Husband's passing was woeful today. He needs a rest.
If we had a left sided centre half then he'd get a rest. It'll be his hamstrings in winter that decides that as he usually succumbs to the workload around this time of year, for three months.
Agree about Husband, if anyone could do with a rest it's him. Dom scares me though, he tends to do daft things at least once per game but maybe he's unlucky because it always seems to cost us.
He's right footed as well when I've seen him play. Sky have shown a few of their games because Lowe seems to be their media darling.
Critchley wants a left footer in the back three to push on in support of the wonky wing back and he's the only option for it. We were linked with Elkan Baggott from Ipswich in the last window but it didn't happen.
Responding to this and a few other posts above. Couldn't put it better myself re Potts. What a **. Not sure Husband has the ball skills or ability to beat a man but he's a strong left back. Casey should be playing at centre half, full stop. I really don't think Lyons played well today. He tried his heart out but he was at a constant disadvantage needing to find his better right foot. We created almost nothing down the left wing, maybe partly because it is uncovered territory for Dembele. who does his best stuff in that 10 and a bit position just on the right behind the front two. He is a rare Critchley tactical success - though I think that is more down to his outrageous talents than anything developed on the training ground. I'll give Critchley this, the fact that his game is now more rounded and he chases back as well as dazzling us with his attacking play.
Costing them a lot of money I understand
I like him . But yesterday he had a really poor game , he was ok defensively, but going forward he got nowhere .
In a large part down to him being on his weaker side and also up against a decent opponent.
Utter rubbish.
Agreed. He cost us the Northampton and Bolton game with woeful passes. Dropping him will do more good than harm.
I thought Lyons was unable to do so because Thomas roasted him for pace a couple of times early on so he spent much of the game dropping off him, scared he'd get in behind. I'd definitely have swapped him for Gabriel second half, looked obvious that he was much better suited in the circumstances.
Costing us nearly every game!!! One mistake against Northampton, can't remember anything specific against Cambridge. He's set very high standards this season, and it's a reasonable argument that he gone off the boil a bit, but to call him a liability is ridiculous. Made several interceptions and last gasp challenges yesterday and defensively pretty solid, apart from one bad back pass. He's been very good going forward this season, but yesterday he set dembele away a couple of times. With having a very right footer on the overlap it limits his options, as he gets forward, makes his forward play a bit more predictable and hence it seems hes having a bad game.
More slagging off Critch as per usual
Dom played really well against FGR, but was not tested defensively. In some matches where he can play predominantly as a winger he is useful
That Thomas for me was the best player on the pitch in the first half both going forward and defending. Looked a quality player. Lyons go no change out of him whole game. Second half was of course all about Dembele. Enjoyed the game yesterday, both teams looked really positive. We won it because we were more clinical up front.
No he didn't, Luke Thomas of Bristol Rovers had him in his pocket all the match until the latter stages when their manager switched him to the left!
Husband is about as much a wing back as my big toe.
