His lack of form worries me.
Been ineffective since signing a permanent contract.
If Dale Stephens is out, I think Nigel should play Gobern alongside Hammond.

Or, as has been said before, try Butterfield in midfield.
I saw him switch to there against Yeovil and he looked useful.
Agree about Chaplow although his loss of form also coincides with Spiderman's injury, which may be more of a fator.

My view, for what it's worth, is that if Spiderman is going to have an injury that keeps him unavailable for a few weeks then it's better that it happens in L1 than the Championship* where we would miss him even more. *Although because he has one now doesn't mean that he won't get another next year. |

Pat, Like Chris, I think Chaplow's lack of effectiveness has more to do with Schneiderlin being out more than anything else. I was looking forward to seeing how he performed alongside Stephens, but I guess we will have to wait for that.

that doesn't add up...
Since signing permanently, and up till Schniederlin has been unavailable Chaplow has played alongside Schniederlin 6 times, and only once with Hammond.
Yet his form was deteriorating even then.
In fact the game before Morgans injury Adkins preferred the Hammond/Schniederlin combo.
Obviously since Schniederlin was sidelined he has had to partner Hammond, until Dale Stephens came along.
I believe Chaplow was carrying an injury in January and he didn't get forward as much as usually did. This seems to be the case now, and the hamstring injury has cleared up.
He seems to be playing "well within himself"

Gobern, what are you all on about with this kid?
Apart from a couple of non-performances and some bit part supporting roles (once when he pulled off one of the greatest comedy tackles/attempts to break somebody's legs/had no idea what he was doing/flying through the air routines) he's not actually done anything.
I don't know that he's not going to make it but whenever I've seen him play he doesn't look like he's got much going for him at the moment.
It's a little bit defensive but I like the current tactics of playing the spare full-back in midfield as cover (and who incidentally, can actually get to the byline and cross unlike our usual wingers).
I'd go for that with the defensive cover and Guly at the moment (although I admit he can be a bit wishy-washy himself).
I quite like the look of that Stephens and although he did have a few errant passes before he got scraped on his Achilles I thought he was getting into the groove quite nicely considering the short amount of time he spent with us, a work in progress by all means but not bad.

I'd like to see Butterfield given a chance in midfield if Chaplow really is not 100% fit. It would also give Richardson chance for a decent run at RB.
Still in Nige we trust. We must just keep chipping away.

Oscar should be a good player one day but he's very gung-ho. Stephens looked the part, shame he got crocked. I agree that Butterfield seems an intelligent enough player to play in midfield.

I think Chaplow is carrying an injury at the moment. We miss Morgan, and it's a shame Stephens got injured, but we're still on a good run so the players picked must be doing something right.
Oh, and I like Gobern too.

We must just keep chipping away. ere ere Anyone else think that something went wrong with Hammond Sat? He was fine at first, but then he seemed to fall apart a bit, which coincided with our period of utter cluelessness. Then towards the end he seemed to gee himself up a bit. Obv. he wasn't getting great help from the other 3 midfielders, so I'm not blaming him, just thought he went off the boil. |

My friend said to me at the last home game that Chaplow didn't seem to be moving that comfortably when not on the ball, I don't think he's moving that well on it either! So maybe there is something to this injury theory, he seems to have lost a lot of his intensity, which is 70% of what he is
