Long shot but if we had a couple of more withdrawals there may be a call up for Rochdale's Eoghan O'Connell

He's barely ever fit. You wouldn't be able to build a defense around him.

Look we have players who can slot into the centre backs , now if we lost one of our strikers we would be in trouble

How about Doherty at CB? He looked very assured when he played there for us recently.
Regardless, i'm confident that Kevin Long can do a job if called upon It's Duffy I'd be worried about Edited by johnvonp - 16 Feb 2021 at 10:43am |

Kenny doesn't ever really adapt his system though, he expects his players to adapt to it. I don't think we'll see any sense of pragmatism to take account of Duffy, if he is indeed selected. Duffy will be expected to do things he is unable to do competently and his strengths will be nullified by Kenny's style of play. Which is why I think he should take the chance and play Clark and O'Shea. Both very comfortable on the ball and o'shea is going to have to be thrown in at some stage, might as well bite the bullet and do it now if Egan is out. He'll be criticised less if he plays O'Shea and we lose than if we play Duffy and we lose. He can at least hang an o'shea selection on development of the team.

Just what is Kenny's 'system'? I find myself still at a loss.
And are we really so good that we can afford to choose a 'system' before finding the players to play within it? I'm not sure even Hand and Charlton had that luxury when we had the best group of players available to us of all time...

System is the wrong word. Ethos would be closer. A system is something that develops over time as an amalgamation of the players and ethos you have. Saying you want to have a possession based team is not a system. It's a broad stroke of a description. i.e. we want to inflict our game on the opposition. We want to be proactive to opportunity rather than reactive to mistakes in the opposition. We want to be in control of our own destiny... and when done well... Playing a direct/long game for better or worse is playing the percentages. There's a throw of the dice about it...but equally, when done well... (Which Charlton did. He knew exactly how to play direct football and how to press) Even after Kenny's first match you knew his ethos, but he'll have to be given at least these qualifiers to establish his system. By the time his last qualifying match finishes everyone will know whether we're on the right track or whether Kenny has to go.

Kinda pleased that it's just a dislocated toe rather that anything ligament related to be honest. He'll make a full recovery from the toe at least.
