Will Anderson Olowu accept their contract offers will we extend Faulkner contract incase we get an offer or keep him longer. We could lose 4 CHs in the summer aswell as RSW. As for the Sutton game I hope Anderson is fit to return. If not fit we can’t extend Faulkners loan as we will need him.
Ravenrover, we will need them both Anderson is out now, and will always need his fitness managing from now on and over a long period has Struggled to put a long run of games together. Rowe is in much the same state, and can miss games between now and the end of the season, and is it his best position to contribute to the team? and the other question is he better there than a recognised central defender? We are just a couple of injuries away from being short in a vital position, and it wants covering, if Anderson is fit I would play him for his experience, Olowu the big question is will he move on next season, Nelson gives us balance and as you have noticed is easy on the eye with the ball, very much in the u23s vein of play and needs to learn the other side of the game quickly because he is going to come up against it probably this weekend and the one after. My back three would be Olowu Anderson Nelson, and move Olowu central and Faulkner right if Anderson is not fit. The big question really is who of them will be here next season, Leicester will want Nelson to ideally play higher, Faulkner has a number of bigger clubs monitoring his progress and could step in for our usual cheap sale, and now Olowu is fit after being out the majority of his contract he may look to kick on and will have his suiters if he plays regularly like he did last night to the end of the season, and its to be hoped for Anderson's sake he gets back to being fitter and can continue his career.
With only 4 draws in the season so far and the last being on Oct15th then a draw would be a novelty. We need to score 2 goals as we did at Swindon then we could get another win butt it’s going to be difficult.
Sutton have won 5 of their last 6 home games, drawing the other. Top of the Home Form table. Considering how Barrow made us look "ordinary" I think we're in for a tough game. A draw would be a good result for us.
Raven, I agree with Rugby on Nelson's distribution especially in the first half last night especially in the first half hour, he plays a nice ball square or backwards but his passing forward was terrible and set them through twice when intercepted if they had capitalised better, and like the Hartlepool game in the first 30 minutes the right winger got past him with ease. In fact I would like to see him play in the hurly burly of the games at Spennymoor as like a lot of u23s at that level and intensity its sink or swim, it's a much faster more physical game than division 2 and a lot are found wanting coming through the academy system, but soon learn. What he does do he gives us balance on the left hand side and has a much improved Maxwell alongside him.
First visit for me. Best be a decent performance as I’m on nights until 05:00 on Saturday morning then on the coach for this one.
