Pre-Match Presser

[robbiez666]

Nice to see the interviewer interested in more than just the usual stuff.

 

[Houston_Blade]

He’s trolling with “on the grass” now, must be.

What "usual stuff? Stuff fans want to know you mean?

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Cheers mate.

Expecting Anel to return and hopefully Bogle and Berge.

Heard flecks more likely than berge.But here’s hoping.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Expecting Anel to return and hopefully Bogle and Berge.

I can only assume you didn’t see the the squad photo? A player wearing a leg brace doesn’t play football 3 days later.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Cheers mate.

Expecting Anel to return and hopefully Bogle and Berge.

Berge is out until December.

he's actually referring to the club's alternative 'herbal' injury treatment

 

[Dougie]

What time is the presser?

Usually about 1 so should be released soon

You know what, as good as he is, I would take Berge being out for a bit provided we get Anel, and a left sided defender back in the mix from Saturday. That is the priority.

If Fleck is nearly ready too, all the better as it increases our options in midfield.

We then have McAtee, Khadra and even Doyle playing further forward as replacements for Berge.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerz Prezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzer?

Hecky out!

I'd like to see Doyle with the shackles off - think he'd be quality in a more advanced role

He won't be playing further forward anytime soon. Berge, Khadra, N'Diaye and McAtee are fighting for two positions. And we haven't strengthened the midfield area for years, god knows why. Doyle has to play CM every game for me.

CM;
Norwood
Fleck (injured and past his best)
Coulibaly (injured)
Arblaster (Still too young)

 

[Bristol Blade]

Bogle and Berge out until after the World Cup

 

[Bladesman]

Good news is Anel is back.

Fleck training and Baldock is okay now.

Still no word on Stevens or Clark. Which at this point Clark may as well be sent back to Newcastle.

 

[biggiesablade]

I'm not tryna say Anel is some sort of defence machine but Deeney doesn't get left with that much space in box with him here. Thank fuck he's back imo he's difference between autos and play offs.

He is back but for how long? You never know these days.

 

[ShropsBlade]

Bogle going back under the knife already is very concerning.

 

[CPB]

If Baldock and Anel are back it means we can field this sort of defence:

Baldock, Anel, Egan, Basham, RND OR Baldock, Anel, Egan, RND, Osborn

I'm not expecting him to play further forward, I just meant that I'd be interested to see how he'd get on. You're correct though - we've needed a mobile, physical player to play alongside Norwood for years. Doyle doing a decent job at the moment but it's certainly a neglected area of our squad

 

[Bladesman]

If Baldock and Anel are back it means we can field this sort of defence:

Baldock, Anel, Egan, Basham, RND OR Baldock, Anel, Egan, RND, Osborn

You mean we can go back to playing defenders in defence rather than attackers.

 

[Swannyblade]

Bogle going back under the knife already is very concerning.

This is a massive disappointment as he looked very encouraging the other day. With Lowe/RND on the left hand side of defence, and Anel/Bogle on the right, the attacking threat from both sides of the pitch would be immense. But sadly, it's looking less and less likely that we'll see this lineup in the near future.

 

[Swannyblade]

If Baldock and Anel are back it means we can field this sort of defence:

Baldock, Anel, Egan, Basham, RND OR Baldock, Anel, Egan, RND, Osborn

No offence to Bash, but I'd go for option B - far more confident with RND in the LCB role

 

[raimond]

Glad to have Osborn back too

 

[Houston_Blade]

Bogle is a joke, get the surgeon sued
