Egan and Duffy injured

[1973Blade]

Stearman and Sharp start instead. Worried about Egan's absence, he has been outstanding.

 

[Bill Johnson]

Stearman is IMO a more than capable replacement and should slot in seamlessly against today's opposition
Very interested to see Billy Leon and McGoldrick just behind them.
Intelligent team selection.

We struggle

At the start of the season he didn't play but we went boring and defensive with a flat line of Evans Fleck and Lundstram.

He's not playing today but we've gone offensive with McG filling in and everyone else where they should be.

A lot more hopeful.

Duffy doesn't play

And there lies our biggest problem...we can’t rely solely on one creative midfielder. Given he’s in his 30s we’ll need to address this sooner or later. Today should either provide the evidence required for funds to be released in Jan for a 2nd creative midfielder...or, force us into finding another successful winning formula.

Yes, and the key player allowing Wilder to adopt this more positive approach in starting McG, is Ollie Norwood - He proved himself in the short time he’s been here and Tufty trusts him

McGoldrick is a very clever player and I think he'll do a job in Duffman's position.

Saw Duffy outside the copthorne, being rested for Friday.

Why what's happening Friday ?

Why what's happening Friday ?

Going on a bender i think

 

[Harry's Game]

I don’t think we concede the second goal if Egan was playing today

Bonfire party.

 

[bromtom]

Why what's happening Friday ?

Wilder needs his gutters clearing and Duff's still got all his scaffolding in the garage.

CW in his interview numerous times points out that when duffy doesn't play we haven't really got a replacement. Says a lot (or nothing) about woodburn and maybe hinting to the board that come January, we Will need to spend on this position.

Well if we ain't McGoldrick did a fuckin good impression today.

Agreed the main position we need to fill is another quality creative midfielder.
Top priority

Totally agree. I always felt that Goldie could do the Duffy role and I think the Wigan game showed he can. Not up to Duffy at his best yet but think with time he could be as good. Very clever skilful player. Hopefully Duff can go on for as long as possible but I think we have got a replacement/sharer of the role.

Or score our second. Stears did very well to win the header from Ollie’s superb free-kick and knock it back into the danger area.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Yeah, given the way we play replacing Duffy (at some point) is a must. We did really miss him today (movement, skill etc). Feels weird saying that given we won and scored four, but CW said the same, so I'm not totally bonkers!
