I think DF must be looking beyond this season as Petrov's contract would've been up anyway - so the fact he never plays him and he won't be here next season, plus he's knocking on make it an easy one for the manager

 

I don't think it's this ruthless streak either - he prob told Petrov he wasn't playing and he can go play top flight football in Spain if he wants, he won't hold him back

 

what's more bizarre is if that's how he played at Palace, he's trying something different here, as we're narrow as I can recall us ever being

 

Good point about Petrov, makes sense.

 

Thats what I meant about being bizarre with the width and wingers on the opposite side. its the opposite to what he did at palace

 

at least it shows hes not got one plan and he sticks to it whererver he goes regardless of players like most managers do.

 

im convinced he wants to go out and out 442

 

but were now looking thin on the wings with just Eagles and Lee.

I think last sat was the first time he played it, when he could afford to try something different (he may well have done in his first few games whilst he was testing the water, but don't recall) - but has clearly seen that our players suit 4-2-3-1 or similar, which is funny, because it's Coyle's team and all he ever wanted to do was play 4-4-2

 

the return of Holden will give him more tackle in the middle so more chance to go 4-4-2, but like you say, with just 2 wingers and M Davies to return, I don't think we'll see much 4-4-2 this season

 

what type of midfielder is this jan gregus lad? guessing defensive of his 1 goal in 60 odd games

See I think the 4231 suits mark davies and thats about it (thats not a dig at him for once btw)

 

I think were crying out to be a shit version of the old Arsenal 442 with Vieira & Petit in the centre and Overmars and Ljungberg on the wings.

 

this is exactly what he did at palace.

 

petrov for me was a 442 winger as oppose to a wide man in the 4231

 

I think Lee is better in a 442 but is still very good in a 4231

 

Same for Eagles

 

Unless theres a striker or two leaving sharpish, surely he wouldnt have signed craig davies to continue playing 4231?

no idea, but Nixon did say he is what you would call a proper no 10 which would fit in with the 4-4-1-1 he played at palace.

 

he also said hes one for the future, not now.

Think Iles has written somewhere this week that Dougie says C. Davies will be used cutting in from the right

 

1 iles knows fcuk all

2 doesn't sound over likely

Would Freedman actually go to the lengths of saying how he will use someone?

 

Thankfully if this has come from Iles it means he's probably read it on a forum somewhere.

Just tried finding it but mill pre match press conference still not up, found one from last week though with a few points.

 

Wages were sorted with Warnock but he wanted a longer contract than Doogie would give.

theres holes in the u21 squad, hes gonna lookt to bring players in to fill that (Gregus being one)

Tom Eaves is doing very well and is a few weeks away from the first team

Pratley form meant we sent Butterfield back early

While the WSU won't have an opinion on him at all,or they'll just keep quiet.

 

Ouch. Seems you have a thaaang for us WSU folk. Yet nowt said when we're stood sude by side at away games. Or maybe you wouldn't know about that little one

Posted (edited)

I don't have a thing about the WSU at all.I'm just sticking up for the ESL who get more stick than they deserve.

 

I don't go to away games I can't afford it.Something to say?

Seems like you have a thing for the nest of Booers too my friend.

 

Certainly do dear, anyone booing before 90mins should be vigorously slapped then castrated. Whether they sit ESL, WSU, CIA or TSB

I think that rumour was filed under 'shite' when the report said he 'enjoyed' a loan spell with us,

Posted

Lennie L just been on Talksport, says we hope to being in three more on loan before end of window

 

All on loan? Don't get that unless they are with a view to permanent at the end of season - 5 loanees doesnt strike me as "bigger" picture thinking
