shurlock Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 Can picture it- Lambert bullying Lancashire and Perry; Waigo scaring the living daylights out of Rudi; Gillett can't get in the side;Jaidi and Trottman outmuscling the battering-ram Euell. The sheer work-ethic and willingness of Harding giving no space to the likes of DMG; perhaps slightly vulnerable to the pace of BWP but unlikely to stay onside; 2009/10 Lallana looking pound for pound better than 2008/09 Lallana; midfield a slightly more contested area, though no reason why Hammond wouldn't give a Surman a run for his money. And if it came to chasing goal, the likes of Connolly on the bench compared to a loaned out/depleted strikeforce and young great hopes like Peckart. Of course, we would still have Kelv to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 No argument from me , the current team would beat last years 9 times out of 10 in all probability . Having a wealthy owner has much to recommend it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 Was thinking about, with everyone fit i'd rather have James in there just for his corners. Maybe stick Schneiderlin in for Mellis and shift Lallana out wide and play the same system as we did on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 Interesting thread What about comparing current side v the Burley play off side and 1st year championship team Have to say it is a good feeling at the moment but we have to be careful not to big up the current side too much until it starts performing consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 Have to say it is a good feeling at the moment but we have to be careful not to big up the current side too much until it starts performing consistently Absolutely agree. Im not getting too carried away just yet. I remember these threads poped up when we went on a 5 match winning streak in our playoff season ''We are better than our relegated premiership side..'' etc. Still a long way to go before this lot can be compared to any past team!

Thedelldays Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 It needs pardew to almost bring in a new team pardew is clearly bette than wotte but it also shows how hard wotte had it.

Andy_Porter Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 Morgan is a much better player than James. Are you blind? Based on what three good games this season? I don't think there's much in it between the two, James being able to take a semi decent set piece swings it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70's Mike Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 those who quote this seasons side seem to have forgotten that we have won the last 2 with Wotton in the side.

Davis Wright - Baird - Lundekvam - Bale Surman - Guthrie - Pele - Skacel Jones - Rasiak That was a decent team. From our current squad Waigo and Murty would walk into the side not sure who else maybe Lallana, Hammond and Jaidi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 but is the TEAM better with him in it Agreed. You need to have Wotton or James in front of the defence. Hammond and Morgan are too similar and both want to play further up the pitch leaving too big a gap between the defence and midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 Morgan was fantastic against rovers and apparently very good against Southend. He is in great form at the mo He didn't play holding midfield against Southend. I'd say he was as good as anyone on the night playing as our furthest forward central midfielder. He's not cut out to play holding midfield yet, maybe with a bit of experience but not yet. Wether he's in the team or not it's a nice change to actually have options and decent players on the bench.

ExSt Peter Saint Posted 11 October, 2009 Share Posted 11 October, 2009 Would you have any of these players in the team now to replace existing players? If so, who? Surman McGoldrick Skacel BWP Euell Dyer Rasiak JPS Stern John I certainly wouldn't have any of those strikers instead of Lambert bearing in mind age, attitude and scoring rate this league. Skacel likewise, either at LB or LW. Surman is a tricky one, because I think he's a quality player, but Lallana is better in attack and Hammond/Schneiderlin looks a good partnership in front of DM. I'd have Papa over Dyer, McGoldrick or Euell any day too, so I think we are looking stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was just based on ability i'd take Skacel and Mcgoldrick back but neither of those really wanted to be here so we're better off with inferior players who want to play for us. Shame we lost Euell as I think he could be usefull cover this season same with JPS, good player but not as good as Trottman or Jaidi imo. Surman I'd take back in an instant, a front three of Lallana, Paga and Surman would be brilliant. Glad to see BWP, Rasiak, Dyer gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
