I have been disappointed not to see Carruthers feature for us this season. He looked bright the tail end of last season. Had also hoped as Mazrim says that Johnson would have also been in contention by now a bit.

N'Zog is critical to our survival and we've got to get as much out of him as possible.

Yep late, very late, is the hour but we need 8 huges games out of him. Let's hope he realises it.

It would be nice for Johnson to get out on loan again at some point. Hopefully he can break into the first team in the next couple of years if he continues developing. Seems to have a good set piece on him as well.

He's done well in the attacking midfield role over the last few weeks, but I think he would be better used in the wide right position.  He cuts in well from that side and won a penalty and very nearly scored from that position today.  We have other options who can play that attacking midfield role.

Not sure - think he is better in the freer role as per Wigan. As for AMF please share and not include the words Bannan or Ireland

Hopefully going by today's performance Dawkins will give us more wide options when Gabby's not fit.

Someone on here sat by Martinez during a game last season, and said he could not believe that we had bought Zog having scouted him and then thought he was a winger, he is a free role cause trouble player.

This was then backed up when I met a Wigwam season ticket holder, who thought Zog was way better than Moses, and if played totally free in front of the midfield will cause enough havoc to score or create 3-4 great chances per match.

[PaulWinch again]

N'Zog is never a winger and needs that free role.

 This player seemed really lacking and pretty ponderous. Felt sorrie for him from where i was sitting looked terrified to touch ball and movement lacking. I hope he will improve but defo not up to mark at this moment. He looked quick in a previous matches but looked  slow and dawkins from start -if he was taller'- would have been better starting

See this is the interesting thing to me.  I don't mind that he wasnt particularly good yesterday (because he is a target man type striker being asked to play as a right midfielder) but in other matches he seemed to have a fair amount of pace on him, which was lacking on sunday.  Dunno if it was a problem with his ball control, but he seemed to knock the ball on and then not have the pace to get to it.

Still think its waaaay to early to tell if the lad will be Good Enough.  Even if he isnt, we'll still get more than we paid for him.

[Concrete John]

So far I've not seen anything from him to suggest he's a Premiership star in the making, but then I've not seen anything to get really pissed off at either.

I guess we can file him under 'wait and see' and let what happens happen.

True, but I don't think he should be starting matches.

Bowery is basically a back up target man and playing him totally out of position yesterday did nobody any favours , dawkins can play the wide attacking midfield role and i cant see why bowery was played out of position.

As some people have already said, he was probably a starter because he is quite tall and fairly strong and would be more useful than someone like Dawkins when it came to defending against a team who are strong at set-pieces.  I'd be suprised if he starts in that position again outside of games against the Stokes/West Hams of the league.

In fact this is one of the few games of the season where I think Lambert got the tactics/squad selection bang on.

[LeeB]

Right now we need mature, proven quality. That's Bent. Not Bowery. It's up to Lambert to find a system that accommodates the former.

No, we need results and players playing on merit.
