Team Predictor

    So what’s Saturday’s team going to be?

    Name the starting eleven and the subs. You get three points for every starter named correctly and a point for every sub named.

    Unlike the old days, I won’t be counting up the points, so it’s for your satisfaction and personal pride only.

    In the event of a tie, the person who put their team up first ought to be the winner. However, you have to balance that against possible ins and outs and the chances of any ins playing on Saturday.

    Let the predictions commence.

    I also agree. But no Ince or Livermore on the bench. Two youngsters.

    That team deeply depresses me.

    I think Kayembe will feature somewhere. Maybe on the bench. I've got as nagging feeling he'll play Ngakia over Andrews. Martins will be on the left and I think Kalu will get the nod for the right wing position. Sema on the bench.

    You wait until you see them play. Then you’ll be depressed.

    Thats the starting 11 I'm expecting. Kayembe instead of Grieves on the bench. Has Ince recovered from is injury yet?

    Yep, generally speaking, new players make debuts from the bench on matchday 1.

    Hell I remember the first Pozzo game. We kicked off with ****inson, Nosworthy, Yeates and Garner. Then we unleashed Vydra (and Iwelumo and Connor Smith...)

    I think we let him go too soon. Iwelumo, I mean.

    Reduces the risk of a Bachmann calamity. I can see the logic.

    Doing this without looking at any others for a bit of fun.

    Bachmann
    Ngakia
    Porteous
    Hoedt
    Lewis
    Sierralta
    Louza
    Dele-Bashiru
    Sema

    Subs:
    Hamer
    Pollock

    Would like to see Kone, Andrews and Healey start, assuming they are all fit. Guessing Ince will be a week or two before he is fit and in the squad.

    Swap Morris for Lewis and this was bang on (including the subs). Shame Lewis isn't ready.
