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.
GK - BACHMANN RB - ANDREWS CB - HOEDT CB - PORTEOUS LB - MORRIS DM - SIERRALTA CM - LOUZA CM - KONE LW - SEMA RW - MARTINS ST - BAYO SUBS: HAMER KALU INCE LIVERMORE POLLOCK NGAKIA LEWIS GRIEVES HEALEY
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.
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...)
GK - BACHMANN RB - NGAKIA CB - PORTEOUS CB - HOEDT LB - LEWIS DM - SIERRALTA CM - LOUZA CM - KONE RW - SEMA LW - MARTINS ST - BAYO SUBS: HAMER ASPRILLA KALU LIVERMORE POLLOCK ANDREWS MORRIS DELE-BASHIRU HEALEY
4-1-2-3: -----------------Bachmann--------------- Andrews--Porteous--Hoedt--Morris ------------------Sierralta----------------- -------Louza-----------------Koné------- --Asprilla--------Bayo--------Martins-- Bench: Hamer, Pollock, Ngakia, Lewis, Livermore, Chakvetadze, Sema, Kalu, Healey
Doing this without looking at any others for a bit of fun. Bachmann Ngakia Porteous Hoedt Lewis Sierralta Louza Dele-Bashiru Sema Bayo Martins Subs: Hamer Pollock Andrews Livermore Kayembe Kone Asprilla Chak Healey 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.
