Team vs Coventry - PLEASE GUS

[BensGrandad]

I really can't understand the need for El Abd to play midfield, it really is horses for courses we have a squad packed with midfielders and yet there is a call to play a defender there.

.

Because none of the midfielders other than Bridcutt can tackle and win the ball especially Navarro and Harley but at least Harley can pass the ball forward more than 2 yards. and

We need a ball winner in midfield to win the ball then give it to Bridcutt. Buckley Vicente Noone or Harley to carry it forward towards the opposing goal. The only 2 that could do that are either El Abd or Vincelot assuming Reyes isnt fit.

Where this Navarro was excellent against Barnsley comes from I dont know he did nothing and was the weak link in the midfield. His total contribution was one neat flicked short pass other than than he held up the ball from going forward and failed to make a decent tackle.

Sorry but that really is harsh on Navarro, he held the ball up well and passed it neatly, he enabled Bridcutt to push on. If not Navarro in that role play Vincelot as he has the added benefit of being able to win headers in midfield, but no way El Abd.

Also El Abd has just come back from injury why play him in an unfamiliar role, a role which if your honest he has never played well, he has only played well for the Albion at Centre Half.

I can't remember Navarro ever having had the ball at his feet for more that 10 seconds. He gets rid of it as soon as he gets it and most of the time to the opposition.

Please can we see Lua Lua given a chance from the start and give the predictable Noone a well deserved rest!

The reason that Bridcutt could push on was simply down to having Navarro playing behind him, I don't care whether it is Navarro or anyone as long as it is NOT El Abd playing midfiels and out of position. Oh and to have the ball at your feet for more than 10 seconds as a midfielder just never happens.

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

Please, NO Navarro ever again!

I don't want to see Big Billy Paynter in the stripes ever again.

Saying that, I'd love it, Keegan style, if he proved me wrong this afternoon.

Personally that midfield looks too light.

I think you either start with noone or kll, not both

Yeah that's close but when vicente and reyes are fit:
-----------Ankergren
Calderon Greer Dunk vincelot
-------Reyes-Bridcutt-------
buckley--------------noone

For me this will be perfect

It's similar, but if fit jara Reyes will be invaluable to us.
Also I would like to see vincelot in place of painter!

Talking of midfielders- anyone seen Dury of Crawley (on loan from Ipswich) play recently? I`ve got a feeling he could be what we`re after. I saw him play for Lewes a few years ago- seemed pretty good but admitedly playing at a lower level.
