Question Freddy Eastwood

[Beefy]

Remember this guy? Scored a load of goals for us a few years back? Started the season in the best form of the last five years?

Any idea when he is due back? Could do with him now that Cauley is banned.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Apparently he is in training. No point in rushing it.

 

[Jam_Man]

Id be interested in seeing how he would fit into the side now that we are playing a different way to when he was playing.

Dont see him tracking back like Straker does.

Well, he certainly does a lot more than he used to. Even saw him jumping for a header that he was never going to win earlier in the season. Having said that, I am quite happy for him to wander around the pitch as he pleases if he then pops up in the last few minutes and gets the winning goal!

think eastwood will be used as a usefull sub to come on for last 20 mins as he could always sneak us a goal at anytime, easy him back in I say.

I thought he hung his boots up to geting into making cheesey films

Freddy has goals in him, ease him back into the squad and come a busy Xmas and new year, he will be needed.

Despite the love affair with Freddy that everyone seems to have, apart from me, is it any coincidence that we are having our best run of the season whilst he is injured?

Is it just a coincidence that we are having our best run of the season since I have been wearing blue pants and socks on match days?

No....and don't wash them, you could lose the magic.

 

[WightShrimper]

Must say, the wife gets embarrassed when the vicar pops round and I am sitting there listening to Blues player in just my pants and socks, but she was mortified last night at Fratton Park!

 

[WightShrimper]

And they wont need washing till they stick to the wall when thrown.

To be fair Wally, Freddy was very influential in our other successful run of games at the start of the campaign when we won our first three games, so I feel that your view is a tad harsh on Freddy.

He may not suit the current formation that we are playing but if we was paying a 4-4-2 then I would play him from the start. Also, if we are chasing a goal and an influence from the bench in this 4-5-1 (4-3-3 when attacking) formation, then what better player to introduce from our squad than him.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Think Freddy would be enjoying the service into the box in the last few games.Really need him back asap to give PB more options

There are too many factors at play to pin the form on any one player being in the team (eg Timlin) or out of the team like Freddy.

Our midfield didnt look half as good back when Freddy was fit than it does now and we had players still settling into the club.

Might as well ask whether we are a better team without Hurst as we wont the last two without him.

 

[Angell Delight]

Despite the love affair with Freddy that everyone seems to have, apart from me, is it any coincidence that we are having our best run of the season whilst he is injured?

In my opinion yes, I'd say that our recent upturn in form is (a) because having taken time to gel things are starting to click and (b) the presence of Timlin and Kiernan in the starting X1. Certainly not because Freddy is injured, he and Leonard were arguably our two best players up until his absence.

 

[Magnum PI]

Freddy started jogging again yesterday. From the horses mouth last night.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Had he parked the horse at Boots and Laces?

 

[buffalowolf]

How can anyone honestly say we are a better team without Freddy and be serious.Any team in this division would welcome a fit Freddy with open arms.As for 5-4-1- formation ,i have no doubts with his talent he would cause major headaches for any cb playing the lone striker .

Big mistake changing a winning formula, leave well alone for now I say. COYBB
