http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/9335124._You_can_t_forget_Big_Chris_/?ref=rss From reading this it could go 2 ways tomorrow. Either Dyche keeps the side that won against P'boro or he goes back to old ways and brings back players that wernt working in the formation before. My lineup for tomorrows game is: GK - Loach LB - ****inson CB - Mariappa CB - Nosworthy RB - Hodson RW - Yeates CM - Buaben CM - Hogg LW - Kightly/Deeney (preferably Kightly if fit) CF - Iwelumo CF - Sordell
After Dyche's Iwelumelumelumelo love-in in the Wobbly http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/9335124._You_can_t_forget_Big_Chris_/ I think he is certain for a start. Bit worried about the Prince comments - surely Dyche couldn't be so thick as to leave him out?
Loach Hodson Nos Mariappa ****o Yeates Hogg Prince Kightly Sordell Iwelumo Bond, Murray, Whichelow, Deeney, Mirfin
Would like to see: GK - Loach LB - ****inson CB - Mariappa CB - Nosworthy RB - Thompson RW - Yeates CM - Buaben CM - Hogg LW - Kightly CF - Iwelumo CF - Sordell But knowing Dyche, it'll be: GK - Loach LB - ****inson CB - Mariappa CB - Nosworthy RB - Hodson RW - Yeates CM - Eustace CM - Hogg LW - Forsyth CF - Iwelumo CF - Sordell
I can see Thompson coming in for ****inson, or if Doyleys fit Hodson moving over there. In fairness to Dyche he hasn't been afraid to make a decision, dropping Loach or Sordell. ****inson has been caught out of position too many times and been at faulty for too many that we have conceeded.
I bet Dyche will bring in Doyley for Hodson :rant: and Eustace for Buaben :rant: Will be idiotic if he does make these changes!
My team: Loach Hodson Marriappa Nosworthy ****inson Kightly (If injured, Deeney) Hogg Prince Yeates Iwelumo Sordell Subs: Bond Thompson Eustace (if injured then Jenkins) Deeney (If starting, Whichelow) Garner
I'm loving how we are all voicing the same opinion when it comes to team selections, so if we can see why can't SD. I'm hoping and praying that he plays our strongest team and doesn't turn into the england squad by picking by name and not performance
going back to the original post, as many see it: GK Young Goalie to abuse and send death threats to on twitter. DF Youngster to shout at if he makes one mistake; Mapps; Journeyman scum/saviour; player to shout at and demotivate from Rous stand MF Otherwise useless tall guy to hoof it to; "too many defensive midfielders"; other saviour - one mistake though and *makes linear movement of finger over throat to simulate cutting*; winger who's goals and contribution we will conveniently ignore AT Young England prospect who is a lazy prima donna and will leave us, like they all do; Other player to abuse for our lack of goals through laziness
Building on that, I would have Hodson & Thompson or Doyley as full backs and, in order to retain a left footed player, move ****inson forward instead of Forsyth (who needs resting anyway). Defence tightened up, and the balance of the team retained. So, my pick: Loach Thompson/Doyley Maraippa, Nosworthy, Hodson/Doyley Yeats, Hogg, Buaben, ****inson Sordell, Iwelumo
I would go with that except if Eustace is fit I would play him instead of ****inson. Nobody seems to have mentioned Beattie who I think will probably be on the bench instead of Garner who has done nothing to date.
Loach Hodson, Mapps, Nosworthy, ****o Yeates, Hogg, Bauben, Forsyth Marv, Big Chris Replace Forsyth with Kiera Knightly if fit.
It depends Dyche's mindset. He obviously felt Saturday was a winnable game so was a little more expansive, however, he may set out to try and stifle Brighton so may go for a more defensive line up. Anyway we shall see an hour before the game.
Loach Hodson Nosworthy Mariappa ****inson Eustace (if fit, Jenkins if not) Hogg Bauben Yeates Deeney Sordell I know big Chris does a good job of occupying the centre backs but we need to chase them down when they play it out from the back and I just don't think he is mobile enough for it unlike Deeney who works his socks off. Also their full backs push up so we'll need to be quick on the break when we win it off them which Chris certainly isn't! I realise Troy isn't Usain Bolt either but he's got a few yards on Iwelumo at least!
Did anyone think that Deeney looked faster than normal when he came on against Peterborough? When he sprinted past their LB to get into the box, he looked speedy, maybe their defender was just very slow. But havent seen much of him lately though, maybe he's always been that fast?
