BankEnd Rover Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Well looking at Gallagher instagram I think we can say he's starting. Downing will most probably be starting on the left which I'm fine with and Graham up top again which I'm fine with. Rothwell on the bench again. Sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 It wouldn't surprise me if Mowbray picked Tosin at right back and Bennett at left back if he is sticking with a back four. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMailsTightPerm Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Whether the right thing or not - will make a prediction that Williams will move to left back - with Tosin at centre. Not seen Cardiff play for a while - but if they are a typical Warnock side - it would make sense. For most other teams (with Cunningham out) - would play Downing at LB to get Rothwell in the team.

If Bell is that useless as to not even be a suitable understudy then Mowbray should have moved him on in the window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete waste of a bench spot if he can’t be trusted should Cunningham be injured. Loan to L1 should be in the offing if he doesn’t start today. (I think he will - Mowbray can’t be stupid enough to put Williams there). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have moved Williams to LB then you can completely fuck off. You have been warned ! I’m sure that he takes your observations into consideration each time he picks his team....

Gary C Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 William's has excelled at CB so shouldn't move him to LB to cover Cunninghams ineligiblity. I'd grudgly play Bell there and keep the rest of the defence the same. I'd start with Downing and Rothwell out wide with Travis and Johnson in the centre with Dack playing just behind Graham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not try to solve one problem by creating another. It will have to be Bell or Tosin. I’m hoping that for one game Bell can hold it together but I fear my hope is misplaced. Tosin is non fullback either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess in case Johnson has to go off and we need someone to leave his foot in. Only language Warnock understands. For the same reasons as in the last ten games, whatever they are - hardly a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Happy-ish with that asides from Gallagher on the wing and Bennett at FB. Reckon we’ll be seeing both all season long though so I best get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher has been excellent in the wide position so far. Maybe it's not pretty, but Wilcox and Ripley weren't either but they sure we're effective..:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a 6’4 striker being stuck out wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 So Tosin and Brereton have not recovered and it is a same again except the forced change of Bell for Cunningham. I guess Mowbray half expects a battle with Smallwood on the bench. He can only come on if we are protecting a lead. Good to see both Buckley and Rankin-Costello on the subs.

Mattyblue Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Ripley and Wilcox were classic wingers that were a major factor in us us winning the Premier League title! ’Not pretty’ like having a lanky striker out there indeed! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think what game it was but I remember Ripley picking the ball up out wide right roughly half way into our own half and setting off on a dribble. He keep coming inside each time he beat an opponent and he must have beat about 6 or 7. He got right up to the opposing keeper and slipped the ball just wide of the post ! It would have been a goal of the season contender if it would have just gone the other side of the posts ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the free kick he won which led to the goal, I thought he was pretty average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think he would’ve started no matter who we were playing, I suspect it was more the ‘lanky’ than ‘striker attribute that made him a cert to start today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
