So Osborne, McAlister and Clements all injured, it's lucky we have so many midfielders!


With Clifton injured too we're down to our last four who can play there, bare bones.....

Crucial element ligament?

Do you mean anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)?

Hope not. If so, he'll be out for 6 - 9 months - ie, out for the season.
Surely the GT would have reported that?


Yes cruciate, which is of course crucial

I was about to say something similar about yussuf. It's only preseason I know, but he seems to be stronger and faster than last season and has looked a real handful. I know we've been after a walker or Maynard but it seems to me that yussuf fits that mould already and deserves a chance.

Just kidding mate.... i like Yussuf, he looks like he's bulked up in the summer and looks strong and fast but not convinced he's a 15 - 20 goal a season man.

Not sure that he needs to be if he puts himself about and gets the midfield involved as well.  I can see some midfielders getting 5 or 6 goals each from his style of play.  Add into that penalties and free kicks around the box he could end up with 20 to 30 assists instead.

Quoted from Maringer
I think (and perhaps hope) that the 4-1-4-1 formation is probably one we'll see mostly in away games. Trying it out against higher division opposition who are likely to have more possession is probably a reasonable way to see how it is likely to work.
  


A sensible, and good point. We were absolutely trounced away from home on more than one occasion last season and I'd like to think that won't happen under RS.

If we can hold shape, be tight and organised against Blackburn then I'm sure we can against the likes of Chesterfield or anyone else in our league.

We've got big lads who are a threat in the air from set pieces. And we've got exciting players with a burst of pace, so we can hit teams on the break, without having to play a conventional two up top away from home. If this means Sam Jones running in from midfield, or wide (like he did to great effect for Gateshead), then so be it.

For the first time in years, it was our away form last season which was not up to scratch and RS stated that needed to be changed straight away. Equally, I think we've got enough exciting, creative players to really take it to teams at home, too.

What about Sam Jones as well? 7 goals in 16 starts last season is pretty impressive!

I thought Jones has looked a bit half-arsed in most of the two pre-season games I've seen against Barnsley and Blackburn. I think perhaps he's not the sort of player who will bust a gut in a friendly but hopefully we'll see more of him once the season starts. Have to say, I'm not convinced that we should be playing him in a wide position as last night, however.

We know he's got goals in him so I'd like to see him playing more centrally than this.
