Suspension Tightrope – Red Sammon

Boxing Day. Unfortunately for these pages, a day named for boxes rather than on-field pugilists, but despite that fact we still have some disciplinary matters to round up…

First on the FA’s morning docket will be Wigan striker (and headline writer’s dream) Conor Sammon, after his red in the 5-0 drubbing from a United side with some notable absentees. His 39th minute clash with Michael Carrick – while the game was still 1-0 – resulted in a straight red and an immediate three-match ban for the Irishman (sto, SUN) followed by the FA Cup trip to Swindon. However, with reports surfacing of agreement between Martínez and Ferguson that the card was harsh and some suggestions that the Wigan manager has already stated his intention to appeal, this may not be the last we hear on this matter.

The other points of note from the games today were fourth yellow cards of the season for Newcastle’s Ivorian enforcer Cheick Tioté and recent Watchlist focus Robert Huth of Stoke. If either is now booked in their final games of the year – the Friday night clash at Liverpool for Tiote and the hosting of Wigan the following day for Huth – then they will incur the customary one-match ban. Avoid caution in that game and they will pass the 1st January deadline unpunished, after which the bar will be raised to 10 yellows before any censure.

    Have 2 free transfers. Im giving up on getting another big hitter in the midfield and keeping sess. So please offer your opinions on this transfer strategy.

    this gw: evans->shotton, brown->BAE (have to this week before BAE rises)

    next gw: moses->drenthe

    Would give me for the DGW:

    Vorm(av)

    Kompany(LIV), BAE(x2), Shotton(bla)

    Bale(x2), Drenthe(x2), Nani(new), Silva(LIV)

    RVP(ful), Adebayor(x2), Sturridge(wol)

    (Sess, Enrique, Kelly)

    should i be thinking bigger and moving some heavier hitters around. This seems like a balance between adequate DGW coverage while having a decent bench in case of rest/rotation/whatever.

        Dear BH in a double GW, even Gallas comes in for a 1min for the second game that is it. No Jones or others coming from the bench.

        Regarding Gallas, he might be worth a punt if we don't have cash. He might play the both games, but buying a double GW player who suddenly becomes a single GW player doesn't make sense mate sorry

      The trouble with Surman is that just as Norwich midfielders look nailed on, they seem to get rotated. And for a bench-fodder midfielder one wants 100% nailed on. Ba -> Studge is tempting, as I almost did it myself last night, but it's niggling at me that it might not be right any more.

    well, well, well.

    Jevans and Smalling throw a combined spanner in my works working up to GW20.

    saved 2 FT's to move a few players in/out over the next two GW's and now i have to use them to shoot some crippled horses.

    now where did i put my transfer gun?

      Smalling should be fine for Balckburn

      should be easier to bring in a DGW defender, at least one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and has an Edgar Allen Poe haircut.

        oh BAE and Walker are options.

        i just wasn't planning to make those moves in GW18.

        ho hum.

    Ok already have Ade, Bale and drenthe for the DGW..

    Which addition seems better to it -- (VDV+ Hibbert) or (Walker/BAE+OSman)

    For the first choice hibbert is the only defender i can afford..

    On one hand if I have a spurs defender, 2 everton mids seem like waste, and on the other hand 1 everton defender seems a waste with my 3 spurs attackers..

    Dilemma dilemma..

      look on hibbert as insurance if your spurs attackers fail to score. Obviously doesn't cover Lennon, Modric, Defoe etc scoring - but you get the gist.
