Lt. Aldo Raine Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think we're more likely to see Edwards, Brockbank or Senior at centre-back than we are to see Zouma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted December 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2019 Sadly, I agree But the defence will start as it finished yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passmosster Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Best defensive display that I have seen this season was Bristol Rovers with Earl and Zouma in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, quite like Edwards, even though I've only seen him a couple of times, Brockbank is versatile, so might be worth persevering with, I'm not convinced about Zouma tbh, he does some great things, but he also looks like a car crash of a defender too, not seen enough of Senior to make a call yet.

Proper rookie mistake It's all about learning from your fuck-ups. If he does it again tomorrow, he didn't learn yet. I'm sure it hadn't gone unnoticed by the coaching staff and I'm equally sure they'll have mentioned it during the week following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he couldn't do it on Boxing Day, as he was unable to get within 20 yards of the bloody ball. He looks poor, probably because he's not ready.

Traf Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'd not be entirely surprised to see Earl in the midfield today with Wright partnering one of Zouma/Edwards at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Think Hills defence of Graham means hes likely to play. Would prefer an alternative on what ive seen so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 1, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2020 The problem is, Hill has obviously recognised that Graham isn't performing yet at this level otherwise he wouldn't have needed to get something out asking the supporters not to be too hasty with their criticism. He's not had to say that about Darcy and others. Now, what if by half time, Graham is having a stinker so the manager replaces him. Will that be the right thing to do if Hill is just looking to boost Graham's feelings? Alternatively, he could be left on the pitch because Hill doesn't want to destroy him. You can bet that nothing will go unnoticed by Clough and Burton Albion. They won't be playing softly-softly, touchy- feely with him. They'll use his weaknesses in their favour. I actually think Hill has fucked up, from a psychology point, in even feeling the need to put into print that we ought to be giving Graham an easy time.

Traf Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hill's being a bit of a cheeky cunt really, telling us whether we should voice an opinion or not. He's already hauled players off after less than a half, he's publicly criticised players, he's the creating instability at the back by constantly tinkering with the defence and then nullifying our best player's influence. Give and take, Keith. we've as much right to point things out as you have. You're a custodian, we'll be here when you've gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWFC_LOVE Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Fully behind Hill, but there’s not a chance in hell Graham should be starting ahead of Weir. I know he’s only 17, but if Weir had given the ball away in the same way Graham has when he’s played, more would’ve been made of it from KH. I don’t think Weir is a superstar by any stretch, and I wasn’t there for the two cup games when he was subbed, but he can do a job from what I’ve seen.

boltondirtbag Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I think we are being a tad harsh on graham. I agree the other day he was bypassed when he came on but two things one which has been said: -he’s 17 - they were already passing around us with experienced players in that position. I m guessing he s has very little experience coming on as a sub ( at any level ) and having to get to grips with the game . he has been ‘ok’ when he s started a few mistakes but ok in the main and not really off the pace like the other day i would still however go with weir either way people will get behind him if he plays 3 points would make a good Christmas Edited January 1, 2020 by boltondirtbag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
