Orlandi out for 2 months

[perseus]

Left side is very weak. We needed another left-sided midfielder before this.

Wouldn't mind Nooney back right about now....

Awful news. Absolutely awful!

Crofts - there's always one!! That's now 10 players.

The squad is stretched in the striker position, which is why the club have said one is coming in.
We are light on wingers but have managed with playing just one for two seasons, with March on the bench, we can scrape 3.

We might not be able to play expansive football with Crofts, Kemy, Andrews, Bridcutt, JFC, Buckley, Dave, KLL, Ince and Barnes, but we certainly are not thread bare.

It's up to Oscar to make it work, and I'm blooming well sure he can.

CMS and Hoskins aren't in the debate.

You might as well start counting the development squad midfielder's if it's quantity you're after. The fact remains Orlandi is an ATTACKING midfielder, we've been desperate for him to be back in the team to add balance as Oscar couldn't afford to use 2 wingers as part of his 4-3-3 because if one was injured we would be in the It's no coincidence we looked a threat when we had 2 wingers against Millwall. With Orlandi injured we're back to square one with a kid, an out of form Buckley and a struggling Kaz.

Not good news at all.

Get Vicente back on a PAYP deal?

Noone on loan?

This is very bad as he looked awesome vs Millwall. We don't really have much cover for him, we need to make another loan signing to cover his loss.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Step up Solly March.

 

[BensGrandad]

Yes that'll do it, get the most crocked player ever back in the team, that'll ease the injury woes.

He said he was fit from January but Gus wouldnt play him so let him come in and prove it on a pay as you play deal, with the option of a 12 month extension if he proves he is fit and is successful.

Orlandi is class and any team would miss him, nobody is arguing that point.

Oscar has barely shown any desire to play 4-3-3 and even if he did he's certainly never played to a rigid formation.

We looked threatening when we had 2 wingers because Millwall came for a draw, got the bonus of a goal and were desperate to hold on to what they had. Who's to say March couldn't have made a similar impact in those circumstances.

Kaz didn't seem to be struggling too much during his 20 minutes.
Buckley has spent more time in the middle than on a wing.

Your omitting Crofts' spending most of the season attacking.
Assuming player of the division Bridcutt is due to return, the solidity he alone brings will free up Kemy or Ince or Andrews.

As said earlier all this would be valid if talking about Ulloa, but we are not.
We are talking about 1 of 9 midfielders, 11 if you include Barnes and March.

You obviously haven't looked very closely - post number 4 on this thread links to The Argus report on this story.

So I'm expected to read every post?

So I'm expected to read every post?

A brief scanning does help

 

[AZ Gull]

This is a disaster. The two players we cannot afford to lose are Ulloa and Kuszczak as we have no adequate replacements whatsoever and would lose matches as a direct result of either of them being out. After that, I rate Orlandi and Bridcutt as our only other two top-quality players. It's about time the 26,000 x £30+ was put to good use by signing one or two of the players we need.

Yeah, 'cos right now it's just burning a hole in Tony's pocket, isn't it

It wasn't a long thread, looking back through what had been posted would have been sensible considering the fact that you wanted confirmation that the story was true.

Okay mate, whatever you say.

Why Worry? In life there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are well,
or whether you are sick.

Now if you are well,
You have nothing to worry about.

And if you are sick,
You only have two things to worry about:
Whether you get better,
or whether you die.

If you get better,
You have nothing to worry about.

And if you die,
You only have two things to worry about:
Whether you go to heaven,
or whether you go to hell Now if you go to heaven,
You have nothing to worry about.
And if you go to hell, You’ll be too busy shaking hands with Your friends,
that you won't have time to worry.
So Why Worry?

I know there is a lot of frustration, disappointment and even anger here, so I suggest a bit of music to keep everyone's spirits up...
