Who to partner El-Abd at Leeds?

[Ninja Elephant]

Poyet is more than likely to replace either Elphick or Virgo for the trip to Leeds, to bring his best defender back into the side now he is fit. Who do you think will partner him?

 

[disgruntled h blocker]

Virgs played quite well yesterday, made several good tackles and sorted things out at the back on numerous occasions...

 

[jordanseagull]

Elf out.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Is he more than likely going to bring El-Abd in?

First game in over a month, against THE Leeds United?

Did Tunnicliffe play for MK yesterday?

Cos they got battered.

 

[northstandsteve]

Virgo has been outstanding in the last few games

Yep, the full 90 mins I believe. Good start eh?

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Oh and keep Virgo and Elph together. IF however there was a change I'd play Virgs and El-abd

 

[Ninja Elephant]

We all know Poyet likes El-Abd... he's hinted at making changes and I have added these things together, possibly making 5. But I wouldn't be suprised to see El-Abd start the game. I wouldn't be amazed if Brezovan did aswell.

I would agree with neither. Elphick and Virgo, mistakes against Millwall and Orient aside which resulted (as is our luck) in goals both times... they've been brilliant at the back and Huddersfield didn't get the better of them and they've got a quality attack. I would keep them together, but alas, it is not up to me.

this would be the same wonder kid el-abd who gifted leeds a one nil win at withdean in the not too distant past then??!!

 

[disgruntled h blocker]

One of the problems this season is that the manager has always tinkered with things each game, due to suspensions, injuries etc... Have there been two or three consecutive games where the team have stayed the same?

Elf and Virgo - but only just. Elf has to play 90+ mins, he too often doesn't

Talk about best of a bad bunch. I can't believe they are our options when we're about play Leeds United. To say I'm concerned would be a massive understatement.

Putting El-Abd at centre back, would be like putting us infront of a fireing squad. I thought our back four were good yesterday. They dealt with everything Norwich threw at them and it was only a matter of time, before Norwich scored and eventually got the winner. This is why they're top of the league and are a fantastic side to watch.....

 

[Socky]

Can't Painter play centre back or did I imagine that?

 

[never wrong dave]

Please wake up you good people.Vile free loading scum like Elphick & El-abd have had this club almost bottom of the league for almost two years now.It does not take a lot of working out.Thats why no other league clubs want them after all these years.Albion fans are just helping their familys businesses out of hard times.

 

[BensGrandad]

What is their families businesses?

Have to say, that pretty much sums it up.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I would prefer Painter and Virgo.
