Helander drafted into euro squad

[Marstonbear]

Possibly a knock to one of the three CBs in the squad?

I'd guess we'll hear in the presser tonight.

Sounds like the most likely answer, either that or Barker has a knock

 

[Marstonbear]

People do realise he'll only be in Warsaw as cover, dont they?

Yes but he can bring back some duty frees now

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Maybe with Kent supposedly coming in, the gaffer realised he doesn’t need Barker for Europe.

 

[Luthgibear]

Stupid rule anyway!

 

[imager]

Could be as simple as one of the 3 CHs reported a slight cold or a slight muscle niggle this morning so cover was required.

 

[Redford]

Makes sense.

 

[quintessenti-Al]

I was really surprised we were only going with 3 CBs in our Euro Squad. 3 players for 2 positions..... imagine one get a red card in the first leg! I don't expect him to start unless there is a suspension or injury mind you.

 

[GodSaveTheQueen]

Aye lets change an undefeated free scoring formation and go with an untested unused formation in biggest fixture to date

Its an option. I didnt say I was endorsing it.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Someone maybe has a knock

 

[BlueStu72]

I honestly don't know where some peoples train of thought comes from.

Maybe a cb reported a niggle or illness. Maybe Barker reported an illness or niggle and FH was next in line to be part of the squad.

I don't get this need for everything to be such a drama.

FF needs a conspiracy.

 

[Grimsdale]

Does that mean we can stop the Helander threads about not being good enough and start on Barker instead?

Exactly. Is Ronnie injured ?

 

[rossgers]

To play 3 at the back for the first time this season away from home against our best opposition so far would be the definition of crazy. Its not going to happen.

 

[I believe in Eli]

Maybe Helander had a knock and has recovered. I’m sure the gaffer will clarify.

 

[dh1963]

If Kent did join, who would now drop out?

 

[tottie beck]

Much better choice. Dont really get the Barker signing if im honest. Is Edmundson in the squad too?

 

[DavyPik]

Maybe Barker has passport issues ?

 

[Modfella]

SG just answered the question of why Helander was not in the original squad in tonight's presser.
Basically said he had to put the 22 names in 24hrs after the last game but that this was never his final 22, said it was a stupid rule.

 

[Big Buff]

On top of that, our 4-3-3 is well suited to combat Legia’s 4-4-2.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

I wonder what brought about the change?

Possibly assessed both in training and decided Helander is the more match fit of the two.

 

[Mackania]

Is he an out and out left sided centre half or has he been played at full back before?

 

[The Predator]

3 at the back?

Why would we do something stupid like that in one of our most important games we will face this season? This isn't Fifa or PES

 

[SDR]

Good stuff.

I was in the midst of writing him off.

Only in the midst of? Man up! This is FF, where over the years we've seen many a poster decide on a player's future after seeing him for a 2 minute cameo on a rainy night on a plastic pitch!

 

[tazzabear]

Got it in one, bud.

 

[tazzabear]

Legia play 442 so that might be a possibility

You really believe this would be under consideration at this stage of the season?
In this game?

 

[Necro]

Where did I say that?

 

[tazzabear]

Where did I say that?

I don’t think it’s too much of a leap to infer your post as I did.
