spudski Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Listening to the interview with NP he mentions changing formation. Also Sykes as a wide player and for some reason mentions Naismith started as a winger. I'm fearing some odd positional choices against Brum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Kal has played there since his early twenties, hoping it is indeed a decoy Wouldn't mind seeing Scotty push into number 10 behind Antoine and Nahki with Naismith, Williams and James behind should we go with the back 4. Or maybe Antoine and Mark Sykes in wider roles and Wells spearheading Edited January 11, 2023 by footie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykes featured as a “10” yesterday & if you look at his positional stats for Oxford last season, he played all over the pitch (rarely at RWB!) but the majority were as a right sided midfielder. Not convinced he’ll start the game but that is certainly an option, scored 8 times as well.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastonburyRed Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Rizla thin squad incoming. The more this season evolves the more it appears that staying up will be one hell of an outcome. Somehow get through to the summer unscathed, and then re-assess, I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Gutted for Tommy and our relegation battle if out for a long period, means Semenyo offer would have more than what we would have accepted last week. On the positive the window is still open for a couple of weeks, means we may need to sell Alex and get some reinforcements. Also goes to show, the risk of not cashing in on star players, you never know what injury can be around the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Naismith played in some wider positions at Wigan, 2019-20 time probably, according to Transfermarkt anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big dilemma for OTIB: - is playing Naismith as a winger a case of square peg in round hole Answer: - if we win it won’t get mentioned - if we lose it will be a ridiculous decision.

(obviously ignoring the fact that most if his career was as a wide man) I'll call it now, 3 days before the game. It would be a pathetic ridiculous decision to shoe horn him in the side there. If he's not good enough to get in the team in his normal position, bench him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly - but not sure a relegation battle with the kind of atmosphere we have seen at the last few home games will be beneficial to his development but I guess some young pros sink or swim. We must be looking at the loan market at the very least for a forward, despite Pearson not liking to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Pring going back to left back. Basically the team that was for most part (Weimann injury, Naismith coming off for Williams) finished against Swansea.

Nobody (certainly not Nige) is suggesting playing him in a different position just to “give him a game”, they are saying he might play in a particular position for the benefit of the team overall, because of injuries.

I guess he's not ready for regular Championship football yet. If Martin is set to leave and Nigel doesn't want to use Weimann as a pure striker, we'll need a loan striker as reserve (Semenyo + Wells + ?).

I wonder if even the loan market is accessible without either: a) Managing to offload some wages to fund it. b) A player sale...we all know which candidates are likely there. c) Parent club subsidising it greatly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
