Slow day today. Given our purchases what do you think the team for Saturday will be? Aidy's got some interesting attacking choices to make - at last Foster Mariappa, Shittu, Demerit, Stewart Smith, Mahon, Bangura, Young Priskin, Hoskins bench: Lee, Malky, Williamson, Henderson, Ashikobi (sorry Macca)
Almost agree. My choice would be: Foster Mariappa, Shittu, Demerit, Stewart Young, Mahon, Bangura, Macca Hendo, Hoskins Subs: Priskin, Smith, Malky, Williamson, Lee
Almost agree with both of you Foster Mariappa, Shittu, DeMerit, Stewart Smith, Mahon, Bangura, Young Hendo, Hoskins Can't see Smithy being dropped after goals against Arsenal and Stockport. Shittu may be unfit, so Malky may start. If both Shittu _and_ Malky are unfit, I guess it's Doyley on the right and Mariappa in the middle.
Hi Lendal mate, Will Hammie be fit for selection? I discounted him because i thoughthe would still be out. If he is fit i would play him instead of Priskin and put Ash alongside Hoskins in the centre.
Apparently he's nearly back although i think saturday will come too soon for him. Foster Mariappa DeMerit Shittu Stewart Young Mahon Williamson Smith (agreed, sorry macca) Priskin Hoskins Subs: Lee, Malky, Bangura, Hendo, Ashikodi
Lee Mariappa Shittu or Mackay Demerit Powell Smith Bangura Mahon Young Ashikodi Priskin Subs: Foster, Stewart/Williamson, Shittu/Mackay, Macca, Hoskins
They did say something like that but I am not sure Aidy will take a risk if Bouazza is not quite ready. I don't think BOTH Hoskins and Moses will start to be honest and I expect Williamson to be on the bench as Mahon/Bangura play in central midfeild. Big D to come in for Malky or even Jay maybe?
agreed, i can't see moses and hoskins started as it is too inexperienced. Although both seem very talented it maybe better if someone more experienced was in there like young.
Foster Mariappa Demerit Shittu/MacKay Stewart Williamson Mahon Smith/Young Hoskins Ashikodi Young/McNamee Subs: Lee, MacKay/Doyley, Bangura/Powell, Henderson, Priskin/McNamee I think Williamson needs to start... Quality goalscoring midfielder. If he plays, Hoskins probably should too - keep some stability for the new boys. Moses deserves to start, with Henderson and Priskin or McNamee on the bench as backup if either of the new boys runs out of gas. Also, I think Aidy may want to see how the new boys play off Hendo if there are problems winning the ball in the opposition box. Ashley has to play (Aidy promised that last saturday was not going to be his last game for the club). Smith and McNamee are our two other decent crossers in the absence of Bouazza, but seem to be more 'sided' than Young is (which is why I listed him twice !) The back line is pretty stable if Shittu is back to full fitness. But hey, what do I know ?
they said at the stockport game hameur is back for saturday. i think williamson is more likely to start out of anyone as we have lacked creativity in midfield. im not sure who will start upfront. it makes a change to have options to choose from.if only we had these options 3 months ago!!! foster mariappa shittu demerit stewart young mahon williamson macca hendo moses
The team will be; Foster Stewart Shittu Jay Aidy Hammer Mahon Williamson Young Moses Hoskins Subs Makay Bang Macca Hendo Priskin Time to take risks now.
I recokon Foster Mariappa Shittu Jay Stewart Smith (would not have in there personally) Mahon Williamson Macca Moses Young Subs Lee Makay Hoskins Priskin/Hendo - one of these will not make the bench Al Bang Bouazza might be fit but won't be risked
For me it would be: Foster Powell (idealy) Shittu Jay Mariappa Macca Al Bang Gav Young Moses Priskin Subs: Lee Stewert Hoskins Williamson Hendo Also wouldnt risk bouazza too early
I would go for: Foster Mariappa Shittu Demerit Stewart Young Mahon Bangura McNamee Priskin Hoskins Lee, Doyley, Williamson, Ashikodi, Smith
