TEAM TO FACE SWANSEA?

Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:23 pm

What would YOUR team to face Swansea in the derby? Mine is:
----------------------------Marshall
Super Kev ---- Dekel ---- Hudson ----- Blake? Not sure.

Burke -------- Oli ------- Whitts -------- Bellars

----------------------- JayB ----- Chops

Bench: Heaton, Parkin, JET, Ramsey, Naylor, Quinn, Meades

I fear after tonights performace, we're gonna get a thumping on Sunday. I think JB and Chops is a key duo and the back 4 really need to tighten it up and concentrate. Thoughts?

If you do that you would want to swap Blake and Kev around.

Yeah i would. But i think, tonight since we've bought in a few loan players. They havn't had time to adapt to eachother others play style. So i'd put out an experianced team, who know eachother play styles quite well.

Think the Jay and Chops combo is essiential. Just a thought, will Bellamy have to rest his knee for the game Sunday? One game a week i thought? :roll: I dunno. :lol:

Im sure he played 2 games in a week over x-mas so im sure he will be fine, otherwise I would have expected him to be rested today.

Hmm, Okay. Just hope he doesn't over-do it. Then be wrecked for the rest of the season! :ayatollah:
And, Anyone think Kev has earned himself Legendary status yet? ;) I do.

Hahaha, me and my mate were wishing for this last night. Even a Super Kev in goals where he would only use his head!

I'd play...

GK: Heaton (would have put Marshall in games ago but now Heaton is in can't change it really)
DR: Quinn
DL: McNaughton
DC: Keinan
DC: Hudson
MR: Burke
ML: Bellamy
MC: Ramsey
MC: Whittingham
FC: Bothroyd
FC: Chopra

I was torn between Whittingham and Olofinjana but Oli is in a bad way right now and is a passenger. Pratley would rip him apart right now and we don't really have anyone else who could stunt him so might as well hope Ramsey can do it and put Whittingham in. Would have been nice to have Michael Brown available for this game!

Re: TEAM TO FACE SWANSEA?

We tried Chops on the wing in a front three against the jerks at home didnt work. So I would like to see this team and just go for it.

Heaton
Quinn/Blake
Hudson
Keinan
Kev
Oli (in front of back four to protect)
Rambo
Bellamy
Jet
Chops
Jay
playin a 4 - 1 - 3 - 2 system

With a bench of Marshall , Beast , Whitts , Mathews, Burkie , Naylor.

I couldn't pick Whitts for this game if my life depended on it. Far to light weight to muscle Pratley and chase around Allen. We need McPhail ideally but Oli has to go in for the physical presence.

Remember it's only three points I expect DJ to rest most of the squad this Sunday, my team

Santiago

Blake
Gypes
Parkin
Naylor will never be dropped no matter what..

Wildig recalled
JET because Arsene told DJ he had to
Marshall bound to have a good shot
Rae
McPhail
Meades

Yes that's right no strikers Parkin C/B, DJ has to make a least one stupid selection come Derby Day, why not go the whole hog.

That is precisely what I would choose - and I am not paid £750k pa for it. ;)

The obvious problem though is the defence. Keinan is untested. Quinn is average.

But what choice does he have? Naylor, Matthews or Blake as full backs. No no no. Quinn is the best of a bad lot.

Also no Jet or Whitt'm. Not their type of game.

Just have no option but to tear into them from the off, and just hope we can score enough to compensate for what is likely to occur at our end.
