McCourt, Calderon, Holla, Ince

[Marty___Mcfly]

Should be the first names in the team sheet. Why aren't they starting? We need some experience, passion, and just some character on the pitch. #lackingeverything

 

[WhingForPresident]

Can't agree with McCourt but certainly the other three.

And the answer is because our manager is a gormless prick.

Totally, utterly, completely, ****ing agree with this

Agree....

Bigger, stronger and (bar Ince) more experienced!! Though Ince has a heart of a lion when on song!

McCourt looked like the only player likely to create something but he hardly got the ball. Tex flattered to deceive.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Tex played well today but obviously ran out of legs after 70 mins, but agree these lads should be staring games

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Tex always runs out of legs after 70 mins!

 

[Silverhatch]

McCourt made more forward passes than the entire midfield in the time he was on.

 

[Grombleton]

McCourt has the skill and balance but not the pace
Tex has the pace and skill but not the balance

If we would somehow fuse the two together we'd have a passable creative dynamo. Does anyone know a mad scientist?

Calderon, don't be stupid.
Bruno is streets ahead.

We must have a clause that says Gardner has to play - he is shit. So disappointed.

04 Hughes
07 Colunga
14 Calderon
20 McCourt
22 Holla
24 Ince
31 Walton


the bench is better than the starting 11!

This is true. I would start at least 5 of those. Not enough character in the team and not enough players fighting for shirt

I thought Tex was shocking. Lightweight, incapable of controlling the ball and unable to play a meaningful final pass. I'm sure he has bags of talent but he is not what we need at the moment.

 

[sllugaes]

How Ince could be left out of the starting 11 after his role at Derby, and when he came on against Fulham is beyond me. How on earth can you leave him out over others. Something is going on!
Ince must be wondering what the hey is going on - Hypia just does not rate him - says it all hey.

 

[Rookie]

Disagree about McCourt, Calde would be good but I prefer Bruno. Why Ince and or holla are not playing is a mystery.

Playing tonight (*source = wikipedia so may not be entirely accurate)
JFC = 68 professional games since 2012
Gardner = 34 professional games since 2011
March = 27 league appearances as a professional since 2013
Dunk = 65 professional appearances in his career (63 for us between 2010 and now)
Teixeira = 18 professional games since 2013
unused sub
Ince = 41 league appearances in his career between August 2012 and now


As the OP has stated, a general lack of experience on the pitch tonight, especially when we have players in the squad who are fit and available and can provide that and help guide and develop these youngsters as well as provide oraganisation and leadership. I feel that our central midfield has needed some more experience in there rather than play both the relatively inexperienced JFC and Gardner together, as its a big ask for them to do everything and drive the team when they are still on a steep learning curve themselves.

Kemy and Holla reportedly played really well together away at Leeds and we won, but Kemy hasn't been involved since and Holla is now seemingly out of favor - why, if they helped us to a rare win haven't they both been involved more or played together since?

 

[GolfingGull]

Why he is picking/playing all the loan players? Only Bent is probably justified as Baldock is injured. Tonight could have started :

-----Stockdake----
Bruno-Hughes-Dunk-Chicksen
- McCourt- Ince - JFC
March-- Bent-- Colunga

Im sure we would get a lot more fight & passion form our own players rather than those on loan.

 

[BensGrandad]

The only one of the four I would have picked is Holla the others are a reminder of why we are so poor.

 

[Ulloa's Soul Patch]

Holla and Ince would be my choice of CDMs to play week in week out..... well that's my fifa midfield anyway
