North Bristols Cider Army Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 GJ has said on a few occasions that he doesn't like changing a winning team, do you think that he will drop Savage for Marcus on Boxing day? Savage hasn't really impressed me so far, but he seemed of play well today, or so it sounded on the radio,What do you all think, I would rather have Marcus then Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart has premiership pedigree and, while Savage was excellent today, gives us more fire-power up front. On a side note, does anyone else feel that Savage is the kind of player who the opposition always seem to have? A tall, clumsy but powerful forward who always wins the headers, and even though he isn't as skilful as anyone else on the pitch, always manages to have a hand in a goal. The kind of player who scores against us for Colchester on a wet Tuesday evening. Anyone, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargla Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Shame his goal was off side. Would have been his 1st league GOAL hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I think its a tough decision for Johnson. Savage or Stewart. Savage was excellant at Vale and on todays performace doesn't deserve to be dropped.That said Stewart has that extra bit of class..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny k Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Tough one this.. Bas was superb at Vale but Marcus ran his socks off and played a big part in the Huddersfield win - depending on the tactics GJ wants to use at Gillingham - it was more long ball at Vale which probably suits Bas more whereas the Gillingham pitch may be easier to play passing football on in which case Marcus is the better bet.

Guest BCFC_JOHNERZ_88 Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 savage played better than stewart has most matches ,i don't see why he should get a stright start just because he was in the prem, i think we should give savage another go but still its upto gj at the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Faith Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Away from home and the way Savage played at Vale it has to be him for the next game. He gives a great option away from home in particular as he can hold the ball up then take on players and always looked like something was going to happen when he had the ball, I don't really see how he can be dropped. If it was at home it might be a bit different, but I say the same team should start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've made a good point about the next game being away.I agree that Savage would be a better target man and hold the ball up better than Stewart but what you lose without Stewart is his goal threat and his all around classy play. Its still a tough call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatWill Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Why bring Stewart back?Savage played better at Vale then I've seen Stewart play all season.Savage holds the ball up just as well, actually RUNS at defenders, causes considerably more problems physically and puts in 110% which I (and many others) have questioned from Stewart this season...Maybe for Rotherham I'd bring Stewart back, but for what is sure to be another tough, physical game at Priestfield on Boxing Day - stick with 'ar Bas.

Pete1975Legend Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 The only change we need from Saturday is Russell for Wilkshire, I think Russell has proven in the last two games why he has never featured at a higher level, He is okay as back up but better than an international I don't think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Stewart for 60 - 65 minutes, then bring Savage on for the last 25 minutes/half hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell is much more commited than Wilkshire, and is willing to tackle etc. For me Noble looking just as good as mWilkshire and he also is prepared to work harder. Wilkshire will get back in at some point if he isn't sold but at the moment there is no need to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
