I'm aware mate.

But I just find it odd that he would play both stones and jags against Barnsley when we've just played a coulple of days ago and we play again at the weekend.

Got no one else tbh...

Need continuity within that position though.
It may well be a reminder to the board that we lack two centre halves so please dont sell another!

 

[DanB90]

We have no other options, hence we should not consider selling him.

I did also state that was probably the case in my previous post.

Such a shame. Feck you Kenwright for not matching this lads ambition

What did Martinez say in his pre match interview?

 

[Furey1878]

Think the team's spot on tonight.

Hope Deulofeu gets a fair run out.

Not a great deal to be honest.

 

[bunky]

Exactly, he's starting because he has to. We are so short in that position. It's the same reason why his request has been/will be refused at this time.

He defo needs it.

Groucho.....maybe him starting the game is all the statement we need to make.

What say you, @BlockHead?

Methinks that our lack of cover at CB may mean he has to be played.
Also, irrespective of the situation, surely he wants to play against his hometown club ?
And regardless of whatever any of us may think, one has to hope he plays well and doesn't nause up and cost us the tie.

 

[ijjysmith]

Interesting to see Pennington. Don't know much or anything about him really.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Not a great deal to be honest.

A nice change then.

 

[Scolari]

Given the value to Barnsley of a potential stones transfer, do you think we will see many full blooded challenges on him tonight?

 

[Groucho]

I scoffed earlier at a suggestion not to boo him. Can't remember who but now I'm beginning to think they're right - we don't even know if the transfer request story was true.

We only know hearsay so until we know all the facts, we probably should show the lad that we'd like him to stay.

 

[ijjysmith]

If people boo him they are stupid.
