Shake things up for Stoke

[robbiez666]

We have a lot of tired legs out there and a lot of injuries. I think we have to bit the bullet and rest a few players. Might not work but I can't see carrying on as is will either. I'm assuming Baldock is injured and Anel is back.

McBurnie is carrying an injury and looks shattered. Berge, if not injured, looks shattered as well. Doyle can only last 60 mins and looks like he's struggling as well.

Gutted Baldock is out because there's no way I'd be starting Bogle on that second half showing. He's been out for 7 months and cannot do 225 minutes in a week.

Egan was limping badly at the end

Mcburnie is now suspended, how bright is he.

You're advocating dropping our three top goal scorers to shake things up?

The one who is suspended, carrying an injury, looks tired and been ineffective last couple of games?

Brewster needs to come off the bench, seriously do something and start scoring sharpish. Otherwise he should be sent out on loan in January and we bring in someone competent. What an utter shitshow of a signing

 

[100% part time blade]

Mcburnie is now suspended, how bright is he.

Did he get yellow-carded after the final whistle for mouthing off at the ref?

If so, I assume this was just foolish.

But could he have picked up an injury and worked out that it would be a good idea to serve a suspension while recovering?

…

(No, I didn’t really think so either.)

It's Tuesday. They play Saturday. Whilst that won't impact anyone being suspended, mass changes seldom work.

We're top still after a challenging period when International football didn't help us.

No need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

McBurnie will naturally get a rest if his suspension comes into effect this weekend. That's enough disruption.

Play N'Diaye up top where he was scoring 1 in 2 end of last season and bring Khadra into his spot.

All about opinions, I just think what you are suggesting is too much of a panic move.

You do make a point. He is venturing back into pommpey 's 'poor kid's territory a bit. Needs to rediscover that form he got in January.

Just has a look at our fixtures and we have a couple of midweeks off this month so maybe there's a chance to rest there.

I would say that I think Jebbo may play versus Stoke for his height. We'd only have the 3CBs with any height losing Berge and McBurnie.

So you start Sharp over him, who was bloody awful last night?

Hopefully your sentiment isn’t mirrored by those who make decisions in the club, otherwise we may as well sell him and rely on Billy for another ten years.

We have no option to shake things up as we have only about 13 fit adult players.

I would go for this with what we have left.

I know Basham played crap but in our current situation no way can we afford to drop an experienced pro.

Are Stoke still quite physical because a lot of these teams we're picking are very short with only 3 players decent in the air?

Playing 4 at the back will expedite our journey from promotion contenders to mid-table shite. We can't do it, we've proved we can't do it. I'd rather put square pegs in round holes in a back 5 than observe us playing a 4 again.

 

[bonobo]

I wouldn't be quite as radical, but I think there is some value in this post. We have a lot of hungry attackers, who can all add smg creatively. Berge, Ndiaye dont need to play every game

Maybe. Maybe not. Having a centre half like Anel can make up previous deficiencies though.

Hecky seems very reluctant to move away from a 5 though so I agree entirely that it won't happen. Thoughts post game were that Gordon should've played and I stick by that. No point the lad being here if he doesn't trust him.

It's a sad state of affairs if a defence can't play a back 4 mind. Deary me.

there aren’t many other options to be fair.

I agree that we should be able to do it, but we can't.

With Gordon, RND was both our best CB and LWB last night (even though he didn't play LWB!). I don't think Gordon would have handled Roberts like RND did, but then having RND at LWB gives us a lot more going forward. Catch 22 really. No legislating for Egan getting booked and then not being able to put a tackle in after the booking. Bash was poor, that doesn't happen often.

It's a joke how many times Brewster has come on and offered nothing

Biggest disappointment of the season easily

Patience has to be running out. Tick tock

 

[Gin&Juice]

Berge and Iliman need some time off. Testament to the fact they couldn't play after 70 mins last season.

Bring in Brewster and Khadra at Stoke, can change things if not working.

Hopefully Anel is back.

They had 15 man behind the ball by the time Billy and Brewster came on.

Yeah there'll always be an excuse for him

How often do you think we work on a back 4 in training? The current formation and tweaks, are based around the back 3.

I see a lot of people say "play a back 4" but what will those people say if we do it and lose 3 or 4 goals?

Separately I'm still confused by various people's Brewster bashing. He's done nothing wrong, he's put in some good minutes. Just needs enough time on the pitch to see a few decent chances on goal.
