krislu Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 ROVERS: Friedel, Ooijer, Samba, Khizanishvili, Warnock, Emerton, Bentley, Reid, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, McCarthy. Subs: Brown (GK), Tugay, Mokoena, Derbyshire, Roberts. From the official site. Ooijer at RB, Emerton at RM and Bentley at CM? If thats the case then Hughes has got the line up completely wrong! Ooijer is no right back, should use him a centre back and stick emerton on right back. Also, Bentley IS a right winger and should be used there. Why not use Tugay or Mokoena in the centre along Reid? This is pure crazy, almost souness-like picking of players from Hughes! Luckely for us this will be a walk in the park anayway, Newcastle is so poor that we should have no trouble beating them regardless of our lineup...

I do agree that the line up is really disappointing, though. Emerton should be used as right back and right back only, and Ooijer is much better as centre half than right back. This really speaks volumes about how much Hughes rates Tugay and Mokoena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I agree with you and anyone saying that we should offer Tugay a new contract should really take a look at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krislu Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I agree with you and anyone saying that we should offer Tugay a new contract should really take a look at this. You are so right! Its laughable that we shift around the whole team when one central midfielder is out, while at the same time we have two natural central midfielers on the bench.

RibbleValleyRover Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I just hope these selection/position decisions aren't going to end up ruining our chances in what i consider to be a must win game. I guess we have to trust Sparky's decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Rover Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think some of you are confusing Ooijer and Zurab when it comes to playing RB. Zurab is putrid at RB; Ooijer captains Holland from the RB position, and has often played RB for us and done well. OK he does lack a bit of pace in comparison with Bert and Warnock, but he makes up for this with his excellent reading of the game and vast experience. In Hughes we must trust!! (Make this your mantra). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modes98 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 4 mins in and already Milner is causing us alot of problems. 2 dangerous attacks and Zurab on a final warning already. edit: 3 corners against in 6 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modes98 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 We sound awful though. Corners keep going against us. We haven't really got into the game yet, no time on the ball to pass it around. Still it's early and we are traditionally late starters. Although Emerton has sounded pretty good so far, a couple of good runs down the right and that snap shot that went wide.

RibbleValleyRover Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 We seem to be lacking that killer final ball at the moment. Results are going our way in two games, West Ham losing and Spurs who are only just 10 points behind us losing to Birmingham. Edit: *Cut apart by Owen, Gamst made a last ditch block to stop a goalbound shot.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony gale's mic Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 from BBC: Newcastle have been all over Blackburn. Damien Duff is running amok against his former club and has had one shot bundled away and skimmed another just wide. Alan Smith also had a good chance but saw his header dink over the bar. Blackburn are holding firm for now. :angry2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modes98 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If that was from the first 20mins then fair enough but the last 15mins have been very even. Apart from owen going around brad and missing a sitter just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
