Ideally... Speroni, Clyne, McCarthy, Gardner, Parr, Zaha, Ambrose, Jedinak, Garvan, Murray and Scannell.

Hooray! A team that actually WINS games!!

I wasn't impressed with Nolan at all the other night, I thought his lack of movement was dreadful, and only covered by a very good positional sense. I thought I'd be much more impressed with him than I was.

In the blink of an eye, I would take:
Lambert and George Boyd.

Thinking about this logically we need more physicality, better defenders (ideally a left back) and a new box to box midfielder. Therefore:

Sol Bamba: Big, strong, quick, wins headers, scores from corners all the time AND he can play defensive midfield if needs be. If we bought him alone we would be further up the table.

Kevin Nolan: Scores goals, is a wanker, but has all the experience and know how we are missing. Only draw back is he might be a bit confused by our style of play having spent most of his career watching the ball fly over his head in Allardyce's teams.

Nolan doesn't do anything, he does nothing in midfield, he's too slow. All he's good at is finding space and positioning.

Not having a pop at your opinion but you clearly contradict yourself in the same sentence. Nolan doesn't need to have much movement because his Premiership experience allows him the ability to read the game much better and to be where he needed to be. I bet if you saw Opta stats of the game he would have covered an average amount of ground yet performed key duties brilliantly.

Glenn Murray and Kevin Nolan, but only if he promises to stop doing that stupid chicken celebration.

Not a contradiction at all. I believe he gets away with it because of his positional sense, but don't believe he has the "engine" anymore, that I have always associated with the player. Yeah, it's a bit 6 / half-a-dozen as he may not have shown that side of his game in that one game, because he didn't need to, but I just felt he didn't cover teh ground that I expected him to do.

Stats may prove me completely wrong, I wasn't focussed on him all night, but drawing this back to the thread subject, he is a player who I was underwhelmed by, rather than watching and thinking "wow, what a player", which is what I generally think when seeing Boyd, albeit, rarely for a whole 90 minutes when he plays against us. :grin:
