The team will pick itself soon

IMO The team is starting to look like a team that will shortly pick itself with a few changes here and there.
most of Malky's new recruits are making their way into the starting 11:

Marshall - Great shot stopper and awesome today but very much sits on his line which does catch him out and leads to goals from opposition but definately first choice

THEOPHILE-CATHERINE definitely in now he has made this his position

STEVEN CAULKER - best defender we have had in years

BEN TURNER - surprisingly picked ahead of Hudson which is predominantly due to his age and left footed player (maybe one looking over his shoulder for hudson)

ANDREW TAYLOR - experience keeping him in instead of Declan John steady rather than spectacular

GARY MEDEL - quality no more to be said

PETER WHITTINGHAM - picked because of previous ability and performances but not playing at his best (IMO)

BO-KYUNG KIM - other than for his lack of physical strength difficult to see why he would be left out the premiership suits him better than the hustle and bustle of the Championship

ARON GUNNARSSON - a possible one to ponder on but malky likes his grit and his ability to score from midfield

CRAIG BELLAMY - will play him when he is fit and mentally ok but will be one of the possible changes Cowie or Noone as replacement

PETER ODEMWINGIE - in my opinion soon to replace Campbell but then where does Cornelius fit in?

any one disagree/agree

I used to like Whitts but the problem is that he is a confidence player, if he fluffs it or gets tackled hard in the first quarter then he tends to switch off/shit out for the rest of the game.

Possession is so much more important in the premier league, and giving it away is criminal. Gunnar gives the ball away too often. Gunnar got dropped about this time last year for the same thing.

Bellers is on the downgrade and should start from the bench a little more often and give us 30 min cameos- Needs to give up Wales.

Whitts is a central midfield player nowadays - He is definitely mid prem level

Kimbo is our luxury player, but its a football match decided on goals not a street skill session, so we need an end product not just a few step overs.
