Geertruida

B

Biglicks

Central Defender
Can we please resist the temptation of replacing Ballard with Onien and give this bloke a chance. Was awesome against Newcastle then hasn’t featured much. 3 tough games to finish the season and we could do with a positive finish.
Mukiele back in the middle and let him come into either right back or midfield nxt to Granit.

He’s a good player so there is definitely a point in playing him. We signed him for a season and the season still has three games remaining.

Said on other threads...that if the heirarchy know he's away then I can see why they are reluctant to play him.

Better to learn more about the other players and give them a chance.

That is absolutely the case, but what are we going to learn about O’Nien or Hume that we don’t already know? Geertruida was a loan signing for a season and he’s possibly a better CB than O’Nien and RB than Hume. I’d play him as I think he’s the better option.

Not having a go at Hume or O’Nien with this post mind as I like them both, but we know what they’re are and where their limitations lie.

He was the best player on the pitch the last game he started.

Once a player is away (if it's 100% sure) I wouldn't want to give them minutes in my team, unless they were head and shoulders above the others I had available.

There's a clause in his contract that triggers after x amount of appearances. Reggie confirmed it.

He’s played 27 times. I can’t see 28 being the trigger number

Fair point about Watson, but I think he offered something that most other players didn't. Good ball carrier. Roberts was good , but lacked end product a lot of the time.

And I completely get your point too about him not being in future plans. But we’re in the here and now, so just play your best team. If there was a young’un he was keeping out the team we wanted to try for a few games, then absolutely don’t play him but that isn’t the case.

I fear its attitude related (pure guesswork from me) mainly based on the above.
