Buckley & lualua

[tommyseagull]

According to sky sports news this morning they are both fit to play tonight. Good stuff!

 

[Stat Brother]

Personally I'd bench them till Saturday.
Fingers crossed the same team can do the job at Boro x 2.
They are certainly less likely to concede which would be plenty good enough, if backed up with 3 points on Saturday.

I agree we looked very solid at Middlesbrough and IMO its important that we put a stranglehold on the midfield and play with plenty of composure and patience. Keep it tight at the back and take our chances as and when they come along - which they will at some point!

 

[algie]

Rest Buckley and take KLL

 

[finlaych]

I don't think we'll have any problems scoring so I'd give them a rest. Maybe bring someone of the bench if we end up chasing a goal

 

[Rugrat]

Gus makes a habit of saying all are fit or likely to be fit when they aren't. I'd be surprised if Buckley was given his recent history. If Kaz is fit I'd like to see him start and give one of the others a rest. Plus without Little they may be exposed down their right side which he could nicely exploit

I think it's more likely Barnes will start given Saturdays team selection.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

I think it's more likely Barnes will start given Saturdays team selection.

Thought Barnes wasn't available until Blackpool game?

 

[KJP]

Play same team keep them on the bench and bring them both on for last 10 minutes to stretch the game and get some "breakaway" goals

That's what they said last Saturday, even though we knew they weren't fit (due to fans being told at the dinner).

Exactly. It's possible, but I'd be more confident if SSN were saying they're not fit.

I think it's more likely Barnes will start given Saturdays team selection.

Suspended.

Same team with Lua Lua on bench. Bench should be strong against Blackpool.

Well Ruggers, it wasn't Gus that said they were fit in that report, it was Sky. The Argus quotes Gus and he is far from unequivocal. He says they are improving and that Kaz is doing better than "Buckers". He does say that TK is fit to play, but that doesn't mean he will.

If I was Gus, I'd be keeping the manager of Alex Ferguson's loanees guessing too, esp given the injury to Little.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Well Ruggers, it wasn't Gus that said they were fit in that report, it was Sky.

Sky are very good at reporting what is going on at our club but usually inaccurate.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Buckley on bench maybe tonight. KLL back for Saturday perhaps.

With Barnes back as well on Saturday, the squad should be a strong one for Blackpool.

 

[BensGrandad]

They did well up North on Saturday so keep the same line up for tonight with possibly one or both on the bench if needed, if not keep them until Blackpool..

 

[Meade's Ball]

Rest Buckley and take KLL

I'd go along with this. Buckley with his gambolling and tense legs we need the most to create space in the coming fixtures, whilst the thunderbullockness of KLL i can see being more devastating when called upon against the Petes tonight.

 

[stugbhafc1]

Be nice if vicente played some part

 

[chucky1973]

based upon history of Gus saying players are fit, none of KLL, Buckley, Thomas or Bruno will be in the squad!!

 

[Cullip4]

Pretty sure Lua Lua has not travelled as his beast of a car is not in the car park!

 

[Triggaaar]

Well Ruggers, it wasn't Gus that said they were fit in that report, it was Sky.

Sky said that KLL and Will could be fit last Saturday. Wherever they're getting their info, it seems to be fed the same rubbish as everyone else.
