Tom17LCFC Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 King did look very tidy in his cameo against Bolton tbf, 100% fit, long rest, point to prove. Confident in him today.
DennisNedry Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Why oh why drop Drinkwater and James who have been awesome?? Â Hammond has shown nothing yet, and you never know which Andy King you're going to get.
Aus Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 No Trotter for Millwall, should help us avoid injuries.
Wycombe Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 You clearly weren't at Hillsborough  ...or Brighton
foxfanazer Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Why oh why drop Drinkwater and James who have been awesome?? Hammond has shown nothing yet, and you never know which Andy King you're going to get. Yeah I'm sure he's dropped them based on them playing poorly
Happy Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 With Hammond next to him it should allow King to get forward
davieG Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Isn't this the first game Drinky's not started, 28 games.
Corky Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Brave selection, hope it pays off. Surprised that James is out, Drinkwater not so much as he's played every game and is probably carrying a knock or two. Â Two biggest threats in Knockaert and Dyer are playing, hoping that King who played at Watford turns up today.
Fox42 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 He's gone experimental before on New Years against Palace two years ago. Worked then.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Team selection is a bit of a strange one. Â Why mess about with a team thats won 3 on the bounce? Vardy excluded I dont see why hes changed it. Â If hes gonna mess about with the side or feel the need to rest players then do it next week V Stoke in a game that doesn't really count!
Babylon Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Why oh why drop Drinkwater and James who have been awesome?? Â Hammond has shown nothing yet, and you never know which Andy King you're going to get. Because DD tends to play every single game, he can't do that. De Laet is coming back from injury, Konchesky is aging, DD plays every game. Only one I find puzzling is James as he's not played half the games this year. NP places great emphasis on sports science, they will know who needs a rest.
Corky Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 He's gone experimental before on New Years against Palace two years ago. Worked then. Â That was on the back of a poor run and dire performances though.
lgfualol Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 We'll be 5-1 up at 63rd minute and the game will get cancelled because GTF has turned into a wobstacle.
Wink Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 We've fielded almost the same 11 over the festive period. Clearly some players need a rest, every team selection is a gamble. If we come away with 3 pts then well done Nige!!
dmayne7 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Why oh why drop Drinkwater and James who have been awesome?? Â Hammond has shown nothing yet, and you never know which Andy King you're going to get. Â The one word I would use to describe Andy King is consistent. Don't think I've ever seen him have a really bad game. Had plenty of quiet ones but he's goes about his business without any fuss. He's a perfectly solid choice.
DennisNedry Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Yeah I'm sure he's dropped them based on them playing poorly  Didn't say that, did I?  I reckon we'll be outmuscled, like we often are away from home against physical sides.
MGLCFC Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 It's a busy period and if we have a decent squad we should cope. This is not only our 4th game in 12 days but also Millwall's and I'd like to think our squad player's are better than theirs. Plenty of physical strength in the team with a strong back 4, Hammond in midfield and GTF upfront. Added to some pace and trickery out wide - this might be a good selection - certainly feel DD, MJ and Konch deserve a rest.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Fair play, Knocky's missus and his entourage are on the back row. Barmy army.
coolhandfox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 We burn't out last season, he need to protect players and is more than likely expecting Millwall to try and bully us, also sounds like the conditions aren't ideal for free following football.
Micky Posted 1 January 2014 Author Posted 1 January 2014 This is basically the same squad (minus Vardy) that we have used for a long time. It is a squad game and these lads will be well up for it. It is an opportunity to stake a claim and also a chance to keep the run going for the TEAM. Come on city!!!!!!!
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Waso at RB again?! Surely just put Moore there and Waso CB i hope. Â Hopefully the changes dont back fire
halferowley2 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/p403x403/1558521_10152106744632769_2138123272_n.jpg Dated 1/1/13 is the rest of it accurate?
foxfanazer Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Didn't say that, did I? I reckon we'll be outmuscled, like we often are away from home against physical sides. Well I think it's pretty self explanatory why he's dropped them. Regardless of them playing awesome which I'm sure Pearson is well aware of, they need a rest. I'd have preferred it to have been against Stoke but he'll know the condition of the players more than us
