Junxs Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Would have liked to see some changes today to freshen things up with so many games in a short period of time, having said that we should still win comfortably 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 That back four is always a worry. But Preston have bigger problems than us at the back. We need to be winning this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Need an improved performance today. A lot of players in that team playing a lot of minutes this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm nervous about our defence, Elmo, Bree and Hutton, but worked out last game so fingers crossed it will today as well. Just score more than them and it's done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Surely we need some rotation at some point. We'll start picking up more injuries if we're not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2018 I expect there will be a bit of rotation for the QPR game. It’ll most likely be the tougher fixture so fresh legs will be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Slowpoke again in midfield i see. Why not give Birkir a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only obvious ones are Thor for Whelan and Kodjia for El Ghazi. Whether those changes are better or not is debatable. The back five as it stands picks itself and he’s not going drop Tammy, McGinn or Hourihane. I don’t see what else he can really do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did nobody notice how shit Bjarnason was when he came on against Leeds. One of the reasons we lost. He runs around a lot and gets forward more than Whelan. But Whelan is definitely the better player, IMO. Unfortunately he seems to be the VT scapegoat these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 To be fair to Bjarnsson he has just come back from injury too, i think he just looked off the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part of that I agree with is the "IMO". I agree that is all your opinion. The rest I think you are completely wrong about. And the VT scapegoat role is currently shared by Bruce and Nyland.... unless of course we parse the meaning of the hebrew word for scapegoat... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
