Haha yeah, would be a good test for Bart, but I think I'd rather have the experience of Kelvin for the Leeds game. The pace of Miller and Cox will be a test for whoever we play in defence!
Bart Butterfield - Fonte - Martin - Harding Cork - Schneiderlin Chamberlain - Lallana - De Ridder Lambert Give Kelv 45 mins, and Lallana has a free role.
Davis Butterfield, Fonte, Martin, Harding Cork, Schneiderlin Chamberlain, Guly, Lallana Lambert (Connolly if he's not absolutely 100%) Bart, De Ridder, Barnard, Hammond, Stephens, Ward-Prowse.
Yep, that would be my team for tonight. Adkins said he wants to get partnerships working and if my mind recalls Cork and Schneiderlin haven't played with each other since the Biel game (could be wrong), also gives Fonte and Martin a partnership for tonight. we know De Ridder will play as he mentioned on his twitter that his first game is tonight (whether he starts is another matter). Personally I would like this this team to start tonight but Mr Adkins is the bossman for a reason so I shall wait in anticipation.
