Today's Argus - Orlandi may be back for Saturday

[chucky1973]

Bruno's not getting back in, neither is Andrews.
I guess Orlandi for SD, which doesn't seem right either.

Unless we go for something crrrraaaazzzzzzzyyyy.

We've been precariously thin up front, all season.
Get Saturday out of the way, and then have 2 weeks to take stock.
We'll know who will be fit and when, by who is bought and money spent on the 2nd.

Ive been racking my brains....cant workout who or what SD is...........sorry if simple.

Spanish Dave?

Exciting signings maybe but I'll be sad to lose Barnes ( the more likely I feel) or Bridcutt. I will be gutted to lose both. I feel we will lose at least one of them. I won't be too concerned if we lose Lua Lua on what I have seen of him this season tbh and his naïve whinging on Twitter irritates me nearly as much as Poyet's touting did. For me you are either 100% behind your club or you need to be allowed to leave.

 

[Stuart Munday]

Do you have some information to share or are you guessing?

I know nothing just a gut feeling, hope im wrong though.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Glad you cleared that up.

I was fretting about our club, but knowing you are always there to put us right means we can sleep easy in our beds.

Reviewing where we are in a free two week period...who would have thought

Now, now.

This is actually a football discussion board. Its inevitable that some people will wish to set out their views on the Albion. Humour them, even if some of it is obvious stuff.

Fret not - the current NSC server is a powerful beast. There is plenty of capacity left for you to discuss your latest cruise.

I would be very surprised if we ever see Bridcutt play for us again.

To be fair, we've looked good without him. If we get £5m+ and he goes to the Prem, the blow wouldn't be as large as it was 5-6 weeks ago (with the emergence of Ince+Andrews).

Got to agree with this. Losing him wouldn't be the disaster we all feared .

Regarding Orlandi, great news. Genuine match winner and can't see him not going straight in the side.

Bruno isn't better than Calderon IMO

 

[Rugrat]

I agree with this. Arguabely he has been our best player for the past 2 years but if we got a good chunk for him, and he had a shot with a decent Prem side, then I think this could be good business.

 

[Beach Hut]

Can't wait for Orlandi to be available again, great midfielder and scores a few as well.

Correct. I'm pretty sure that Oscar agrees too. In the pre-season games everything positive we did, was channeled through Orlandi.

Hopefully there's enough room on the server to cover all the double standards as well.

 

[maltaseagull]

One day my opinions will be as important as yours when discussing a specific point.
In the meantime though I'll keep trying.

 

[Albumen]

Andrews will get straight back in for Ince.
Orlandi for Crofts (if he's fit to start).

Maybe Oscar will pick the team dependant on the opposition. I think that there are some more physical sides we play that may be better games for Croft's aggressive closing down and late arrival in the box. 2nd top goalscorer and with a further run he'll probably get better. I am a great believer in teams that counteract the strengths of the opposition, the best way for squad rotation to operate.

 

[Urchin]

Ince more than deserves to keep his place. Crofts too for that matter. The only change for me would be Orlandi for Dave and hopefully a stronger bench.

Why does Crofts? He's had one average performance this season, and that was against Burnley.

I thought he was better than average and certainly more effective than Spanish Dave, he also offers a goal threat in this set up and who knows he may continue to improve with gametime, something he hasn't had since he returned. He was a BIG part in Norwich's promotion out of this division.

 

[keaton]

I can't see why Crofts would be the one to miss out. He looks match fit which is more than David Lopez or Augestein do and he was certainlt better than both of them on Saturday

 

[LamieRobertson]

Scoring in the last 2 games surely founts for something?
Imho the side looked nicely balanced on Saturday ....if orlandi and andrews are fit maybe in for ince and lopez would be my guess... but tis early in the week plenty coukd happen between now and Saturday

I thought David was poor on Saturday. It's just that against Leeds and Birmingham, he was woeful. I didn't really notice him do much Saturday (apart from the goal) but due to the raving reviews, assumed he had an average performance.

 

[El Sid]

Why does Crofts? He's had one average performance this season, and that was against Burnley.

2 goals in 2 games, improving with game time. Something he didn't get a lot of last year?
I personally like the idea of keeping the bulk of a winning team and strengthening the bench with returning senior players.
Just my opinion.
