BlabyFox Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 Pearson clearly likes to stick with the same team regardless of performances.He said on radio he doesn't want to change his tact now. He should definately drop Dyer and Howard for the next game though. Wrong
Tilley Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 Wrong He's a tit, he doesn't warrant a response 90% of the time.
Corky Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 Wrong Just ignore him. He's upset because people don't like his beloved Optimeter.
Fox92 Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 Very inconsistent. Probably why he never made it at a higher level. As for Howard, I thought he played well and did his job correctly.
colbo68 Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 The lad needs a breather and competition for the place. agree with you totally - he looks too knackered to take on his full-back, which wasnt the case earlier in the season - I think thats prob why he keeps on venturing inside - I'd give him a breather and try Chambers or Mattock down the left - for me, Mattock is a far better as an attacking threat than he is defending
Super Arj Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 i think its time to play ashley chambers on the left..
Cobbo Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 I think he needs a rest but I also think that sides now set up better to cope with him, making it harder for him to have an impact.
Guest Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 He should definately drop Dyer and Howard for the next game though. The thread title should give it away. If you need any further help, please do not be afraid to ask.
Father Ted Posted 15 February 2009 Posted 15 February 2009 He's been Dire () for the last 2 months. Had it not been for his goal against Northampton then he would have been dropped yesterday or earlier.
foxaholic Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Mattock doesn't have the pace to operate as a winger. He used to play that role in the Academy but was found to be better suited to the attacking full-back role with Ryan Beswick (a genuine crosser and passer of the ball) ahead of him.It's certainly true that Mattock needs to get into midfield and support attacks more tellingly but he really isn't quick enough to be more attacking and that lack of sustained pace means he's vulnerable if any move breaks down. It wasn't so bad when we had Tunchev because the Bulgarian was so quick to recognise potential problems from counter attackers and so calm and assured in dealing with them. But neither Hobbs nor Morrison have the same class which means that whoever we play out wide has to have either the pace or the vision (or both) to unlock defences either by going past people or by passing through and around them. I don't know how long he'll stay on punishment block but Porter is the best alternative for passing the ball - he and King are the best passers in the club by a distance - and Gradel should be a permanent option because in half-hour spells he has the potential to unlock any defence given the licence to try. Nicky Adams is a further option. Not that I'd abandon Dyer. He just needs the manager to refocus him and take the need away for him to pace himself through 90 minutes by having alternatives on the bench. If that was the case he could really have a go for one half or so and then let someone else take over. I don't see either why Nicky Adams shouldn't have a bench place too cos I'd rather see more attacking options on the bench than our limited options yesterday. Quite apart from the seriously underperforming Dickov why, for instance, have N'Gotty on he bench when I'm quite sure Berner or Andy King could fill in at centre-back in an emergency - certainly against the lone striker most opponents deploy and while our central defenders miss out central midfield in any case. What did Porter do to put him on punishment block
Jimmy Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 What did Porter do to put him on punishment block dunno about in the summer but he went AWOL early in the season
King Cal Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Great player and been a big part of our success this season, but since christmas hasn't tracked back and helped out, hasn't looked threatening in attack, and don't put the opposition under pressure. Played alot of games just think he needs two games off, revitalise himself.
King Cal Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I think Lloyd Dyer was punching above his weight at the start of the season,he was released from a league 2 side and that is his standard!Gradel should be on the left as he is a far better and skillfull player. We need to get dj back or a finisher as Fryatt looks out of it at the moment,he needs a couple of games on the bench.Howard is playing well at the moment,Dickov should be released as he offers us nothing! Agree with what you saying about Matty, think Lloyd needs same sort of thing couple of games rest. Dickov is a complete waste o space nowadays, Hayles loks a better player and i cant stand him either. Give Chambers a game alongside Big Steve and why not let Sappleton have a few games on the bench as cover for Steve see if he offers us anything
Number 6 Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Needs a couple of games off and can then come back to terrorize his old club!
Joe. Posted 17 February 2009 Author Posted 17 February 2009 Needs a couple of games off and can then come back to terrorize his old club! That would be fecking beautiful for him to get a goal against them.
lildave3 Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 That would be fecking beautiful for him to get a goal against them. It's destiny.
Ric Flair Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 I'd personally rather see Gradel or Chambers in for Dyer right now. He's been guff for months now and yet is allowed to get away with it. I'm still confident he's good enough to re-find his earlier form, but he needs to earn his place in the team, not just assume he'll get the gig each week.

Tj454 Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Put Gradel out there and bring Berner into the centre of midfield. Cleverley to right back / benched. Gradel is great at skills but loses possesion too much
Jimmy Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Gradel is great at skills but loses possesion too much he's also the most likely to create something out of nothing, as for losing possession, if his team mates had more movement around him he could pass to them and carry on his run but we tend to play a very rigid 4-4-2
Anish Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Got subbed again after 60 minutes so he can't have been much good. Time for the axe to fall on Dyer I say.
