So who plays in midfield instead of Mahon?

[paulw]

legs in for mahon only change

[SeanInOz]

Would have to go for this Midfield.

Buz Legs Faurlin Routledge

[Nodge70]

Oh OK, so it makes sense to play the two players who have devastated the last 4 teams we've played out of position then.

Buz, Taarabt and Routledge are pretty interchangeable. Gives us more flexibility on the pitch throughout the game and Legs protects the back 4. Simple game this innit?

[Nodge70]

amazed we've beat teams heavily and played best football for years with the current formation and people want to change it to accommodate vine?!

sorry but if mahon is out leg comes in central. don't put defensive burdens on buz.. let him carry on out wide. vine can sit on the bench

^^^^^^^^

What he said.

[westsussexranger]

thats a good question

just been looking at the squad we dont have much depth in the cm role

as rowly mahon and watson are unavailable it looks like legs should play
the only other option after that is alberti :waaaht:

[oldhoop]

I'm a bit confused cos all I keep seeing on here is that we have got too many MF players. It seems that we don't then!!!!!!:bad_smile::bad_smile:

They are either injured (Cook, Mahon, Ephraim Rowlands) or suspended (Watson). It's too many if they are all fit and available for selection - but the moaning in the close season about bulking up the midfield now seems a bit trite

[oldhoop]

Another reason to big up JM & JG then

Agreed - I also forgot Balanta

[NW9_RANGER]

Who would have thought a year ago that we would be concerned about who to play if Gavin Mahon was missing through injury ?

Hahahaha so true!

[Tarbie]

If Mahon is out we need to pay Legs in the midfield. Akos and Faurlin in the middle would be too lightweight defensively!!

[hhrangers]

legs in the middle, cant hav everyone in the midfield to be attacking players otherwise i see us getting caught out. saying that buzsaky and faurlin would pass the sh*t out of leicester

[m_cooper]

leggs,no contest,we may be great going forward but we still need protection at the back,and leggs is always likely to thunder 1 in from 25-30yds
