    The starting 11 against Ipswich.

    Kasper Schmeichel - 26
    Ritchie De Laet - 24
    Wes Morgan - 29
    Michael Keane - 20
    Paul Koncheskey - 31
    Ben Marshall - 21
    Andy King - 24
    Danny Drinkwater - 22
    Anthony Knockaert - 21
    Chris Wood - 21
    Harry Kane - 19



    Average age = 23.11.

    Average age of the midfield/strikers is only 21.33.

    Do we need to bring in some experienced players on loan? Just to help us over the line.

    We all think Konchesky is old and he's only 31 <laugh>

    He seems to have been around for ever. I think we need to experience in midfield especially for away games

    We do have Nuge up front. I think he'll be back in when fit. Midfield - possibly.

    Nope, we have enough leadership i think. People like DD are young but leaders.

    They're all older than me at least :) Not like Raheem Sterling who's the same age as my little sister, which is thoroughly depressing.
    [Actually, having checked, Kane is a bit younger than me]

    Our average player age was about the same when Pearson was in charge, I think he must like young boys. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Always said that we need an experienced head in the middle - expecially in games like Ipswich where things aren't going our way ant the players are getting frustrated.

    Was hoping that it could be Wellens but he looks to be marginalised.

    The starting XI on Saturday averaged out at 25.9 and I'd expect that to be the same for pretty much every game, it might go to 26.45 with Faye in for Bruce, but that would be the highest.
