It's probably not a struggle to think of Tuncay and Gudjohnsson. They came, whether he wanted them is open to discussion... Both had played in England before though (Tuncay came directly from Middlesborough and Gudjohnsen was on loan at Tottenham the season before he joined and previously spent most of his career here). Yet they were both misfits here...

How on earth have we just won a match 3-0 without the "golden" pair?
Could it possibly be that OUR manager made the correct decisions? Maybe he could have included one that wasn't quite ready, after injury, and needed another match with the 23s. Oh, and should he have included the other that apparently is recovering from Flu.
That is the basis upon which I am basing my arguement (you know who you are!)

Without wanting to be Winston Wolf, I’d maybe leave it a few games before we anoint Jordan Cousins our lord and saviour and start saying ‘Peter Who?’.

Definitely agree. I think they have this idea that TP’s success was built in British players so we need to go back to that. In reality in the TP era the league was far less competitive and TP/the scouts also had an excellent eye for a player so we somehow managed to pick up Fuller/Higgy/Lawrence/Whelan/Shawcross for very reasonable fees. Thanks for agreeing but I disagree somewhat. TP did employ a number of foreign-ish players, although they'd played in England before like Faye, Sorensen, Huth. Berger, Diao, Fuller, Begovic, Mama Sidibe, Kenwyne Jones, Cameron, N’Zonzi, plenty more, too. But yes, mostly foreign players with experience of playing in England.

Sounds like MON will be going with the same team Saturday so these two won’t be in the starting lineup.

Oh dear ..... In what way am I doing that? It’s a discussion about the midfield with you crowing about anyone moaning about our two best midfielders not playing. Unless they’ve changed the rules to allow us to play Luton at home every week, maybe let’s not put our swingers on the table just yet eh?

His comments after to Nigel Paxman told us all he’s pretty pissed off about the constant questions about Badou and Etebo.

Lose while being weak as piss in the middle and they won't. It's actually quite funny. People running around this messagboard, cat calling fans who made genuine observations about our midfield because the manager picked a player most had forgot about, and the rest wouldn't touch with a barge pole. There's a lovely irony to it that just sings.

It’s pretty obvious that they’ve both already been sold and they’re not risking them being injured.
Our two most saleable assets so it makes sense.

I think it is fair to assume that both Cousins and Allen will play on Saturday after their performances last night.
I'd still like to see Clucas moved to left back with Etebo or Badou taking Clucas midfield role.
As an aside, I thought Clucas was very good in the opening exchanges of yesterday's game. Whilst many of his colleagues started terribly, he was working hard to get us a foothold in the game.

We got the result without them. Love Badou and Etebo I think they are the best two players at the club. I’d be hoping to see them back in at some point. Neither have ever been the problem.
I would mind seeing Etebo play on the wing, he’s quick and half decent at moving with the ball.

I think MON is a good strategist and hes treating the season remainder as a bit of a battle, so you dont want all your best men shot down in the morning, so to speak!

Wonder if Etebo may be off to Newcastle, Bruce singled him out when sheff weds manager. Think his words were " where did they find Etebo from? in press conference.

i think all the ambition the club had as gone. we are just selling our better players instead of building around them. really depressing when you think of all the money the coates family as, it looks like we will be in the championship or div 2 for a long time.
