Preview JLT3: Vs Eagles Venue Unknown(due to Adele) Mitchell vs Lewis Round 1

Yeah maybe. Hadn't heard of hibberds injury. But Garland would be a long shot unless it's maybe for a specific opponent? He was fairly out of favour for all of last year. But I guess that's what depth is for. Whats up with frost I wonder...

 

[schmuttt]

I'm not a Garland fan at all but he is the perfect matchup for Membrey....

Exactly my thought.

Smith went past Garland early last season.

 

[schmuttt]

Exactly my thought.

I think we can play both him and Hibberd in the same side too. I really don't want Hibberd having to play on the 3rd tall, he is much stronger if we can get him manning up a weaker option and playing his intercept game. Surely Garland is a good chance to play considering with Membreys form against us we can afford to have one defender play a complete lockdown role on him and let the other 5 focus on the 'offensive defence' we've got going under Goodwin.

Yeah i agree, bring him in, and tell him to stick to Membrey like toilet paper to the bottom of his shoe, and make sure he knows his football career relies on it.

I lost faith in Garland after Daniher went rogue on him. I do really like Garland and want him to succeed, But it's hard to see him making it back

To be fair, when you put a 191cm, third tall/medium sized defender on a 200cm giant Key Forward, its really only going to end one way.

That was a horribly unfair matchup that only occurred because he was shitting on TMac. Like I said I'm a big critic of Garland (Shows no urgency and has horrible body language) but he'd be handy to shut down Membrey imo.

I know it's just a practice match but I hope we went over our game with the Eagles last year for reference. That game was an absolute waste of an opportunity.

Didn't we put Miller on Barry Hall and he nullified him?

Agreed. We were dominating everything and we still lost.

How do you guys think you'll combat the GOAT Giles & his wing man Vardy?

Tbh BenKen and Harmes can probably match it with them in the ruck

Vardy is going to have to solo, Giles is out
