Haydos Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 King, Wellens and Abe have all played a lot of games this season. King got into a lot of promising positions today and I don't think he looked any worse than Abe or Wellens. He was on the end of a lot of moves so I honestly didn't think he looked tired. (Any more than he normally does )
dannythefox Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 You could be right he looked like he was blowing a little today but we have to massive games coming up so i dought it will be anytime soon!
Cropwellfox Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 if i was svennis i'd be scouring the free agents list for a midfielder - or consider loaning one in much as i hate the number of loans we've already got. Bert is spot on, King was half a yard off today - We'll need some help in midfield between now and the end of the season and unfortunately Oakley isn't it.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 He has a week without a game now, so hopefully he will be ready for Saturday.
Guest ttfn Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 We can't begin to consider resting him until Scunthorpe. I think we'd probably have to move Gallagher into his role for any games he missed or play 4-4-2
Topman Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 I know he score vital goal for us, but the only king I heard on the radio was the women beater
Narborough_fox Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 Give him a rest until Wednesday get him training on Thursday + Friday, play Saturday. Sorted.
shailen Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 Yes but who will replace him. Go 442 and naughton n PVA cant get forward.
North-LondonFox Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 Our midfield is a strange one for me. Abe, King and Wellens can all be class, but then on other occasions they seem to lose control of games quite easily. I tend to think we need a real presence in the midfield with Wellens and King to take us to the next level. Perhaps we should try Bamba in there with Bruma and Mee at CB. Kingy is fantatsic but still needs to do a bit more for me. He has all the attributes to be more influential in games i'm sure he wll develop but I think we need a bit more from him.
Swalker Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 I agree he does need a rest but who should replace him because our only midfield cover is Oakley and he is 1. not good enough and 2. can't lay that role. with Moussa out on loan do we have an attacking mid at the club apart from King
marbelladave Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 King was actually OK today, fairly typical if unspectacular performance. The only difference was that he did not score, missed one decent chance and could not quite get on the end of a couple more. That made the difference, had he scored the winning goal.....
Guest Bilo Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 If he is blowing a bit, is it any surprise really? He's been an absolute ever-present in midfield for THREE seasons, and the number of games he has missed can probably be counted in single figures. It's a remarkable achievement but he isn't Superman, it's going to show eventually. The problem is, when the hell can we rest him? Resting him on Saturday would be suicide and resting him the following Tuesday would be risky to say the least. The next opportunity would be at Scunny but I still wouldn't advocate his total dropping from the squad and he'd be among the first chaps off the bench if needs be.
CosbehFox Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Personally think the whole middle 3 are looking knackered! Two of them were involved in a non-event of a pre-season whilst Abe's had little rest considering the J League's calendar and his World Cup part.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Well they've got a whole week off now so no excuses next Saturday. (apart from the fact that we are playing top of the league obviously)
ozleicester Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 King has had a rest for the past 3 weeks! (oh yes i said it) hes not alone though.
ibbosuk Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Or is it just me? It's just you... Mr Flappy looks absolutely knackered though...
Corky Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 Possibly, but we'd take out a significant goal threat, so Sven has to weigh it up.
paddy Agyemang Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 rest him when we play scunny not now i think we shud rest ABE on saturday and put oakley in and play more counter attack against Qpr n mayb start gally n dyer on the wings dropping vassell n then bring him on after the hour for the yak
Swalker Posted 27 February 2011 Posted 27 February 2011 rest him when we play scunny not now i think we shud rest ABE on saturday and put oakley in and play more counter attack against Qpr n mayb start gally n dyer on the wings dropping vassell n then bring him on after the hour for the yak Oakley!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nooooo please, I'd rather have a tired Abe- Oakley's touch is shocking and his lightweight. If you drop Abe you play Bruma with Bamba and Mee centre backs. Bruma played well against Cardiff and looks comfortable on the ball and has a rocket shot. He also lets Bamba go forward on the ball and Bruma can just cover him. Dyer- even worse call. 2 chances in the last 2 games to prove his worth to Sven and both times he has gone unnoticed. Not strong enough and has poor distribution and his finishing isn't strong. Personally after the game he had on Sat I would stay with Vassel- he adds a touch of quality and the threat of just rotating with the Yak. Or if you for some reason want to drop Vassel atleast give Waggy his well earned chance. He should be higher up the order than dyer.
