Bert Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 For some reason I fancy us to win here. Would make one change and bring in Waghorn for King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 I'd go with: Schmeichel De Laet Morgan Whitbread Schlupp James Drinkwater Knockaert Marshall Dyer Waghorn Subs: Logan, Moore, Konchesky, King, Nugent, Futacs, Wellens. Rest King and Nugent bearing in mind we have another game on new years day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Maybe bring Wellens back in for this one? at least on the bench? Also-are we more aiming for play offs now that Cardiff are a massive 12 points ahead of us?

Munshi Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Need a win imo. Kasper RDL Moore Morgan Konch James King Knockaert Waghorn Dyer Nugent Drop whitbread as all he ever does is long balls and I think thats whats holding us back. Nuge on his own again but waggy behind him would help the link up play from midfield to strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Tough game, always is at Turf Moor. I believe we can win though, and we do need those three points. Yeah drop Whitbread and play our centre back with the least experience against Charlie Austin. Brilliant I would as well. Whitbread does play stupid long balls and seems to foul a hell of a lot, I can't imagine how much he would foul Austin. Moore impressed me earlier in the season, and seemed to deal with other top strikers. I'd rather Moore play ahead of Whitbread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storming Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Whitbread plays to many long balls but only half as many as Kasper I wish he'd stop them big boots they are 60/40 balls in the defences favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 With the Whitbread debate we're looking at the Kisnorbo-McAuley debate that used to go on here. All sound no-nonsense defenders which contributed to the best defence in the division BUT... a case could be heavily argued that their poor distribution led to lower goalscoring tallys...

Phil Bertstreet Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Drop whitbread as all he ever does is long balls and I think thats whats holding us back. Just think of all the extra goals and points we would have had from the last three games without Whitbread playing......and no doubt the best defence in the Championship would have conceded less goals too.....maybe even at Hull....... IMO it would be better if the midfield (and strikers for that matter) moved around (just a little bit every now and then if they aren't too busy) to give defenders some short ball options. The only short ball option the defence ever get is to each other :xmasangry: Need strong CB's against Charlie Austin if we don't want to see us losing by more than one goal in the League for the first time this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 I'd imagine Big Wes will be given the job of handling Austin. Didn't NP say Keane may be available for Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Whitbread improved his distribution in the second half. It's not his fault Konchesky never gives him an angle, the midfield don't collect the ball and Marshall does fvck all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 I think whitbread would get dominated even more imo How would they dominate Whitbread? He is strong and wins everything in the air. People like Patterson don't really play it on the floor like Simpson and Aluko did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin can score from the floor to and I think whitbreads defensive positioning lets him down at times.Tough choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlock Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 To paraphrase John Cooper Clarke " i don't never want to go to Burnley, what they do there don't concern me...." For those making the journey and others suffering Stringer,like me,I hope our defence snuffs out the Austin threat. Other than his 20 goal contribution Burnley don't appear to offer a major goal threat. We stopped the losses yesterday,time to build another good run if we are to maintain any hope of success this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Good debate on who to play at centre back, personally I would go with Joey Jones Would like to see this team, as I don't think it's necessary to play three in midfield against Burnley. Schmeichel De Laet, Whitbread, Morgan, Schlupp Knockaert, James, Drinkwater, Dyer Waghorn, Nugent Subs - Logan, Moore/Keane, Konchesky, King, Gallagher, Marshall, Futacs/Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndore Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Watching yesterday, the part Moore played in the 2nd half was excellent, added to Knockaerts contribution. Wonder how he would have coped in the 1st half thou, but Moore and Schlupp for me at full back. Marshall is our Downing, one flash of brilliance every 5 games, we can't afford that. James is no Davies or Cleverley, lessens the activity in mid field for me, stick to Dyer,King,Drinky they combine well at times and accomodate Knockaert. Whitbread and Morgan very solid. Upfront I'm a Nugent, Vardy man, how come I always sit with the Waggy, Waggy, Waggy brigade who seem to be watching a different game to me, what did he bring yesterday, a good corner when he went for glory, little else. Which brings me to the untouchable Jasper, great save only 15yds in front of me yesterday when Aluko was thro', but a cross comes in on the 6yd line and he's still debating what to do when Whitbread clears. We need a new keeper who can dominate, thats our route to success, every other part is in place. They say football is a game of opinions,your welcome to mine.

Guest ttfn Posted 27 December 2012 Share Posted 27 December 2012 Knockaert will score at least once. He is starting to get into the groove again. I'd go with: Schmeichel De Laet Morgan Moore Schlupp Knockaert King James Dyer Nugent Waghorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
