centre midfield

[NorthamptonBee]

now you are talking --- happy days!

I thought we had far too many good midfielders in those days and not enough keepers.

All capable of scoring goals! Probably the best midfield we ever had?

although Hunt/Sidwell/Evans/Judaskaarnt was pretty good too

 

[imprimerie]

Now then what about George Thomson a real blast from the past!!!!!

 

[Bolivian Rovers]

I think I would prefer Hurlock, Bowles, Kamara & Roberts

In this day of overated footballers, thank god I saw that four play, our current midfield would never be good enough to tie their laces, they had it all, goals, aggression, sublime skill & passion, our current lot have nothing.

Will never happen and now probably to late to risk trying it out however Saunders has the range of passes required, is comfortable with both feet, has an impressive free kick and shot and the intelligence to play the necessary passes to our forwards on the ground. Unfortunately this style of play does not fulfill the Andy Scott criteria for midfield.

I said it before and after yesterday perhaps we will see Sam have more opportunities to show what a 2 footed player with some guile and ability can contribute to the team.

Playing 3 central midfield players might be one way of cutting out all of our aimless hoof ball. And with players to pass to, Saunders will thrive as he is not an out and out winger.

Scotty has changed the tactics, hopefully this is the start of a new more exciting style.

It seems to be a bit like the 4-3-1-2 that Hull used for a while in the Premier League, with Saunders in the role Geovanni played.

Have you seen AS interview on the OS ? I'd like him to start with last Sats formation and tactics and leave Weston on the bench to come on against a tired defence.

Its not at all, Sam played wide last 2 games, he is not and never will be a CM imo

He hasn't changed tactics , thats the only realistic midfield we could play.
We haven't played that much long ball away from home .

Often wondered how we didn't get anywhere near promotion from div 3 with that midfield.Maybe too much off the field fun and frolics?

Too many training sessions in the Griffin and no comparable fit strike force...

There is an assumption that AS wouldn't like to see a creative ball winning CM...It could be he'd love one....I just don't think you get many at our level that we can afford.

 

[Bigbee]

But it seemed to bring out a style of play that was more appealing to the eye ?

Ok, he saves that for home games its seems

Must have missed him...was he on loan

Good idea !
