Tunni Back

[severnside gull]

His loan spell at MKDons is over so back at the Albion.
Missed MK's last 3 games through illness but seems to have done ok and been well recieved by the fans.
Will he now get a chance before the season ends and if so will it spell the end for Virgs?

Elphick was poor on Saturday, maybe he will get dropped. Does Virgo come in or do we give Tunnicliffe a chance?

I'd say Tunnicliffe is better footballer, but Virgo possibly a better defender (well older and wiser)

 

[Husty]

im sure he will get a runout

 

[severnside gull]

It worries me that Elphick continues to make more (and more costly) mistakes than anyone in the side but as he seems now to be our unofficial vice-captain and press spokesman I can't see he will be dropped.

Virgo and Tunnicliffe in at Gillingham with el Abd reverting to left back would send a powerful message to the under-performers but I don't think it will happen

I think that Tunni has tremendous potential but unless he has learnt very quick at MK Dons I would not expect him to start a game again this season although he will probably make the bench.

Look at the goals MK conceded with him in the side and you may have you answer....

Do we want to be dragged into a relegation battle

tunni is the only one out on lone i would have back great potential gus can make him in to a player

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Elphick was poor on Saturday........

Quite, couldn't distribute his own Christmas Cards imo.

Certainly, when we talk of potential I would say he has a lot more than someone like Hoyte

McNulty?

Even taking into account the view of some on here as regards Elphicks performance on Saturday I would still sooner have him in the side than Tunnicliffe at the moment. That is not to say that I would have the same opinion in August aftera preseasons training.

Can't really see Tunni getting a place at the moment. I think he got away with quite a bit earlier in the season when he was as bad as most of our defenders. Considering how well Virgo was playing before his suspension, he clearly has to be the next choice centre back.

Will be interested to see how he does next season. He maybe has potential but then I suspect almost every club has defenders who they believe to have potential, whether he will be good enough to break into a defence (hopefully) challenging at the top of the division is open to debate. I have to say I have my doubts.

Elphick showed classic examples of his 2 biggest failings on Saturday:

1. Very poor distribution of the ball, either a 60 yard hoof, or a nervous short pass, either back to El-Abd or accidentally to the opposition.

2. Leaning on the striker to make a header... he does this an awful lot in some matches... if the ref sees it, he could give away a lot of free kicks.
