smetrov Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 looked pretty decent TBH. Never been a makoun fan - but probably our best player in that 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Regarding Cuellar: I believe McLeish will be fair enough to give him a chance if he believes he's the best option. Whether he is still here at that stage or not, is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappadan Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Decent half and I thought Petrov and Makoun linked up nicely. We look a bit narrow at times with the Zog drifting everywhere but overall pretty pleased with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Not a bad half but we still not pressuring far enough up field. It like we let them get to the halfway line before we close them down. It's the way we have played all preseason so its probably the team tactics but I just don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Gardner in for Petrov 2nd half I want to see more of the youngsters were going to have to rely on to do any good this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Makoun and Zog have looked impressive so far. How many years does Dunne have left on his contract? 1 or 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I can't understand why Dunne always gets ahead of Collins. Fair enough didn't know Collins was injured. I'd play Hercules in front of Dunne, mind. While I agree with your Collins better than Dunne statement, tonight both Cuellar and Collins are injured so the large bottomed Irish man is the right CH I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We probably wont see any changes till the 65th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Correct me if im wrong! But could Hesky not do the holding midfield job instead of Petrov and get Alby out on the left! Watch Petrov if they keep him on in the second half, he was trotting about knackered already!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackneyVillain Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Impressed with Makoun, Warnock and the Zog. Not sure about Gabby and Heskey, would prefer to sub them now and see Albrighton on the wing and either wee Barry or Gardner to try and link the midfield to the attack.

bose Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Gabby really has stagnated, or even gone backwards, in his development the past year. He desperately needs to improve (not just based on this game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Gardner in for Petrov 2nd half I want to see more of the youngsters were going to have to rely on to do any good this season. Not for me. I'd rather take off Heskey or Gabby for him. Petrov and Makoun are very much in sync and playing well together, with N'Zogbia reading them well too considering it's his first game. Don't want to mess that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He desperately needs to improve (not just based on this game). It does feel like he's hit his ceiling in terms of performance. It's like when Vassell all over again.

KSV Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 This formation is good when you have two wingers and a good cm. Heskey and gabby dont suit this formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 No sign of albrighton? The only other out and out winger we have in our squad? or is the manager deluded enough to think he can play Heskey on the wing this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
