Just for fun, would both these teams present the binners with problems? Ruddy, Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Olsson, Redmond, Tetty, Howson, Johnson, Jerome. Rudd, Bennett E, Bennett R, Turner, Garrido, O'Neill, Ofoe, Hoolahan, Murphy, Hooper. Unused :- Grabban, Dorrans, Cuellar, Andreu, Lafferty, McGrandles, RvW, Murphy 2, plus the youngsters. I am not suggesting these teams are set in stone. I am sure most, if not all, posters will have different line ups
Nice post, shows the strength of our squad! I'd say the first 11...... However, I personally think we need Hoolahan to start as I think he makes us tick and get the ball down - not sure who I would have him replace though. My personal preference would also be Ryan Bennett at CB alongside Bassong.
You are very confident - both teams only have 10 men on the park! I suspect Ipswich would be thrilled to face either!
I think that you in a majority with the rest of the world except AN and Strachan (Gordon not Michaela!) in wanting Ryben in at CB over Rusty.
Not to mention whoever selected Rusty as one of the two CBs to make the Championship team of the year as well. Oh, and me, I'd have Rusty at CB as well over RyBen personally, I think he's been largely excellent this season whilst for me RyBen still has a lot to prove.
I think that rusty is a good full back but he lacks the presence as a cb in this league and the strength and size in the prem. he is still prone to the odd shocker despite being generally decent albeit against some pretty mediocre opposition. How he got into the team of the season is utterly beyond me.
