Question Cav Miley - when fit would you start him straight away?

[leeblue]

Does he walk back into the team?
I think we've missed that DM who breaks up play, the bigger dilemma is who to drop. The three on Saturday were good.

Husin plays so well in that position too. Keeps us flowing better and is more at ease than Morton there but I think he still gets back in for Kev IMO. I think he’s not been fit since that last injury and a fully firing Cav is a Rolls-Royce and exceptional player that we haven’t seen for a bit. We have a really strong midfield and good balance when all fit I feel now. KAF and Moncur have really made us strong there.

 

[palexander]

No certainly doesnt go straight back in. KAF has earned the shirt from Saturdays game (and he needs to do same again tonight).

Assuming he does, who do you leave out from KAF, Moncur, Husin and then add in Morton who's shown in a few games he's more than capable.

Bench for me until we need to make a change.

 

[Hadleigh-shrimper]

No chance, Morton was great holding but even he doesn’t get in atm

 

[bluesfansince1952]

Is Cav fit to return yet? Until he is there is no real point in discussing this.

By the time Cav is ready to play it might be there are others who will be unavailable either through injury or suspension.

It is always one game at a time but especially so when your squad is small in numbers as ours is right now.

The last time Cav was out for weeks with his "Deadleg" Husin had also filled the role very well, imo, cav came back and struggled for his usual game for at least 5 games before getting up to match fitness, obviously kev had no choice back then!
So he should come back via the subs bench especially now with the extra subs being allowed.

 

[bazzashrimper]

Yes. We are shipping too many goals

 

[Strykr]

he shouldn't just get straight back in, but I expect Kev will put him in and shoehorn the rest around him.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

He will probably be eased back in as a sub when he's ready. Going by Saturday's performance, he shouldn't walk straight back into the starting line up. He will have to wait for an injury, loss of form, or rotation with the other midfielders.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Best midfielder we have had in years imho. An absolute nailed on starter for me when fit.

If in doubt just think back to how he injured his back - we have no other midfielders who would have worked that hard.

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

What a great conundrum to finally have though.

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

Or we can go back to the philosophy that the best form of defence is more defenders. Let's play kaf, Morton and Miley.

 

[Jai]

Miley is one of the best players in the National League. It is absolutely no coincidence that we've had a rock solid defence since he came in.

Personally for me, if he's fit he starts. We've really missed him and you can see that from the goals against column. I think you look at others to drop out to accommodate KAF, nice issue to have.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

How many yellows had Cav collected befor his injury lay off? My recolletcion was he had at least 3?

 

[rigsby]

Can is a way off yet and unless its a real emergency then no player starts after a decent length of time out. Kev will do his 65mins sub with Cav. Will be the same for Walker and Coker.

That aside as soon as he is fit he will start because he one of the best in the NL at his job. Plus "Never change winning team" is now 30 years out of date. As we proved from Eastleigh to Sutton, your next result is never certain in this league.

And this is the crux, if he's fit. Well, let's give him time and opportunity to achieve those magic words, without pressing him before he's ready, We now have options available for this to happen.

 

[GNH]

If JG has got his hands on him I don't expect him to be 'walking' anywhere............

When he is ready to return it should depend on the current starting XI. If we are coming off the back of a victory and good performance then bench, if we need to freshen things up after a poor display then make the change.

A nice problem to have.

This is it.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

I could, as always be wrong, but I think he had 4. I was keeping count as he was my most yellow cards in the season punt.

Nice decision to have, but as @bluesfansince1952 said, by the time he is fit again injuries or suspensions might influence that decision.

For a change with our squad over recent years, there is/will be a decision to be made, which hasn't always been the case in recent seasons. Also form and the opponents we are due to face could be an influencing factor too.

 

[rlb999]

He shouldn't get in, but he will.
How long is he out for?
