He is fully fit and has been for a few weeks now though - shows how strong the bench is that he can’t get on it recently . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great to have such selection headaches in every area of the team. I remember the days of Lambert, Sherwood, even MO'N where the team near enough picked itself. A refreshing change for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think Green is a terrific player, and will get better. But if Adomah is fit, he will retain his place. Green, though, should be on the bench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Since I posted that Green would take Adomah's shirt Albert has scored 2 goals, has provided an assist and has 2 whoscored man of the match awards. I think we're a long way off that in retrospect. Edited February 15, 2018 by dont_do_it_doug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 No doubt whatsoever if Albert is fit he keeps the shirt - if Albert was not fit I’d have no qualms giving green a starting place . ‘The good thing is we now have great competition for places in the team and a strong bench too - exciting times ahead .

There are also easier games to bring him and also to get match fit. It's going to be a tough game, we dont want to be carrying passengers (again not ability but match fitness). Super sub seems more reasonable to me, the opposition will be worn down, gives him a chance to get match confidence and his ability then can help us.

I think the main reason he was being touted was because Albert was reportedly injured but it doesn’t seem serious and he looks likely to be fit hopefully . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d still think he’s the best option to replace Adomah If he doesnt make it. He’s fit he’s played 90 min a few times for the reserves. I think Adomah will make it but he needs to be the option off off the bench he’s a better winger than Birkir or Onomah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Onomah has been decent in that positon when he's played there. He provides a good out ball because he's usually bigger than the full back he is up against and can out jump/muscle him. He seems to have a good understanding with Jack too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 He goes missing a lot in games , more so when the team around him is crap I.e like at Reading earlier this season thats not necessarily his fault but we need the manager to well errm manage him and protect him ... and Bruce looks as though he will do that accept he's a decent player learning his trade and that his time will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced he will be a big player for us in the future. We all know young players can drift in and out of games and indeed form. Davis an example at the moment.

Dr_Pangloss Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Not good signs, a lot of injuries and he's still young, could be that his body isn't built for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably, you could say his body is overdeveloped for his age. He's built like a middleweight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
