Clueless. Why are we moving Grant to accommodate Christophe ?

7 subs whoooooooooooopieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[SUFCStu]

Not sure who is playing on the right nothing been posted our OS but going by the Bristol rovers site then it looks like Grant.

If it is then :(

We're away from home against a team with a decent midfield and a strong partnership up front. Expect it to be a solid midfield three with Moussa playing off them and Francis adopting the right wing role whenever possible.

I'd rather have that than have Le Sulk floundering on the right hand side again.

exactly what i was thinking. we need grant protecting the defence. bad decision i feel.

It's unnecessary change though, Grant's done well in the middle since coming back in and we know it doesn't do a player any good getting pulled from pillar to post, just look at Francis.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I feel for Sankofa aswell, but I suppose that comes as no surprise to see Barrett come back in.

1. Wait and see how they form up.

2. That was the midfield that nearly saw us into the play-offs in the second half of last season.

Players are in very different form now though.

Well, it's not unnecessary as Scannell is injured, so somebody had to come into the midfield. Away from home, I have no qualms with JFC coming and adding some steel to the midfield... Especially if the other options are a temperamental Frenchman and an unfit youngster.

I'd have Macca on the wing rather than Grant, Maybe it will line up this way instead

Yeah i do hope Macca is on the wing rather then Grant.

Very solid player and we need him in CM and not out on the right hand side.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Christophe on the wing? Jaysus... Are we thinking about the same player?

 

[Kristof]

I'd have started with O'Keefe personally, thought he had a good half hour Tuesday after replacing the unfortunate Scannell.

 

[SUFCStu]

Come on you yellows

:support:

 

[Ayrshire Blue]
