Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Let's have a guessing game to guess how many changes from the last starting line up. I'm going for 3. Quote

Doug Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Very negative board today, thankfully we aren't in the relegation mix as many predicted as this place would be a proper moanfest. 3 points off 4th, possibly our best position in several years. So, we may now be short of Dack, Nyambe, Evans and Tosin, therefore selection changes will be required. I think TM will resort to type and play Bennett at RB and Arma at RM (both Urgh). We have very little strength in depth. Huddersfield will be a tough ask as seem to have improved of late and we are looking a little one dimensional.

Husky Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 4 hours ago, Stuart said: When Travis first came in he was a breath of fresh air. A huge upgrade on Lowe, forward passes, taking the ball forward, high energy, all-action tackles and alway looking to make something happen. He seems different these days, more conservative. Like he has been moulded into Mowbray’s type of CM. Players don’t shine for long under this regime. It’s all about the team work ethic then find Dack and he’ll finish. Well somebody else needs that remit now. These guys would have turned a young Messi into David Batty. 2 Quote

Given the now likely absentees Walton Bennett Lenihan Williams Downing Armstrong Travis Johnson Rothwell Holtby Graham Is it? Just seems the same as normal. Still not sure why people still push this negative vs positive thing or even speak of agendas. It’s only words from people you’ll likely never meet.... Quote
Darwen Rover 007 Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Is Rankin Castello a RB? If so would put him in ahead of Bennett. Quote
JBiz Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 23 minutes ago, Doug said: Walton Bennett Lenihan Williams Downing Armstrong Travis Johnson Rothwell Holtby Graham That’s with 5 arguably first team players out; Dack, Evans, Cunningham, Tosin, and Nyambe. Still not a bad team - although I hope Tosin is back and I hope Bennett isn’t CM 1 Quote

But, we are in a reasonable position and I think a lot of teams are down to bare bones due to fatigue and injuries and they will also be playing their peripheral players. We need to hope that Lenihan comes through the game unscathed as our CD positions may become a real problem if Tosin is also out for the NYD game. 1 Quote

As for being less dynamic, again, not sure what mowbray can do about that. The players have their fitness programmes. Maybe playing men's football is just more difficult week in week out. He gives 100% alright but the way people were talking about him,I expected more. I read an article on Sky sports news last week about who are the top young players in the championship. Travis did not get a mention and I didn't see anyone complaining about that. I acknowledge the way we play does somewhat limit what the cms do,but Travis has underwhelmed regardless of that imo If Travis is poor at passing what does that say about Bennett? His passing is absolutely horrific 1 Quote

G Somerset Rover Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 One thing I am sure of is there will be a number of changes again - expect the usual 5-6. Consistency is not key under this regime. Quote
Bigdoggsteel Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Stuart said: This just proves the point. A less attack-minded Travis plays more under Mowbray and is less effective. Pretty much sums things up for several players. Including the reverse argument. You are ignoring personal responsibility due to your blinkered dislike of the manager. If you make the case that Travis started well,but has not continued that, would that not mean he therefore can play well under the manager? 2 Quote

Evans was certainly better in some games, as was Johnson. Overall you could make the case for Travis alright. I still think he is better than this though. Quote
