peterjrpowell Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Nathan was in the warm down at the end of the game with Heskey Bannan n subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Can anybody confirm whether MacDonald said that Weimann was in better form or not, only I don't think anybody in this thread has mentioned it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Delfouneso is definitely fit, I saw him doing a warm up/down with the other subs infront of the north stand at the end of the match. I'll tell you what, that Bannan is a fast little bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Sounds fair enough. Its nice to see that good form = a place in the team/squad. do you think thats necessarily true, had Gabby been fit do you think Weimann would have kept his place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 it's above Sarcasm detector out of order today? Pleased to see Weimann getting the nod, although obviously at Delfouneso's expense wasn't what we all wanted, but Heskey had to be there really to (as has been said) provide experience if required. Having 2 kids on the bench could have been an expensive mistake so for once I am agreeing with Heskey's inclusion. When will Delph be back in contention?

ChrisNichollsToe Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Delfouneso is definitely fit, I saw him doing a warm up/down with the other subs infront of the north stand at the end of the match. I'll tell you what, that Bannan is a fast little bugger. Hes not only quick, but has more talent in his left toe than Albrighton :winkold: Its his stature thats holding him back at the moment. But i can see Macca and the rest of the staff building that strength up over the next couple of months, and giving him the odd ninety in Europe and the Carling cup, aswell as a few sub appearances in the league.

C4rvillan Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 It's all good IMO. It measn that Delfouneso will have to work even harder in training to get a place in the playing squad and Weimann will have to work harder to keep himself there so a win - win. It seems that the players have a bit more belief that hard work in training will merit a place in the squad not just seeing the same names on the team sheet match after match.

MYSTERYMAN Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 His attitude will be the key to him making it at the moment they feel Weiman has the desire and attitude over him . In a nutshell Weiman wants it more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it gives other kids near to first team squad, something to aim for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nutshell Weiman wants it more What about young Collins? There was a lot of talk about the coaches having a lot of faith in him a couple of seasons ago. Is he any nearer?

omariqy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 MM - do you reckon we will stick with what we've got in terms of our attacking options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTERYMAN Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 MM - do you reckon we will stick with what we've got in terms of our attacking options? They would have liked Keane pre MON Quitting but now we have no permanent manager and they won't sign anyone other than Ireland now . Spurs wanting silly money anyway for Keane . So we will go I suspect with what we have just expect more rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reo Coker Delph Collins Sidwell Gabby Delfounso Davies Cuellar Heskey Salifou All players who didnt feature on Saturday...that is a good squad IMO.

MYSTERYMAN Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I firmly believe we have players who will look better now because of the formation we will play and the confidence that MacDonald / new manager will give to the fringe players. Sidwell for me is a prime example of someone who should benefit from it and suddently 4 or 5 players become real options for us . The squad needs tinkering not a major overhaul . Ireland and Keane were all we need this season in my opinion . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we lose Milner then Ireland replaces him . I |just don't think there are many better players we can go for out there at the moment who would make a real difference . Keane would be ideal for 2 years before someone like Weimann fully develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
