Head Honcho Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 It's not healthy having a player suspended,but i think we got him covered. Let's hope this will be a lesson to all the players. We can't win matches with Eleven players nevermind Ten
Hullfox Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 On form this season, absolutely not. Stearman should be there on merit. Maybury has been there on reputation.
Thracian Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 Gives Levein a chance to play the guy who should be in that position. Hopefully he'll do the same with Sheehan while he's at it.
Nationwider Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 Maybury is a good player, who's not had the best of starts to this season. I'm sure he'll be back after his 3 game ban. I'd like to see Stearman and Maybury accomodated in the same XI as I think they are two of the best eleven players at the club. Hopefully Stearman will seize his chance over the next 3 games and make it impossible for CL to leave him out.

cisono Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 Maybury is a good player, who's not had the best of starts to this season. I'm sure he'll be back after his 3 game ban. Agreed. And it can happen to any player... in fact, it probably DOES happy to any player at some point. I'd like to see Stearman and Maybury accomodated in the same XI as I think they are two of the best eleven players at the club. Hopefully Stearman will seize his chance over the next 3 games and make it impossible for CL to leave him out. I have to agree with you here too. Sorry for not adding much to what you said, but I felt the need to simply say that I agree with you 100% there.
Head Honcho Posted 25 September 2005 Author Posted 25 September 2005 not at all. my team VS brighton -----------------------Douglas--------------------- Stearman ------ Nissa ------ Dublin ------ Sheehan Sylla ------- Hughes ------- Gudjonsson ---- Hammill ----------------De Vries ------ Hume --------------- Subs : Henderson, Hammond, Tiatto, Wilcox, McCarthy Good well balanced team there. I fancy Hume to shine against a team like Brighton,that's no disrespect to them,it's just that QPR are a much more physical side then them and set their stall out on Saturday for a bit of a tear up.
Anish Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 On form this season, absolutely not. Stearman should be there on merit. Maybury has been there on reputation. Agreed.
Gené and Tonic Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 agree with the side, although I'd rather have Hammond instead of MDV
Gené and Tonic Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 also, I think Stearman should be played at centre back a few times this season, Levein says he is a centre back, and he can only progress by being played there. We have got nothing to lose really.
Blue Arrow Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 I hiope stearman plays and he plays well
King Kyle lcfc Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 I take it none of you think we will miss mcCarthy against The sheep shaggers then.
Gené and Tonic Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 not on past performances no. Although he could be the man to inspire the side.
cisono Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 I take it none of you think we will miss mcCarthy against The sheep shaggers then. he could be the man to inspire the side I do... I will. But I was waiting for someone else to make the point before me He can indeed be inspiring to the team ...
Durnerz Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 Stearmans better than Maybury, has better anticipation and gets forward more and it stronger in the challenges plus his aerial ability is good. A class above Maybury thus far. We know how Maybury can play, but he's not producing it.
Thracian Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 As with others it'd be nice to see him play in his most effective position - just behind the front two. I explained why it wouldn't work having him as a main striker with MDV. He's suited to being the "hole" player cos he can run swiftly on to lay offs, he can play long or short passes himself and he can move wide left or right and he's got a good shot. Again, it all fits perfectly with 4-3-3 (or 4-4-2 for that matter if Hammond and MDV are forward). Why doesn't Levein realise that?. Why play him as a main striker? He needs to be at the hub of things.
Gené and Tonic Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 I assume your talking about Hume there.
Scow Posted 25 September 2005 Posted 25 September 2005 Maybury has a had a poor start and won't be missed over the next few games, especially if Stearman is allowed to play there. Levein could play Kisnorbo at right back (Who was OK when played there) but I would prefer Stearman, who offers more going forward. Stearman does get caught out at times, but that is down to experience. On the whole, Stearman has played better than Maybury at right back this season, so I hope he takes his chance over the next three games.
lookwhaticando Posted 26 September 2005 Posted 26 September 2005 Maybe during Maybury's absence Stearman will do a lot to secure himself a first team place for a much longer period - perhaps he will be tested at centre alongside Dublin, Gerrbrand, McCarthy or Nissa against one of the 'weaker' (less physical) sides - just to see how he copes at centre. If he's supposed to be a central defender, why not play him there? I think the defence and midfield should be straightened out sooner rather than later. The midfield needs to be settled a bit - get players playing in their natural positions - Hughes to the centre would be a start.
Ric Flair Posted 26 September 2005 Posted 26 September 2005 If Kisnorbo plays there i'll be very angry, he's offered us nothing this season as had Maybury. Stearman on the other hand is very reliable and effective wherever he plays. Levein needs to pick players on merit not on reputation, something I never thought would be an issue with Craig.
BenFilbert Posted 26 September 2005 Posted 26 September 2005 He sometimes plays good, sometimes crap.
cisono Posted 26 September 2005 Posted 26 September 2005 He sometimes plays good, sometimes crap. Who are you referring to? I saw Maybury today. He seemed repentant... he knows he has something to work on...
Ric Flair Posted 26 September 2005 Posted 26 September 2005 Who are you referring to? I saw Maybury today. He seemed repentant... he knows he has something to work on... Been down the training ground again? Are you one of those football groupies, always hanging around the training ground? Had any flings with the players yet?
Bluefoxtim Posted 26 September 2005 Posted 26 September 2005 Last season I thought he was one of our most important players but I dont think he has done much this season
