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

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think it’s less a question of whether he comes straight back into the side and more whether he’s still the midfielder you build around.

Who is now Maher’s spine now that Kensdale and Cardwell have gone? Do you still build around Cav or do you fit him around someone else?

I expect a lot will depend on how we go between now and then. Win the next 6 and it’s likely a very different answer to if we lose the next 6.

For me Cav/KAF/Moncs has a good balance as a three and might be the eventual way forward - but would have to see them together first.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

What a great conundrum to finally have though.

@It'sGrimUpNorth What a 'Countdown Conundrum' - CLIVE MAY

there's a saying that a midfield 3 needs to be a passer, a runner, and a tackler. Cav, KAF, Moncur has that balance so sounds good on paper.

The question should be are the current midfielders doing enough to keep him out.

 

[JIMSDAD]

Absolute no brainer. I’d have him back in if was inside an iron lung. Forgetting the number of cards he picks up, we don’t have anybody else who intercepts an opposition pass or puts in a ball stealing tackle like Cav does. Pure Rolls Royce player who I don’t think we can do without and is probably irreplaceable in our budget range. Come on Cav! We need you back double quick.

Noor been weakest link lately?

 

[cerbera45]

Ease him back in gently imho, fortunately we have plenty of centre-midfielders.

 

[RHB]

Noor been weakest link lately?

Without going too far off topic, Noor is a total enigma to me. Sometimes he looks lazy or disinterested, and other times he produces pieces of skill which leaves me wide eyed in wonderment. And then he goes and has a non stop performance where he controls his part of the middle completely. Just when I think he's had a stinker of a game, the next time he is a delight to watch.

 

[Barry.C]

Bit depressing especially for Cav as Kev has just stated, hes still in the process of seeing a specialist about his back. That can go a number of ways and I expect there are quite a few of us on here who have experienced " Backs ", suddenly or otherwise , and know how painful it can be and how long it can take

For his sake I hope its not a severe matter ,or more permanent issue discovered that cant be rectified or treated
Wouldnt hesitate to have him back in asap

 

[rlb999]

I'd hoped that Cav being out injured would force the side to progress and free us up a little in the middle of the park.
Sadly not - if he was fit he'd be straight back in there, as we've not been able to progress.

He's either a 9 out of ten or a 5.....when he's on song we win.

He's never a 5!

 

[leeblue]

He's never a 5!

5.5

 

[rigsby]

We are talking football, not looks.

 

[dusterman]

We expecting Cav to be out a few months as this diagnosis thing has gone on a good while?

 

[loz]

if we're going to persist with Bonne and Moncur, then i think there's a better case for getting Cav straight back. with their relative lack of pressing our opponents are finding it easier to build and Cav's ability to close down passing lanes and tackle will help compensate for that. He would also help support a less experienced backline.

Bad news for Morton though if that's the case as the two don't seem to play together well and i think KAF brings something different.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Get him back in asap. Morton ain't it.

 

[Yer Blues]

He's never a 5!

You are right. He's been about a 4 most games this season.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Noor never does enough for me.

He has loads of skill and ability to beat a man and also has a fantastic technique when shooting.

He often drifts about and doesn't drive at defenders, doesn't get assists or even have shots at goal. A player of his ability should be able to easily score 10 goals in this league.

He rarely looks like scoring.
