MikeyT Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Faz having to have a word with Mills on the pitch? Looks like Millsy ain't happy. "A forlorn figure" according to Stringer.
topharry123 Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Good to see him making changes and trying something different. It didn't come together on Saturday and a lot of managers would put it down to a one off. Think Sven is still trying to figure out his best team, as we all are really! Though bit of a suprise that Schlupp is not even on the bench, is he injured or something? Would be nice to have seen him have a few mins at the end!
shen Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Mills, Danns, Paintsil and Abe dropped. At least no-one will be able to blame Sven for having 'chosen men'! Although no doubt people like Thracian will have a go at Schlupp being dropped Edit: Vassell suspended

Guest Col city fan Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 I don't think it's any surprise. If we are loose at the back the crowd will get on his back and turn against him, and we could do without that, and it would be nice to get the first 3 home points on the board. ? Dont show a lot of confidence in your captain and big signing though do it?
Walker Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Delighted with this team. Definitely would have been my 'fantasy' selection, well done Sven!
B52 Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Can't really argue with that team, nice to see Sven being proactive. Peltier deserved to be recalled after injury and Mills needed a kick up the arse after Saturday, chance for St.Ledger to stake his claim. Good to see King in the side, hopefully will provide us with an extra goal threat. Gallagher and in particular Dyer should provide us with some much needed width. Up to the players now to go out there and put in a performance. This is great. Sven shows the players that they can get into action. They're not forgotten. But we will still have the moaners complaining why Sven shifted so many players..
MikeyT Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 what about the bench ? weale,mills,waghorn,danns,abe
Salieri Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 what about the bench ? Matt Mills, Martyn Waghorn, Chris Weale, Yuki Abe, Neil Danns.
Floridafox Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 The team selection shows a side to Sven that I didn' t know existed. Mills will come good; it took Walshie I don't know how long to click but when he finally did the rest is legend
drc Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Svein isn't soft and never has been #fact Still he's not a screaming manager
sphericalfox Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 ? Dont show a lot of confidence in your captain and big signing though do it? Maybe it doesn't show a lot of confidence in the fans more like!
darko2k7 Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Going to give 5 live a chance tonight. Whats the commentators like? Are they as anti Leicester as sky? if so i'll stick to stringer and co.
drc Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Matt Mills, Martyn Waghorn, Chris Weale, Yuki Abe, Neil Danns. cheers bro
sphericalfox Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Going to give 5 live a chance tonight. Whats the commentators like? Are they as anti Leicester as sky? if so i'll stick to stringer and co. As my absence indicates my challenge for the most plastic fan of the year, i shall be listening to 5 Live. I do hope it's the lady commentator from last year.....she was dead good <_< And yes they are just as bad as Sky.
drc Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 If now Mills is so angry I think he's childish. He got the armband and he knows about the competition. In this squad you have to have a reality check even if you have the armband. Still I want our players to want to play so hopefully he's just dissapointed and understand that even him could be on the bench
Bilbo Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 Hmm I'm pleased with the line up apart from Mills being dropped. I went to the match on Saturday and yes he had an off game, however how do you expect the guy to improve if you drop him straight away? The same goes for the rest of the new players. Also he's the player that Sven has chosen to be Captain and for that reason I find it strange that Sven feels he can be dropped so easily. It's a risky strategy by Sven that I hope pays off. However it could result in a very unhappy squad, whether it's warranted or not.

If we are loose at the back the crowd will get on his back and turn against him, and we could do without that, and it would be nice to get the first 3 home points on the board. Could you see allardyce dropping Nolan after one bad game? Looks like St ledger has got his way? Anyway hope it works..
drc Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 we have a rotation squad - end of. Also we can't be 100 % that Mills isn't feeling a small injury or something. We at the forum during the match are just not-at-the-match-listening-to-the-idiots-at-the-radio-knobs.
Charl91 Posted 17 August 2011 Posted 17 August 2011 In form players need to be played. I hope it's because St Ledger has been better in training though, and not because he has kicked up a fuss.

However it could result in a very unhappy squad, whether it's warranted or not. He was absolutely right to drop him in my opinion. The whole point of having a good squad is to provide competition and show that if your performances drop below the required standard then you will be dropped, no matter who you are. The majority of players would accept this and strive to improve and do better when their chance arises again. If they sulk and are not prepared to fight for their place, they can go elsewhere.
