Soares in for Sawyer, i do worry about Sturrock at times, wrong keeper and definately wrong the other useless bloke!

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Sawyer has to be injured for Soares to be playing

Or it could be to get Grant back into the middle, he's been pretty inaffective out wide.

 

[Cricko]

Why does he keep playing Soares, I have seen more life at Madame Tussards than in him.

 

[bazzashrimper]

I'd play sawyer, but sturrock has certainly proved me wrong several times this season, lets see how we do before worrying too much about Sturrock

 

[Maidstone Shrimper]

The only thing I can think of is both Grant and Sawyer seem to struggle to last past 70mins or so. If other substitutions have to be made for injuries then it puts the team under a lot of pressure at the end. Having said that, Soares struggles, full stop.

3 0 Morecambe, as we are playing with 10 men!

 

[Maroon Blue]

Sturrock obviously worried about our shape and without Ferdinand holding, especially away from home, gone for the safe boring option. Team for 1 point not 3, shame!

Fair enough, I'm not saying I wouldn't start with Sawyer ahead of Soares - I am with the rest of you with my reviews of Soares. But Im sure PS has his reasons. Fingers crossed your prediction is wrong.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Subs: Morris, Comminges, Asante, Crawford, Sawyer, Prosser, Woodyard.

If 5000 home supporters were polled who they favour to start it would be 4999 Sawyer 1 to Soares <his mum>, and our manager sides with his mum, very worrying!

 

[GBJ]

Soares is ****ing useless.

I even doubt that!

 

[Smiffy]

Dont understand that decision. Even Sawyer out of position on the right is surely a better option? What does Soares offer over Sawyer? I'm struggling. Anyway, let's back the lad and see what he can magic up...

 

[chapperzUK]

Maybe we had to disguise a loanee as Soares due to the embargo .....

Sawyer's been out of the game for a while and when he was playing he was non league. Maybe he's short of full match fitness.
