[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 803161, member: 72205"] Could equally be Goode or Burrell though. Honestly I think it doesn't make a jot of difference unless there's an injury the player will likely play 5-10 mins at most with Ford/Farrell on the field and Nowell on the bench its just a question of how Eddie thinks he'll shift things around once they come on with two injuries and where Nowell provides the least amount of cover which would likely be center or full-back and there's plenty of full-back options so Goode's unlikely. They've trained with Burrell as a starter though so he might get the nod as a back-up center. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Aye but it would genuinely shocking if Jones didn't do this. Last week I thought it was wrong call and it was proven in the match but you could understand why Jones started Farrell. This time though I would be less likely to understand the decision making behind doing so. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] As a side note I wonder how much Jones was sold on the decision to play Farrell/Burrell and how much of it was down to pressure. We laud him for decision to make the change so early but the fact he made it made it suggests he was never utterly 100% on the idea. [/QUOTE]
