The could be said for Sakamoto tbf, he does tend to struggle against teams that put 10 men behind the ball. Sakamoto’s lack of a right foot hinders him because he always needs to get onto his left foot before shooting or crossing, generally speaking. Now compare that to Rudoni who has several assists from right footed crosses down the wing.

Personally, I want to see a 4-2-3-1 with EMC RW or a 4-4-2 with Rudoni there.

Sakamoto has a decent right foot, go look at the quality of the cross he put in for Rudoni to score against Oxford

Why isn't he using it then? Was that cross just a fluke and he never does it in training therefore the coaches tell him not to? There has to be a reason as he is so predictable cutting inside.

Great assist. How often does he put balls of that quality with his right foot in the 66 games he’s played for us?

It’s not an unfair characterisation to say he’s the most one footed player in our starting lineup (forwards; Wright, EMC and Rudoni).

What?! If anything he's the least one footed. Rudoni is all left foot.

Must have used some technique to cross with his invisible right foot for the goal last night then

 

[rob9872]

I mean it would be delicious to win there to seal play offs and their relegation

Beat Hull - relegat KP
Beat Plymouth - relegate them for appointing Rooney
Beat Luton relegate them for play-off revenge
Fail to beat any of those and hopefully Robins takes Stoke down

Beat Midldlesbro - again
Beat Sunderland - well just for shits n giggles really
Beat Sheff Utd at Wembley 'Callum O'Hare, it could've been you'

I can see an argument for trying Simms with Wright on the left for this one, and that's from someone who rates EMC and thinks he did ok last night.

Doesn’t have to be permanent, just think he’d be the right player for helping us with a low block

 

[Lamps]

Hull have only scored 40 goals in 41 games. Only Luton have scored less. But they are another side that are quite solid defensively and don't let many goals in.

1-0 win.

 

[Grendel]

Kp45 to score, assist or get booked. My money on the latter.

Or be injured - or on the beach

Would say EMC is the most one footed myself

I'd say it was Dion

I'm staying up in Nuneaton on Monday. Any suggestions on best pub in the town centre to watch the game???

Should be on in The Silk Mill

I think EMC would make a great CF! He wins the headers and He keeps the ball and is difficult to get the ball off him. Certainly stop the ball keep coming back whilst the midfield get up

Yeah, he's got that side of it down. Doubt he's got the movement, timing of runs etc. in his locker though. Feels like an emergency only kinda thing at this point.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I think the game may suit us better than last night.

I think Pompey would have been well happy with a point last night, where Hull will surely be going for the 3 points.

If it gives us the opportunity to counter attack, that could really play into our hands.

We never counter

 

[Johhny Blue]

I thought I was the only one thinking he had a good game on Wednesday.

 

[shepardo01]

It's away from home.
It's a weeknight.
0-2 from two shots on target.

 

[StrettoBoy]

I think EMC would make a great CF! He wins the headers and He keeps the ball and is difficult to get the ball off him. Certainly stop the ball keep coming back whilst the midfield get up

I think he could be a decent alternative to Simms in that role.

I don’t see FL trying it though unless he’s forced to by Simms being injured or suspended.

 

[Paxman II]

Well this is a tough one. Hull battling and finding results. Again one we should win. Think Simms in and Wright out wide again may be more fruitful. Not sure about Sheaf, he's not offensive enough.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

We shouldn't play a back 5 against any of the teams we've left to play. Our full backs are bombing on enough in a back 4

But Grimes has been playing so deep it's almost 5ATB. I think we're definitely using this to allow the full backs to get forward more.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

He does keep the ball against defenders really well. Could be useful if we wanted to change it up from trying to get it to the wings all the time, assuming he could lay the ball off to advancing midfielders (or a strike partner).

I think there's too many questions to be trying this out at the moment when you've got Simms and Wright also available, but I wouldn't mind hem trying it out pre-season.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

Make sure you listen to CWR tomorrow evening where the new CCFC merchandise and training tops will be announced.

What area of Nuneaton are you staying?

Town Centre - Black Swan in Hand or Silk Mill
Stockingford - The Piv (will have plenty of fans in there, I'd have thought)
Attleborough - Crows Nest

Aren't they all full of Leeds fans though?

Nuneaton Whites are a dieing breed thank god.

Apart from the assist the other night, and a cross we scored from v Luton at home

Yeah but apart from that, what have the Romans Rudonis ever done for us?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Apart from the assist the other night, and a cross we scored from v Luton at home

as pointed out previously

 

[Tommo1993]

Feel really uncomfortable about this game.

 

[Johhny Blue]

I expect them to park the bus.

Godspeed.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Is anyone after a ticket for this? My mate is no longer using his ticket so if anyone is in need… let me know!

 

[blunted]

Every player needs to win their individual battles. Bleedin' obvious but that's what it will come down to now.
