Guest Eamer Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I don't really get to many away games if any at all but just wondering how our huge two centre-backs performed today? There's been a lot of talk about how Vasko would play seeing the last time he had a game for us was back in October and how McCombe would survive without Fontaine or Carey along side him. Wondering how the both of them coped without either of our two regulars.Wanted to see Vasko given a chance at some point and he scored which is great but was his defensive performance as good as we hear about for his national team or were we saved by Basso?

Port Said Red Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well we kept a clean sheet but it does sound like their shooting was almost as good as yours. Nobody is going to win a bike in the Burnley team for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well a clean sheet seems to say they done wellbut i don't think johnson will keep both in the team for coventry and i think vasko deserves a spell in the team for being patient and takin his chancealso mccombe has looked a bit shakey in recent weeks so i think carey to come in with vasko and fontaine in for mcalister at left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basso for Brazil Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well a clean sheet seems to say they done wellbut i don't think johnson will keep both in the team for coventry and i think vasko deserves a spell in the team for being patient and takin his chancealso mccombe has looked a bit shakey in recent weeks so i think carey to come in with vasko and fontaine in for mcalister at left backAfter watching coventrys game tonight against ipswich, coventry have alot of pace in thier attack so i feel, even though our big men did well today against a physical burnley side, we need to bring in fontaine for a bit of pace at the back and after all he has done nothing wrong this season to get dropped, apart from get 5 yellows. It is just whether we stick with mccombe or vasko along side him. Thats unless carey comes back and if he does then i would agree with your back four!

Guest DanC Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 After watching coventrys game tonight against ipswich, coventry have alot of pace in thier attack so i feel, even though our big men did well today against a physical burnley side, we need to bring in fontaine for a bit of pace at the back and after all he has done nothing wrong this season to get dropped, apart from get 5 yellows. It is just whether we stick with mccombe or vasko along side him. Thats unless carey comes back and if he does then i would agree with your back four!Everytime we play against Coventry all they try to do is get the ball up to Adebola. Having Vasko or McCombe up against him could be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 we need to bring in fontaine for a bit of pace at the backIf you watch Fontaine carefully, he is actually one of the slowest players we have.He makes up with this by reading the game very well, but his lack of pace (and that of Carey) means we are so often forced to defend closer to our penalty box than we would all like.I am a big fan of Fonts, but pacey? No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double-trouble Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I don't really get to many away games if any at all but just wondering how our huge two centre-backs performed today?

Basso back to his best on a difficult pitch . Top quality .We lost a lot of ball in midfield , given away cheaply to regularly which at times put us under pressure .Should have been over in first 15 mins as we had 6 or 7 good attacks and chances . Coventry a little lively up front and just worried the central back two ( although probably tallest in the league , not the quickest ) will get dragged around more than Burnley did .Great away win after WBA . WELL DONE THE BOYS . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatcham red Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I thought both centre backs did well today. McCoombe seemed to relish the responsibility. Vasko gave me an early palpitation when playing the ball around the edge of our box early on, but looked comfortable all game.Funniest thing during the minute's silence was our team lined up, arms linked, with Johnson and Vasko standing shoulder to er, um....hip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Didn't do to bad, a few scary moments. May have been diifferent if they had two up top. Blake was playing more in the hole behind the frontman. A massive improvement on the shambles in the black country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
