Guest MattP Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 whats wrong with hooper,pantanyou,schlupp i am sure there are others. Schulpp is very inconsistent and very often a poor finisher. He's going to be a far better asset down the left side. The other two are nowhere near ready to be playing for a team near the top of the championship.
ealingfox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 I agree. Then when I make a thread saying we could do with a couple of loans (winger and a striker) people scoff at the idea. Just saying We still have plenty of options for this weekend though, even with a testing amount of unavailability. We'd still be pretty dangerous at home with one up top for instance. Davies is a hoof and set-pieces merchant so having three in the middle to pick up loose/second balls is a sound idea also.
Ric Flair Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Keep Jeff at left back, start GTF and then lob Hopper on when he's fooked. Konchesky can come on if Jeff is getting torn a new one. Let's have faith in our academy.
Itsthejoeker Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Knockaert upfront and Schlupp on the wing?
StanSP Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Could they not just get on the same jet? They tried talking to West Ham to arrange this. But as above if Winston Reid isn't going, and they can't get a private jet in time for Saturday after the match, then the only option is to send Wood out on the plane with the rest of the NZ players. But, as a club, we should have foreseen this happening as soon as we knew NZ would play these matches and have various plans for travel arrangements in place whilst ensuring Wood can play as well.

Happy Fox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Club football before international football f**k me what right do New Zealand have f**King us around.
Lambert09 Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 As previously stated It could be a great chance for tom hopper, he's been in good form for the under 21's. Coming off the bench with a load to prove in a big game with the crowd having little expectation could be ideal for him.

You realise it's close to a sell out, we are 2nd and it's a home game against Forest yeah?
red5 Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 We'll just bring James or Hammond in and let DD/King push further forward.
goose2010 Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 start 4-4-2 with GTF up top 60 mins switch to 4-5-1 take him off bring on hammond / James to see out the game.
deep blue Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 A not fully fit Vardy starts. Gets his hattrick in 20 minutes. GTF comes on. Job done. Alternatively, he gets crocked cos he's not fully recovered and is out for the next 6 weeks. I'd hate to see him played if there's that risk; would rather hold our nerve and put our faith in the rest of the squad. If Hopper is sent on then he might be too raw and add little to our goalscoring ability, but even so, as long as he's prepared to put himself about in a Vardy-esque way then he will contibute to the team effort. On the other hand, he might step up to the mark and surprise us all.
Ric Flair Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Let's have faith in whats got us to 2nd before that. But if Wood is unavailable and Vardy is injured then i'd rather we reward a kid whose done well in the academy than completely re-shuffle the pack to accomodate the dilemma. Schlupp's ability up front is erratic and i'd rather he stay at left back or left wing. I'm sure we can cope with GTF playing until he's blowing out his arse and then either lob Hopper on, or go Nugent through the middle with Knockaert and Dyer just behind. This could be Tommy Wright II all over again, lob Hopper on (I don't know why I keep using that term but it's sticking) vs these bastards and he scores the winner 1-0 and we finish 2nd and get promoted. Job done.
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Not overly concerned by this, would be more worried if we were missing a defender such as Morgan
Lionator Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Couldn't we just play 4-3-3/4-5-1 with Dyer-Nuge-Knocky base up front? King, DD and James or Hammond in the middle? You'd have GTF, Hopper and Schlupp who can slot in at any point in the second half. There's bags of goals in this side.
sylofox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 whats wrong with hooper,pantanyou,schlupp i am sure there are others. Not sure about him but we could try playing Hopper
Jobyfox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Couldn't we just play 4-3-3/4-5-1 with Dyer-Nuge-Knocky base up front? King, DD and James or Hammond in the middle?

If Vardy is not fit and Wood is absent then I believe that this is exactly the plan that NP will go with.
foxesfan98 Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Why not have miquel left back and schlupp up front with nugent
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 I reckon GTF will start up front with Nugent
cjslcfc Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 I reckon GTF may start as well. All depends on Konch's fitness as it sounds more likely he may be fit than Vardy. If so, we may see Schlupp up front and him LB
Guest Col city fan Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 If people are happy to see GTF start this game then I'm surprised. Our success has been founded upon a Vardy/Nugent partnership and understanding, pace and consistency in the side. GTF is slow, and he's in his twilight years as a footballer. To be relying on him as the starter in a difficult game against our rivals is misplaced IMO. He may well play ok. But his inclusion may change the way we play. At the moment that's not a good thing to do.
Jace Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Would love to see GTF start he was majestic when he came on against Watford, won everything and had a magical touch on the ball except that 1 time he fell over on his ass. Could see him being the next Ian Marshall for us

Jace Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 That makes no sense.., Lmao I have no idea what happened there I hope it was spellchecker
StanSP Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Lmao I have no idea what happened there I hope it was spellchecker I think it was the magical touch and then comparing him to Ian Marshall .
