markjazzbassist Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Would be nice to get 3 wins in a row and another clean sheet to make a run for Europe. Pulis side isn't as stone cold on defense as he had stoke and I imagine the lack of funds available is the cause of it. Martinez will have to face his kryptonite and us learn how to play through a parked bus. Robles Coleman Jags Mori Oviedo McCarthy Barry Lennon Barkley Cleverley Lukaku Would like to see the new boy make an appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Agree with the side Mark. No need to change at this point. Up the Toffees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm trying not to get too excited, but this is defiantly a game we can win. 3-0 again anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Stick with the same team. No need to change unless injuries kick in. We should be able to roll these over. Very poor team. Yeah, I fancy a 3-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblue23 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Would like to see Baines back in and a DCM rotated out, especially if Besic is back healthy. Not to beat a dead horse, but if you have squad depth, use it. Not like Besic and Baines weren't in good form before injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was like January, with games coming thick and fast, then yeah, change/rotate. But when it's one game a week, it doesn't do much to swap and change when the starting 11 are doing well.

Hafnia Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Oviedo deserves his spot as do all the other players. I would love to see gerry and mirallas play but only because they have earned their place. Good competition for places. That also means a Howard has to wait also.

chalkpie Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 If Howard comes straight back in after this then Martinez really has lost the plot I would wager a huge sum that he will come back - just like that.

Shukes Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I will wait and see how the team performs. If he brings Tim back and he has three clean sheets in a row, then fair enough. If he brings him back and we self destruct again then I think it may be time to face the firing squad. Admittedly I haven't been sold on Robles...but we are getting clean sheets and that I can't argue with. For a manager to change a winning team, that would be either brave or stupid. Thinking stupid here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking stupid here. I'm not entirely sure anyone is convinced Joel is our next long term keeper, because he hasn't had a blinder nor a shocker. He's been solid and dealt with what's been thrown at him. You can only save the shots that are fired at you. The farce for me is that Howard is consistently underperforming. Not only does Robles deserve to be given a chance by means of Howards poor form, but he hasn't done anything to suggest he should lose it when he has been given a chance! If he has a few howlers then by all means I can live with Howard being picked but Robles playing is what's best for the team, however way you want to spin it!

gethinO Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just read that both Howard and Stones are likely to be back in contention for this one. I'll lose a lot of respect for Martinez if he puts any of them back in when we've had 3 wins in a row and 3 clean sheets. Changing that would be madness.

"contention" - absolutely no chance should they be getting a start, it shouldn't even be up for consideration.

Elston Gunnn Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 They can be available - thats fine.... "contention" Yes, this makes sense to me. Maybe Howard on bench for WBrom, but keep Stones out, not even on bench -- in contention but not quite "match fit," so no reason to take any chance -- until FA cup at Bournemouth following weekend.

Guest rusty747 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 If it ain't broke, don't fix it! We are on a roll, have some momentum, know how to keep a clean sheet and look good. Why on earth would you change that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Really looking forward to this one, if everything clicks we could score a hatful. Edit - 1-0 loss coming up then. Edited February 10, 2016 by Deacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 As long as the players are maintaining the current level of performance it would be crazy to change the side. What I don't want to see though is this 11 run into the ground. Martinez needs to recognize when changes need to be made and then be decisive.

I've been hopeful from the beginning, and he has a blinder (Wham in the cup) but also some howlers too. He's only 25 though so plenty of time to develop Edited February 10, 2016 by Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm hoping to catch some of WBrom's FA Cup replay at Peterborough tonight. I assume Pulis will put a strong team on the pitch, though they have quite a few injuries. He's said Berahino will play. Baggies not playing well in recent weeks. May that continue today and Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
