Probably go with Schneiderlin, Imudia or Hatch. Maybe even Liptak or Lancashire could do a job there.

 

Jermaine Wright on emergency loan from Blackpool. ;-)

 

Or Liptak.

 

what are these like at RB? (except Wright!)

I reckon James was told to get a card in the game to ensure his suspension was out of the way for the run in. The challenge he made was not necessary (by the centre line) and somewhat out of character. Then we had Jake T come into the side from out of the wilderness and I thought, hang-on I think we're seeing our new RB here!

 

Interesting actually, I think JT could be a better RB than James potentially as he has more pace and had proven he can get to the byline and put in a good cross (his style reminds me a little of Walcott). What is unknown is how good he is defensively - can he put a boot in where it hurts?

Why on earth would we want him suspended for Blackpool? would make far more sense to miss a game like Wolves where we have very little chance.

 

Blackpool is one where we have a big chance to pick up points.

The trouble with Jake at right back is that he is liable to play great for 80 minutes and then have 10 minutes where it all goes wrong. I'd rather see Imudia come in, especially against a fast winger, and replace Lallana with Thomson.

Surely we could play one of Pulis, Gasmi, Pekhart, Robertson, Molyneux, Pearce, Smith or Forecast?

 

We must have signed at least one of them as a right back given that we have no other options there. Otherwise that would be mental.

Could always go three at the back!

 

------Davis

Saeijs-Liptak-Perry

--Surman--Gillett

Lalanna------Skacel

-----McGoldrick

---Saga----Euell

 

Maybe swap Surman for Schniederlin

 

i like the idea of three at the back, but it would be a big gamble for such a big game as its untested by us, liptack looks solid enough. i would drop at least lallana and maybe even surman, we need more width and with two holding midfielders who can play the ball(gillett and schniederlin) the width would work well, id prefer ryan smith to thompson, more likely to go past players(just hope he can make the final ball after that).

 

maybe lallana for mcgoldrick as well, the free role is what hes best at, just tell him if he trys to shoot, someone else will shoot him!:)

Suggest we play all of them right back and hope Blackpool don't realise.

On second thoughts Blackpool will not realise anyway.

Thomson would be a possibility at RB, but we shouldn't risk a possible 3 points by tinkering with the side too much and playing a player out of position, especially at a crucial position like RB. Imo, we should play Saeijs at RB (apparently he can play at either CB or RB) and put Wotton in at CB with Perry. Not an especially pacy backline I know, but Blackpool don't have an especially pacy frontline either (I reckon Taylor-Fletcher could give Jon Parkin a run for his money at a pie eating contest) so that would cause minimal problems for us. It was painfully evident when we played Blackpool earlier in the season that we needed more brawn at the back, and I think that there is sufficient muscle in there to keep Blackpool at bay.

 

I would also play Surman at LB, because he's not done particularly well in the last few games, and I feel that we need the delivery that Skacel can give on the wings, because Saga and Euell can't just magic goals out of thin air. Skacel is a natural winger, and we can't afford to have another stalemate, putting him out on the wing will provide goals.

 

I would play:

 

-----------Davis--------------

Saeijs--Perry--Wotton--Surman

-------Gillett--Lallana----------

Thomson----------------Skacel

--------Saga--Euell------------

 

Subs: Bart, Liptak, Morgan, DMG, BWP

I'll play, although i didn't have the greatest games today, let down by midfield is my excuse.

 

JT, think he will do a good job, can't see anyone else really, spiderman doesn't challenge in midfield why would he at RB ?

 

Thomson doesn't challenge either and is not a defender, so why would he play right back. I would have big concerns about our chances if he starts at RB against Blackpool.

Would be foolhardy to break up Perry and J-P at the moment....
