Nothing against Tom Soarses, he's trying but he's only shown decent form from my memory in the second half against Spurs.
Michael Tonge looks like he has a turn of pace also and that he can really pick a pass and unlock a defence.
I no plenty were crying out for him to start today, but surely he must start against Newcastle.

Agree would like to see Tongue given a start today,we seem to be more creative in the last third of the pitch when he is on.Would like to see us play with a more attack minded midfield at home. How did Salif get MOM award?

Ye his ball for Delap with his 1st touch was class and he really can pick out a pass. Would like to see him start but either him or Soares are decent options but i cant wait to get Liam back and start scoring from the odd set piece

I thought Salif played well! He put in some great tackles and his passing was good until it got announced he was MOM. After that he did 3 woeful passes. I think it was fair though, Salif I thought was marvellous. Other than that Ab Faye may have got it but no one else deserved it imo.

Tonge should have started. Let's hope in the week the midfield gets a shake up. If Abduolaye is nursing a pull he should also be rested and Sonko given a game.

You can see that Soares in not a winger because when it comes to the final 3rd he is awful, everything else about his game is brilliant, with Tongue, however, he shows good flair and releases the ball when he needs to.

I'd like to see Tonge, or Lawrence when fit, to be tried out in central midfield, the Diao/Faye partnership is far far to defensive, especially at home, we're hamstringing ourselves by playing two destroyers in the centre of midfield, neither Diao or Faye have played particularly badly, but they're just to similar.
Tonge has to play in the next game.

To me Soares has been poor for the last 2 games....his crossing has been poor and he hasn't been able to clear the 1st man..Tonge has to be given a chance to see what he can do from the start...and maybe that will make Soares buck his ideas up.

We do miss Liam, out of sight, out of mind it seems, but i swear, a fit Lawrence is better than Tonge or Soares

Tonge played a ball behind the full back for Fuller late on. It was weighted to perfection and he must have played it from 40 yards away - with someone with pace in front of him he could be really dangerous.

The problem today was that when we attacked with a long ball in to Mama and Fuller the central midfield were too slow in pushing up. It was only when Delap made the trip or Griff overlapped on the wing that we managed to keep it in their half

Neither are consistently good enough. We need more creativity against teams who defend like Hull. Hopefully Lawrence will provide this outlet - otherwise we need to spend again in January.
I fear Soares and Tonge were end of transfer window hasty signings

As much as it pains me to say this, I think Tonge has played well when he comes on, and whilst hardly setting the game alight, he certainly alters the way it's going. I'd have preferred him on from the start today. He has good vision, good passing, and sets up good play. Hope he gets a chance next week.

I've been less than impressed with Soares so far and Tonge needs a chance from the start.

Saores has the pace, but Tonge has vision and the ablity to play the right ball at the rigth time. Would like to see Tonge start agaisnt newcastle.

Tonge should be starting, Soares looks low on confidence for some reason. I'm sure he'll be a decent player for us but Tonge has to play for me.

soares is utter shit, never in the game and when he get s a chance to do something its like his legs go all heavy and hes nervous, tonge should be a starter against Magpies and fulham. give him a run he cant do worse than soares, i no its to early to judge but he seems to be worse of a buy than kitson, its only how much we payed for kitson what makes it seem worse
