Au Revoir M'Voto

[south247]

So M'Voto goes under the knife for a hip injury and will be out until January. Of course his loan finishes in January! So I guess he goes back to Sunderland.

Freedman and Scannell back in training aswell, so maybe, just maybe we'll get a team out for Saturday.

 

[palexander]

Ouch! :(

From what I've seen of him though, looks like he has a promising career ahead at at least CCC level I'd say.

 

[Crawliano]

Call me a madman, but couldn't Dougie slip in behind Laurent and Walker and play a 4-3-1-2 formation with Scannell and Moussa coming in a little and Freedman feeding through for the two front men?

Bit adventurous but could pay off.

I've suggested this before but usually get shouted down when someone, often quite accurately, points out that Tilson's experiements with 3 / 5 in midfield end in spectacular failure.

That would leave our back line very exposed, and that's not altogether comforting given it's relative fragility.

But Dougie is such a good weighted passer of the ball that this spot would make sense to me. Even if Laurent dropped to the wing and we staggered him and Barney up front.

How long before Dougie and Scannel are injured again though. give it 3 games tops.

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

Forever the optimist Clinton :P

We'll be able to bring in players soon hopefully anyway, the transfer embargo lifted, and It'll be playoffs!

:cool:

 

[GBJ]

Oh no! Not Freedman!!! :)

 

[shaneyshrimper]

I think last weeks game against the Gills showed that Freedman is not what we need up front from the start of the game. Get some pace in there with Walker and then Dougie should be a last 20 minutes kind of sub. Walkers was mental, he deserves his chance

The few games he's played he's been excellent for us though (Brighton aside, although he was injured and shouldn't have played). I'd wager Tilly will go back in for him in January on loan til the end of the season. He seemed to like it here too with the "French Connection."

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Oh no! Not Freedman!!! :)

Better than Calver, though, isn't he? At least this way we can pick a front line that does actually have league experience...

So, we're looking like:

.....................Mildenhall..................

Francis.......Barrett......Grant.......Herd

Laurent......JFC.........Moussa.....O'Keefe

.............Walker.........Freedman.........

Bench: Joyce, Scannell, Asante, Whittaker, Okai, Calver

Crikey. Have we ever fielded a less-experienced bench in our club's history?

My thoughts entirely. Cut short his loan spell now, then bring him back in January.

Yes, in our last game where we didn't have Scannell on the bench.

TBH it was said tongue-in-cheek :)

 

[southend4ever]

That must be him gone. Shame. He looked decent. Lets wish him well. That said if we are short for players I am sure he would still make the bench.

 

[Shrimper]

That' terrible news, he was very good and will easily be a CCC defender in the coming years, wish him all the best in the future should it involve us or not. Although, one good thing about M'Voto going is that it free's up wages that we could possibly use to get Dorian Dervite back. Tottenham said that they'd allow him to join but only when he signs a new contract with Hotspur.

Which wont happen because he wants out at Spurs.

 

[Shrimper]

Which would bugger up our chances of getting him i guess, unless he has some insane fetish for us i'd take a punt on him joining a CCC team.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Spurs wont loan him out anywhere unless he signs a new contract with them, So he wont be going to us or anyone else.

Is a bench only 'fielded' if all the players actually enter the field of play?

Just a thought.
