Fifespud Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thoughts on this line-up............. Bain Hately Gomis O'Dea Holt Kerr O'Hara McGowan El Bak Yordi Loy Weird - it's only showing 9 names on my phone but when I quote you Yordi and Loy are there. I'd drop Loy and put in Ross. Hateley at full back and Kerr out wide. Hateley more experienced and Kerr more exuberant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Maybe Low is worth a game. He puts in a good shift and has a bit of 'dig'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 What's their reasoning? That they spent 200k on a player that needs numerous chances, isn't the fastest, isn't the strongest and possesses no stand out features. They've admitted though that he's been judged at a different standard since they forked out what they see as a huge amount of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The sad thing is if Hemmimgs flops again down south and he comes back up here, it will likely not be to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieDee Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Bain Kerr Gomis O'Dea Julen Holt McGowan Hateley (Low 60mins) El Bak O'Hara Yordi Got to go 5 at back - Holt's lack of pace will be totally exposed otherwise. Bit more height and fight in this line up. No Ross or Loy at any stage, thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt last season everything went right for Hemmings and it was unlikely he'd maintain that goal scoring form. That said he's scored 3 for Oxford and he hasn't started every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following their chat as well since Johnson ended up there as well (for considerably more too) and while they were very excited they seem to slowly be realising that they've paid (relatively) a lot of money for a player who might not be the superstar they were expecting. At least Hemmings has scored a few goals for them. Are they not sat 19th in the league having spent £1m+ on players in the summer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that league a step up from spl then cause always thought Hemmings was a bit of a tank in our league and with decent pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Is that league a step up from spl then cause always thought Hemmings was a bit of a tank in our league and with decent pace. I've always noticed a massive size difference in players when we play a pre season friendly against lower league English sides. That being said, some players just fit. He had a telepathic link up with Greg Stewart which he no longer has. When you think about Hemmings, his best ability was his prowess. We've had strikers that were faster than him (Griffiths), we've had Strikers stronger than him (Nade) and we've had Strikers that had a better strike (Curier) but Hemmings had all of these abilities and was a more complete player - so feed him and he'd score. Some people just don't fit in at certain clubs. When you see utter duds like Lucas Akins lighting up the English lower leagues then you realise it's just luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an-dee Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Remember Hemmings had a slow start with us too before he started scoring for fun. Think he'll come good for them, he's too good not to I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hope it comes good for Kane-o, he loved to pop a goal in against the DAB's with a few GIRFUY's afterwards. I'll always be grateful for that. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieDee Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thought there were enough good signs today. El Bak playing off Yordi looks likely to come good as a combo. Hopefully Kerr's performance will convince any lingering doubters that he is our nail on right back - not the finished article but getting better every week. Bain coming for crosses again was a real bonus too, if he's going to progress he needs to do that a lot more. Williams (I'm not a fan of) really helped with adding dig and pace in front of Holt (like him but can't cope with pace). And most of all - no Ross or Loy in the starting line up. Tough games coming up but Hartley looks to be picking a line up to suit our strengths at last 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
