Not sure if there's actually a thread- if there is I didn't see it- but anyway, what line up are we expecting today? The various midfield absences make it quite a tricky one to call, particularly when there are the likes of amoo belaid and akpan that NP will want another look at. I'm having a guess at; Duke Chester Dawson Gerrard Hobbs Harper Akpan / Cairney (is koren still out by the way) Amoo Garcia Simpson / McLean Fryatt
i hope its duke solano-- hobbs-- chester-- dawson garcia-- akpan-- cairney/belaid -- amoo fryatt -- simpson might look a bit light in midfield, but who cares, lets finish with a 5-5 draw id like to see how a hobbs and chester partnership does, in case gerrard isnt here next year..
I expect it to be Duke Chester -- Hobbs -- Gerrard -- Dawson Garcia -- Akpan -- Harper -- Koren Fryatt -- Simpson
Quite like olm's midfield selection actually, should be a decent balance there depending on how much width we play with. Of all midfield options I'd imagine harper is the only one almost guaranteed a start today
I'd go for: Duke Chester -- Hobbs -- Gerrard -- Dawson -------------- Harper ---------------- Garcia --------Akpan-----------Amoo-- -------Fryatt---------Simpson---------
I've not seen Barmby mentioned on any of the pre match reports, he was supposed to be back for today's game.
surely belaid, akpan & amoo all have to start or at least get 45mins to show what they can do. as it seems that we've got no chance of signing gerrard id like to see chester & hobbs together. _________Duke Solano Hobbs Chester Dawson Garcia Belaid Akpan Amoo _____Fryatt Simpson
