formerly known as ivan Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 The only one I think would make any difference is Naismith, and that would only be if played in midfield as someone to get stuck in but also have the ability to play football. Twine maybe but can’t comment after one game. The rest would make no difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty James is a more calming influence in midfield than Williams or TGH 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James - had injections into Achilles looking at it game by game Atkinson - We won’t see him this season with the hamstring injury he’s picked up Twine - Supposed to have been back training yesterday, so maybe Swansea? Naismith - No idea what happened there Tanner - Saw Bristol Post he should be back for Swansea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Naismith and I’ve said on other threads that I think we play better football with him in the side. sadly though on recent evidence, even when he comes back it won’t be for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s why I’m not passing judgement yet. He’s had a tough start here and it’s too early to judge him but I’m old school and first and foremost I like my defenders to defend, so for me George Tanner is our best RB Just now, Mendip City said: I think he looks like midfield would suit him (if/when fully fit). He has played there for Aberdeen but I believe he said himself that right back was his best position 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgrsimon Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 It's getting to the point where we might have to need players to 'play through the pain' in order to stay up? I've said before but look at Southend this season, operated with a 14 man squad because they were a financial shambles, from August to January. You cant tell me that they weren't playing players who medically shouldn't have been playing. They also made up a -10 point deduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I like mccrorie for his get up and go attitude, hes an athlete,, but as it stands there isnt a lot of goal threat from any of our wing backs. as for naismith, he can pick a pass, but I believe he has another year on his contract, we should try to free up that salary for another striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 9 minutes ago, Clevedon Red said: He was suffering with a new a-hole torn by Wes Burns. He certainly got skinned on a number of occasions. Bringing on Burns with 30 or so to go was a clever move in as much as he was fresh and Pring has been carrying knocks. I’ve noticed a couple of posts about McCrorie. Personally I like him as he wants to make things happen. I’m sure that will be coached out of him soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no mean feat. I like his energy and physicality. Brings a bit of intensity to our play. He looked like he struggled a bit on Tuesday but despite a turgid team performance on Saturday it was him injecting a spark with a couple of drives inside off of his first touch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stortfordred Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 James may be past his best but his reading of the game/positional sense is still top drawer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
