Rommedahl

Barn Door Varney

I've just seen an article from the Guardian saying that Dowie wants Rommedahl to have a free role.

I wonder if this means that he will try a midfield diamond against Pompey with Pouso at the base, Kish on the right, Ambrose or Hughes on the left and Romm playing just behind the strikers.

Doesn't seem a bad idea to me!

I'm a big fan of Dennis and am desperate for him to really come good...

A free role could be a good idea, he's useless at tracking back and to date we haven't really used his pace, give him a bit more responsibility and license to roam and it could be what we need.

I've been saying this all season! Play 2 of Faye, Kish and Pousso for bite and let the likes of Dennis and Ambrose do what they do best-attack!

hopefully this will happen- he was good at Chelsea

I read that on the train this morning and nearly cheered out loud. G'WAN DENNIS!

("How is Iain Dowie going to get the best out of Charlton flop Dennis Rommedahl? By letting him do anything he wants.")

pretty certain Dennis will start today.

Will he perform or not ?

I think he'll have a good un today, though it would be typical of him to get his foot in the door, and then fall back again.

Thought he did ok today. His shot that hit the bar/post was awesome.

AFKABartram

every game he frustrates me more.

how many times did he open his legs and travel with the ball ? twice ?

he just seems to switch off when the posession is not around him, and offers no cover at all.

what was the consensus, were you pleased with his contribution ?

LenGlover

See my post about Kish. Great shot but where were the crosses? His corners were poor too imo.

BlackForestReds

I thought he played better in the second half when we switched to 4-4-2 and he had a bit more support around him.

I seem to remember shouting 'Go on Dennis' quite a lot but either he got tackled too easily or his cross was wayward. I was dissapointed with him today I have to admit, and I'm just dying for him to do well.

AFKABartram

what frustrates me is that flair players ARE being given a chance, but none of them are really taking it...

jimmymelrose

I just said as much to my girlfriend (whose response was 'do I look good in this!'). I wish our 'flair players' would show as much flair as she does in getting ready to go out!
