Thanks again RTB for your outstanding MDT's,<applause> you really are the No1. I like your team , altho., I.would prefer a 3/5/2
Meph / Big Dan / O/9 .
Hume / Little Dan / Elf / Jobe / Cirkin .
Mayenda / Isidor .
Then unlesh Mundle and Rigg ,second half . no messing about with Roberts , extra time or penalties OaU to the stars.
 
Hasn't paddy got a knock?

can see him being on the benchm RLB doesnt seem to the type to risk a players fitness
 
Pitch is the same size as the SoL And Roberts was actually quite effective when we beat SU at home.

Main thing is their centre-backs were not at all happy with the speed of Mayenda and Isidor. So move the ball quickly, or even long balls over the top.
Just checked pitch sizes, and pleased to see you are correct marra :emoticon-0148-yes:

Was wondering how quick their defence is... good to hear that as well.
 
At the SoL, high ball, SU centre back panicked and miscued, Mayenda already at full speed (reckon he can see 5s into the future) took the ball leaving them behind and stuck it in the net

IIRC Sheff Utd gave away a penalty when Watson ran past them and had a man sent off when Isidor did the same on the halfway line ...

... we have pace so let's use it.
 
Question for other overseas supporters: Any idea of which "official" channels are showing the final in your area?
It's not on SAFsee, and the EFL iFollow thinks it's on BEIN sports in France, but the BEIN site doesn't list the game.
I think it's on CBSsports, via Paramount+ in the USA.
would just like a reliable link for the game.
