Well? What do we do. Play the team that shamed us and hope they redeem themsen? Pick a completely different team and tell them they'll start Saturday if they do well? Consign Charlton to the bin and move on? It was a blip and lets just forget it? I mean it was quite hot... Some may get out of jail as the Under 21's have a game tomorrow so Linehan and Dixon may play in that. But we should blood them. Luer should deffo start. Diame's in but I'll be well pissed off if he isnt fit again. Jakupovic Taylor Bruce Maguire Townsend Aluko DIAME Dixon Jahraldo-Martin Luer Hernandez This team is probably bollocks Show some spirit fight and urgency and its a 2-0 win
The Under 21's play tomorrow. Its 4 quid for Season pass holders now. I'm off to that too. Going to be good with all these games. Just thought I'd post this on here from the Guardian, made me laugh. PR setback of the week Romania: CSMS Iasi’s board handing executive chairman Florin Prunea a written warning after he told local people to value their club more. “People from Iasi need to wise up… This team brings excitement to their lives. Apart from rapes, nothing much happens round here.” Iasi’s board said “any future defamations” would bring “a more stringent response”; Prunea apologised for “any offence”.
Given that we only made 2-3 changes for Accrington, I would think that's the plan for Rochdale too. Would be good to give Luer a start. He's a prospect. Would be good to melt Huddlestone down for glue. But you can't have everything.
I'd want to see Taylor, Maguire, Dixon, CJM, Hernandez and Luer get starts. Plus Diame for however long he can manage.
I'd like to see Bruce play McGregor again as he had a good game on Saturday (in that he made a great save and didn't drop any balls!) and needs to rebuild his confidence. So I would start with: McGregor Taylor Maguire Bruce Robertson Elmo Diame Hayden Clucas Hernandez Luer
I was surprised to read in the Fulham program that Huddlestone used to be a 400 metre runner. Must have been a slow one.
Fair does with that line up, though I would give Odebajo a go at right-wing (his more natural position) and play Maguire with Davies (should be a better combination of pace/strength and more likely option for league games). If Diame can't start, then give Dixon or Meyler the shirt
I would start anyone over Jak, I still have no idea why he's still here, after that Sheffield We'd game I'd have got rid! Me too, but I used to walk it, literally walk it!
He's just not quick over ten yards but I can imagine he could build up a bit of speed over a longer distance, a bit like a train setting off. I think it was Jagielka? last year that was found to be the Prems quickest player when tested so I'm never surprised
