When the U23s are on YouTube, I try to watch them. Valerie would need to be more aware of players, as he seems, IMO, to get caught on the ball fairly often. Would definitely let Obafemi start. Davis captain?
Hughes said he was in training at the end of last week, Friday I think, but that he's probably still a week away from being able to play.
No one would be surprised if we lost to City, but a win v Leicester could improve confidence. Not that the Everton win did much
Technically, that was a draw and a win on penalties. Oh, and we let a lead slip. Shocker. Not really a confidence booster.
Yep, there's always a chance that a club like ours could make Wembley again and who knows we might get a decent lino the next time.
Very different City side, but I'd fancy their u18s to beat us at the moment. Can also see Hughes putting out a completely different side vs Leicester to try and save his job in the PL by trying to get something against Utd. I suppose in situations like this our very bloated squad full of average is actually a blessing if you want to progress in the cups as a completely changed XI from the Fulham game won't actually be too different in terms of quality
Orwell's vision of the future was a boot stamping on a face forever. Ours is a Hoedt trying to keep the ball in on the byline, leading to conceding a goal. Forever.
I don’t know why we haven’t gone back to playing five defenders. We did quite well with the extra defender covering mistakes.
Football. Wigan beat City in a cup game We beat Wigan in a cup game We’d beat City in a cup game. That’s how it’s works isn’t it?
I remember when our squad was thin but our first team had quality; clyne, shaw, fonte, Schneider, lallana, Ricky, j-rod. Now as above we don’t have any standout players. Armstrong should start he needs a run, apart from that I don’t care who plays.
