Niasse is now no. 19 not 34.

He could well do very well tonight, but it's risky adding to the pressure the kid will be feeling on his first start.

I'd like to see him in his natural position mate and maybe that's where he'll play...

We'll see (well, maybe hear) how it works (or doesn't) in half-an-hour or so

My weekly optimism is back, going with a convincing 4-0 win!!!

Regardless if I think it's a good side or not, all I'm arsed about is the pmayers on show putting in a shift and hopefully our class will tell and we can get ourselves into the next round

COYB!!!

Were you at the home game vs Coventry when we won 2-1 after being 1 down? think Peter Reid came on as sub and Sharp scored the winner in the last min ?

I wasn't mate

Oxford?

Yes

 

[Jamiednm]

Quite an attacking line up. Hopefully we'll get a shot on target.

 

[Zezti]

do you actually care?

Not much, but its a big, horrible looking font which unfortunately catches my eye.

Kenny should be playing at RV, giving how woeful our options there are.

Holgate should be taking Williams' place, giving he should have been sent to the glue factory already.

That would a 75% shuffled back 4 unfamiliar with their playing partners and positions in a game we desperately want to win to get some momentum. Assuming this is what you are asking for. Kenny, RB not played the in senior team this year, Holgate has not played as a LCB in senior team all year, Keane has not played with Holgate to his left all Year, & ?, LB since Baines is not playing. Don't you think that is a recipe for disaster. 2 guys playing out of position to shoehorn in a RB. Or is it more logical to have a somewhat familiar back 3 with only 1 player not on his preferred foot but positionally playing FB. With an international player and former Ajax captain hopefully providing cover.

We may not like Williams performance this year but at least I can see the logic behind the defense.

The mistake you're making here mate is not realising that it doesn't work that way in FIFA

Ahhhh silly me!

 

[bol-uk]

I reckon Williams or Holgate at LB and Kenny at RB

 

[NSNO_Phil_1878]

Are we on any foreign channel?

 

[JLW]

For Sunderland?

Our season starts tonight mate! If he can't muster up a team to beat Sunderland then... we'll I dread to think what's in store for the rest of season
