Wing Wizard Windy Miller

Bennett and Reed are not wing backs. Bell is not a defender.

Get rid of this ridiculous 3 at the back. It never works

Given that we are likely safe yet not good enough to get a top 6 spot, blooding the younger lads may be a better option. Give the likes of Nuttall, Butterworth, Grayson, Wharton etc a couple of first team games to see what they're about. Sink or swim scenario. Then spend accordingly in summer.

Shall we just reopen this thread on Jan 31st. Nowt happening before then I suspect.

Lot of love for Rodwell. Agree he looks composed on the ball. IMO He has a reluctance to attack the ball in the air- preferring to let it bounce which is no good for a cb. If he can develop that side of his game, he may well be an asset at the back.

Possibly - but better suited to playing the lone role than anyone bar Graham so at this moment of time, he should be at least on the bench.

Was he not on loan at Millwall last season and did well? Surely on his way there. We need a left back not a RB.

Nuttall looks like he has that natural striker knack of scoring scruffy goals. He's a decent height and got a bit of pace. Unless we bring in somebody considerably better, I would rather have him replacing Graham than any of our other options.

Well done Armstrong!

Yeah - we winning 2 0

Rodwell is a liability at the back. Doesn't attack the ball.

Deary me.

Evans injured. That's Smallwood walking back into the side

Nuttall has led the line quite well considering there hasn't been anyone within 30 yards of him. I think Bell is improving defensively but going forward and passing is dire. At least we are setting new records in boringness for the championship ?

Lol we've been doing that all season

Conway needs subbing.

Typical performance so far. Scrappy. No quality.

Nuttall had a decent start here to be fair.

No goals in this starting 11.

I'd have Hanley back in a heartbeat. Only 27 - aggressive/no nonsense defender. Old enough now to have matured a little. Very much in the Andy Todd mould for me.

Look harder...

Not afraid of that at all?

Wish we had a passer in the middle like Neves. Can't believe he's only 21. Class act - Young Tugay!

Thought we had Burnley then for a second!

I"be noticed that several times. Gets up against the last man through the middle but won't run past him through on goal. Weird.
