Very hard game for us tommorow, good win against the hammers for them. They'll be coming here full of confidence. We have to win this one to keep up with the top 4. Barmby's first draw maybe?? Be very interesting to see the starting 11, think we might see Barmby freshen things up a bit. Basso Rosie Hobbs Chester Dawson McKenna Evans Stewart Koren Brady Fryatt
-------------Basso------------ Rosenior Chester Hobbs Dawson --------McKenna Evans-------- Stewart-----Koren------Garcia- ------------Mclean------------
It is time to rest Stewart anyway,he's not impressed at all in the last two games and he's been out injured for a long time. Although if Nick does rest him the rumours will flow of course !
As OLM has said, Brady isn't anywhere near the first team at the moment and needs to prove himself in training after what happened at Boro. I expect we'll go with: -------------Basso------------ Rosenior Chester Hobbs Dawson --------McKenna Evans-------- McLean-----Koren------Stewart ------------Fryatt------------ Basso will come in for Gulasci after his shocker at Burnley. Rosenior of course will come back in for McShane. We may see Dudgeon at left back is Dawson isn't fit and Garcia come in for Stewart if he needs a rest.
I'd put Dudgeon in for Dawson, not because he's done anything wrong, but because Dawson has played a lot f games in a short period and I'd like Dudgeon to get another chance to show we he can do. Other than that, I'd go for Proud's team.
Can we afford to rest Stewart though? Understand the thinking behind the Dawson/Dudgeon selections, but with Basso in goal we will be able to rest the experience of Dawson now that Gulacsi is out. I hope that Stewarts form is down to him being out for that period of time and not due to him being unsettled by the c u n t s at Leicester.
I'd go for --------------- Basso --------------- -- Rosenoir Chester Hobbs Dawson --------- Mc Kenna Evans ---------- Stewart ---- Koren ----- Garcia ------------- Fryatt --------------- Think Nick will go for an attacking approach, with us winning an easy 3-1
I'd drop Dawson. While I have complete confidence in our other players to win the ball fairly at all times, he always seems to be hanging off someone or diving in with stupid tackles, and still being beaten by the winger. Dudgeon was one of my favourite players earlier in the season and he links up better with Stewart too, Dawson gets forward well at times but is completely static at other times whereas Dudgeon always seems to make a run and create space for him. Basso Rosenior Chester Hobbs Dudgeon Evans McKenna Garcia Koren Stewart Fryatt or McLean
Switch the wings then. Recently our wingers have been switching sides frequently throughout games, so I didn't give too much thought to which side is which. I suppose Garc is more suited to the right, though if that was the starting XI, I still wouldn't be surprised is Stewart and Garcia switched a bit.
