Where Will Adam Virgo START - Hartlepool Away

[Mendoza]

Well, its time for the 2nd installement of the Virgo Velvet Bag game.

Only 6 people correctly guessed that he would start at right back against Peterborough, he didnt have a great game there, but it could seem likely that he will keep his place at the expense of recognised right back Andy Whing.

However, with Murray as a doubt, and Thornton not liked, who knows where he will start on our quest to keep a 3rd successive clean sheet against the free scoring Hartlepool

I voted right back. I think that Murray will play, even if only half-fit. If Forster was fit I would have voted 'striker' however I have a feeling that Anyinsah/Robinson may be playing up front with a half-fit Murray.

Thicky Adams has as good as said in the Argus today that he'll keep the right back slot.

The general concensus was that Virgs was average at best, at Peterborough, and Whing's performance over 90mins at Southampton on Wednesday proves he is over his phantom illness, so the sensible thing MIGHT be to actually play the recognised right back. But he won't.

 

[Mr Blunt]

Yeah i would play him right back thats where i would of played him from the start of the season.

Northern monkey in a northern monkey towm.

Adams should feel at HOME.

VIRGO will play at the expense of ANY player. Regrettably the VELVET BAG has dictated that this time its Whing. It could be ANY player next. Inc Kuipers.

I must admit, I thought Virgo looked good in centre midfield for the first few games of the season - as did many other posters for a while. Maybe with the return of McLeod this may happen again?

That is the answer for the rest of the season not withstanding a sudden improvement by Whing.

How does Whing 'suddenly improve' by not playing?

I was one of the 6 and MA said , in The Argus, he had a great game there against Peterborough so that probably answers your question

In training and for the reserves.

Its called MAN MANAGEMENT. Remember

Adams = GOOD

Wilkins = BAD


Tut tut Hans.

Actually come to think of it, a couple of games out, and he probably WILL 'improve' in some people's minds as they experience the alternatives.

Sorry. Yes, you're right of course.

I think a few people automatically assumed that as he scored 3 goals in the 1st 2 games that he played well in that position. I think a couple of his goals were from set peices, so his postion was not really relevant in terms of the goals.

Mcleod put in a couple of really good crosses on Tues so hopefully he will start to make a differance

I dont know if you were at Peterborough, but Adams was not watching what I was watching. Virgo was terrible, out of position, distribution shocking (worse than Whing)
Virgo was also lucky their goal was disallowed as he was beaten to the header by the number 4. 10 minutes later, the same happened, Virgo was beaten in the air by the number 4 in our penalty box, lucky for us the ball went just wide of the stranded Kuipers.

Yes but he's a 'smashing lad', so deserves to start.

 

[Taybha]

Virgo is quite a handy keeper yanno! Gordan Strachan said if his first choice keeper jimmy crankie was ever injured Virgs would be a automatic choice

 

[jcdenton08]

Poor Andy Whing

 

[Icy Gull]

Poor Andy Whing

He must have known the writing was possibly on the wall when the manager that got shot of him from Coventry re-appeared as his manager at Brighton.

 

[Smythe]

His position is center back.....he plays best at this position, play him there or no-where!!! What must the other players be thinking who are being dropped all the time from their correct positions to fit in in Virgo. Its getting a bit fuckin rediculous now.
