[FredZeppelin]

Disappointing.

Should play full strength side I think

 

[Muttley]

Hmmmmm.
FA cup not important then. A bit of a blow to those travelling.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

well this is gonna be interestin!!

 

[zablade]

The only thing I can't understand Is if we are resting players to avoid injuries why are two of our key midfield play makers starting?

 

[brownie4583]

Hussey?????

 

[wizadry]

Hussey?????

Hussey can't do much worse than Lafferty recently. He's been very ineffective to say the least.

 

[Blade for Sale]

Not sure what some people expect, team showing signs of tiredness in the league, of course he's going to rest a few! Looks like a competitive side to me with plenty of options on the bench.

Suspicious post

Suspicious post

Not that suspicious, I was thinking the same Lets hope they prove us wrong!

 

[BerksBlade]

Wright & Wilson injured, EE-L refused permission to play. So we're a bit stretched for defensive cover.

Burn Cross, nuff said.

Could be O'Connell

 

[BigBed]

I think they're more than holding their own, and against an almost full strength and big Bolton side.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Hussey is shite

 

[mancunianblade]

I have no issue with going out here against a full strength Bolton side. I know people say a winning mentality etc etc, but cup runs havent helped us get out of this league to date, aslong as Bolton pick a couple of knocks then ill be fine with this as it is

 

[FredZeppelin]

Burn Cross, nuff said.

Why is 'Burncross' suspicious? Jealous or something?
Not sure why expressing doubt regarding a weakened line up (...and yes, I know some regular starters are unavailable) shoud be regarded as 'suspicious'.
Hope with all my heart I'm wrong but I just find it disappointing, that's all.

Why don't you ask the bloke who put suspicious? Never knew Burn Cross was anything to be jealous of. My only experience was a girl I went out with from there in my late teens. She certainly wasn't high class but I wasn't complaining at the time.

 

[BigBed]

Clarke is woeful today, get him off, sharp on.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Clarke is woeful today, get him off, sharp on.

Lavery no better.

More evidence these two not shaping up well for us for remainder of season.

Personally, I'd look to offload Clarke in January while there will still be takers for his services. Frees up a spot up front and a wage for a striker who can make a positive contribution !

We need 2 strikers in January,1 a target man,and let Clarke go if anyone comes in for him.

 

[Caseh]

I would be ecstatic if we unloaded Clarke, I've always maintained he is the wrong player for us. Lavery was in the awkward position I think, that Sharp would have made his game easier, it's hard to run at people when there is no movement.

But the main 2 things I got from the game are 1) Lafferty is miles ahead of Hussey 2) Ramsdale is absolute class. Very unfair on the lad to have conceded 3 goals.

 

[derryblade]

What other club are going to offer Clarke a 3 year deal, reckon he won't be going anywhere.

There would be L2 and lower L1 clubs mesmerised by his prior record, not unlike 1 or 2 on ere !!!

Reality is that ship has sailed and no top half L1 side with promotion aspirations would even be remotely interested.

But not on a 3 year deal

At nearly 31 years old?

No fucker!

 

[larkymasher]

Apart from Duffy, the line up is of no surprise at all, and it surprises me that anyone is questioning it.

The league is the only priority we should be looking at.

Ramsdale for Moore.............. this is the only chance for Ramsdale to play first team football

Lavery for Sharp.......... Most people agree Lavery needs some game time and after Sharps penalty miss, a rest was required.

Scougal for Duffy............ i am confused

Brown for EEL............. for what its worth i would have played young Semple with O'Connell one side of him and Basham on the other. Brown has been a disaster.

Hussey for Lafferty................. for me it's like for like and Hussey needed game time.

Oh, and i think Clarke on a three year deal is looking like CWs worst decision of the Summer. Although if we go up who gives a shit.

 

[albinonick]

Ramsdale let no one down and on that performance he can do a job in league 1 at 18! Should we decide on the edge of their box to shoot we may score!! U have to be in it to win it!! Bossed the game but didn"t buy a ticket to the raffle. Only when billy can on was there an energy up front! Billy on with 20 to go we would have got a replay or a victory!!

You know my thoughts on Ramsdale Albi.

He is a top player and a top lad. I just feel he needs to play more games for his own development. Not sure what you think?

Is he getting enough experience from being around the first team every day and on the bench or would he benefit from playing week in week out down a league or two to learn his trade?
That said, i do agree that he is more than capable of playing L1 even at his young age... Since the signing of Moore it is clear he will have to bide his time, hence maybe play every week on loan.
