Match Day Thread TeamWes Vs TeamRuss

I'd pasted the image of the two squads for Monday - but forgot to hit the 'post' button.
Woodbine consequently beat me to it. Old, confused, deranged.....delete as appropriate.

 

I stand by it.

It was a good .

 

Ha ha that's a decent forward line for Russ. Think he could have shared the wealth there

 

Over 20k at Stadium M K yesterday - including 5000+ from Mansfield.
Congrats to Russ Martin and his Dons boys.

 

I wonder if Jan Molby is available?

 

I’m the City. Feels like a normal home game. Anyone seen what kind of attendance is expected? Have they closed an tiers like a Cup game? Or if the whole stadium open?

 

I was going to say I fancy Team Wes - way more creativity in midfield! Although I suppose that might be superfluous given the lack of defensive options for both sides.

Pinto Doherty Nelson Bennett as a back 4 only have Elliott Ward as cover

Rusty, Drury, Whittaker, Whitbread only have Lappin and I think Francomb as defensive cover!

 

Looks like top tiers are closed today.

 

1-0 team Wes. Wes assist, Hucks goal. All Wes to start.

 

2-0 Wes. Hucks again.

Can’t cope with Wes, he is still different class.

 

3-0 Wes. Pilks.

This is feeling a bit uncomfortable.

 

3-1 Grant Holt.

 

4-1 Pilks again.

This Ref is giving poor old Russ nothing!!

 

5-1 Wes. What a goal from the magician.

 

With Wes, Hucks and Howson in the same team Russ had no chance of winning

 

Also Pilks and Pinto. The contrast in pace is vast. Team Russ is so slow in comparison.

Not a 5-1 half. After the first 10 of all Wes, the rest of the half was pretty even. Team Russ should have scored more.

Thought the first 2 Team Wes goals were offside, thought was a clear pen on Team Russ not given, and then no free kick given to team russ, they broke after that and scored.

Russ and Grant Holt won’t be happy!

 

Both of the Holts aren't in the best of shapes either lol. They should have played Brads instead of Gary Holt, but I guess it's just a friendly charity game.

 

When it was said McNamee has come on, I thought “ah, some pace!”

He can barely walk and looking pretty chunky!

 

McNamee is actually doing well.
