Will Nigel use tomorrow's game to check out the lads that might get deals, or has he made up his mind already? I see little point in playing people we know well already, we might as well see what the other lads can do, I'd like to see something like: -----------Duke Chester Hobbs Gerrard Dawson Devitt Akpan Koren Belaid ------Simpson Fryatt I realise Harper will be in the actual team, but that's what I'd rather we went for.
I know Pearson probably wont but i'd go, 4-2-3-1 Duke Chester - Hobbs - Gerrard - Dawson Akpan - Harper Devitt - Belaid -Amoo Fryatt Bench: Oxley, Cooper, Holahan, Cairney, Simpson, Mclean, Koren
If Belaid plays tomorrow will that be his 10 games? I hope we see Akpan at some point. I'm not too fussed about Amoo, can't see us signing him.
No, Belaid hasn't been played enough to trigger his deal, so it won't make any difference if he plays tomorrow. I think we should definitely be having a look at Akpan, but I don't think Amoo is good enough(which is why I put Devitt in ahead of him).
i havent really thought about the team, too busy dreading getting up at 7.30am on a non working saturday.. id like belaid to start tho..
Wouldn't object to mcshane at right back if it was to allow NP look at a centre half pairing of Chester and hobbs. I'm sure that won't be the case but guess it's an option.
Agree with last post, stick Macca on to see how Chester and Hobbs perform as a pair. Would love to see Belaid given another chance, he has quality which Harper and Evans lack. For me Devitt is not good enough, should be given a chance, neither should Amoo, again for me not good enough. Duke ( final appearance for City, thanks and goodbye) Macca(as above) Chester Hobbs Dawson (last regular appearance) McLean Akpan Koren. Belaid Simmo. Fryatt
Duke. Macca, Hobbs, Gerrard, Dawson. (would prefer Macca, Hobbs, Chester, Dawson) Koren, Chester, Akpan, McLean. (would prefer Koren, Akpan, Belaid, Amoo.) Simpson, Fryatt. (would prefer McLean, Fryatt) Last chance for some of the loanees to impress.
