Moore looked quick, confident, and composed when I watched him for England U-20's the other week. And after all, we did spend around 1.5 million for the lad!
