Weirdly, that was a 4-0 battering of Brentford in week 12. That 6 week span was gameweek 8 thru 13. The other games were @Leeds 0-0, @Forest 1-1, v Chelsea 0-2, @Fulham 0-3, @Newcastle 0-4. We were also being ‘managed’ during that period by a bag of cement. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Has to be chambers for me to replace Kamara alongside Dougie. It's a big loss but Chambers is much more mobile and I think him in front of the back 4 is a safer option than Dendoncker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Craig Pawson, should have come down heavier on Palace before that challenge on Boub. He has a lot to answer for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads twin Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Should be a straight choice between DenDonker and Chambers. Probably a position that Dendonker has played more regularly than Chambers. That said Chambers has probably had more game time recently. Where is that man Marvelous when we need him! Would be a shame if SJM was to drop back into a deeper role at a time when he seems to have refound his mojo. Whoever get the start, the team will have had a full week to work on the lineup & shape.

robby b Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 If it's a sprain or a strain then hopefully it's just a mild one and one that will heal completely, i.e. permanently in no more than a month, fingers crossed! What a worrying time for him and for us. :s And what bad luck for him to have two injuries in the same season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Chambers on the bench to cover for the centre backs and - heaven forbid - another injury in midfield. Dendoncker to start, for mine.

We start doing that and it quickly eradicates all tackles from the game. We’d have to have no physical contact at all and the game would be ruined. It was a bad tackle, but for me wasn’t malicious.

AntrimBlack Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) That was an injury waiting to happen. The referee was allowing too many heavy tackles. He should have used his yellow card earlier. Game management for referees - is that an alien concept?

No it’s not an alien concept but it’s only used for occasions that are important, such as when the perceived “big teams”, need a helping hand. Late penalties for them, multiple goal checks when any of the chosen ones inconveniently concede. You get the general idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, what he did just a couple of minutes later would suggest he was setting out to hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think his first injury with us was his knee whereas on Saturday it looked like his ankle? I don't know, I haven't managed to find much info about this new injury.

I think Viera had told his players at half time to stop us playing through the middle and if that meant fouling us then so be it. The sudden upping of fouls in the second half would seem to back this up. I don't think Doucoure was purposely trying to injure Kamara, just stopping him in the way his manager has suggested. It'll always be a danger to Kamara as he moves the ball around his feet so quickly that big cloggers like Doucoure will see the best way to stop him is to foul him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
