Surely at this stage, the strongest team MUST be played.
We have a pretty much injury free squad and Ethrington and Fuller need to start every game IMO-
---Tommy---
Wilko---Abdy--ShawX---Higgy
Lenny---Whelan--Delap---Ethers
--Fuller---Beattie--
If I dont see this team I'm going to be annoyed!

That is the team I would like to see also. The problem is that if Pulis doesn't think player are 100% what is the point in starting them and losing all momentum in the 2nd half? I would rather they came off the bench all guns than fade out and pos lose a lead we may have taken with no pace to get the game back.

Well, that's true.
But Sidibe isn't cutting it.
I'd rather have Cresswell :\

just remember that mama has the knack of coiming good when it really matters and seems to score the important goals , i'm sure he will do too for the remainder of this season, i wouldn't drop mama for the remaider of te season.
fuller imo is a more effective impact player than he is starter, i'd prefer to see fuller come on after 60 minutes of any game, winning or losing.
i do like the thought of etherington and lawrence starting together but overall, i'd prefer TP to field a team that he is comfortable with and that he is confident of picking up the right results, our home record shows that at home he is 9 times out of 10 correct in what he does. Away tactics could be a bit more positive imo but we have to trust TP that he knows what he's doing and accept that he's fielding a side that he feels are capable of picking up enough points.

I think camara is worth a go with beats to see if he can hack it.Give him a good 60 mins to see what the guys made of and if the shit hits the fan bring on ric.Mama just doesnt look himself at the minute but he will kick in when we need him most.

still think that Fuller should be sub, he is such an impact.

Why not use his impact from the start? If he tires, he can come off. Maybe then we wont be 2-0 down before his impact is required ????

Good point, but IMO, Fuller's impact is primarily due to his pace, at the start of the game the oppo defenders ain't knackered so he has less impact, bring him on after 60 minutes against tired legs and they'll be sh1tting themselves against his pace (not to mention, power, strength, finishing etc) |

TP has said again that he considers Fuller not to be 100% fit so we have to live with that.
Sidebe hasnt got back into the groove yet & there is an aobvious question mark re his partnership with Beattie (i.e it hasnt worked so far)
Camara perhaps deserves a go but was poor in the last reserve outing.
you know whats coming dont you.
who'se fit & with no obvious 'baggage'?
Cressie to start you've been warned......

Anyone who suggests Mama should start and Fuller only brought on as an impact player doesn't have a fucking clue.
Better to be 2-0 up at half time than 2-0 down chasing the draw bringing Fuller on.
Leave Mama on the bench and bring him on last 10 -15 if we are struggling.
We haven't really missed him.

Look at the strikers we had available. Now it's not really a problem |

I havent seen anything from the Mama BT partnership to suggest that it will work, especially at home when we will be taking the game to the opponents. I would like to see Camara given a chance with Beats as Ricci musy not be 100% fit yet.
I think the bigger issue is the midfield and the fact that TP wont play our strongest midfield which is defo:
Liam--Whelan--Rory--Ethers
Unfortunately Tone wont play a midfield without Diao/Lil faye, as he has to have a holding player in there. This means Rory being shifted to the right and Liam on the bench which means us losing the excellent dead balls liam delivers.

The reality is right now that Beattie and Fuller will not start. And I highly doubt he will put Liam on the pitch at the same time as Ethers.

Fuller will only start if he and TP are happy with the shoulder last thing we want is to lose Ric for the rest of the season PS I want Ric to start with BT like most us !! |

I know it was Pulis you were quoting there, but I'll be honest, Diao is shit
