Dave Theobold

[Guest]

Saw Dave Theobold play for res's yesterday and thought he played quite well-- scored a good goal too!! Cant see why he shouldn't be given a go-- I mean, its not like we are really solid at the back right now, and I reckon he might just be part of the missing link to stiffen up the back 3 or4--whatever formation Jeff decides to play. Any thoughts?

i think we need a back 4, we need to stop conceding goals, Theobold could very well be a solution

Certain games could warrant four at the back and at the moment I feel, especially away from home, that 4 at the back is justifiable. We didn't have much in the way of a striking option a little while ago and we start every game with a point - just don't conceed.

 

However, if you give Theobold a run out in central defence he will need to link with "another" central defender. I think this could cause problems where he hasn't been given first team chances. The last thing we need at the moment is two central defenders who have a communications problem.

 

Might be worth trying him in a three at the back on his own in central defence.

With Cowan on the transfer list and Chenners suspended will Theobald be back in favour saturday?

[blooming barmy bongo]

or could it mark the return of Don't mess with me Dobbo!!

I think Dobbo is still injured.

Blimey he seems to have been out longer than Lee in comparitive terms.

 

Would assume that Lee, and possibly Dobbo must be doing some light training by now, or am I rushing them along a little bit.

 

Be a good christmas present to have Lee back in the side. Wonder if this injury will effect his play when he returns - I have this mental assumption that he will just start one day and create wonders and s**t miracles which I perhaps need to appreciate he might not be able to do.......
