isgill88 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Excuse my shameless ignorance but could anybody clarify what positions the lesser known players in the squad favour? Lichaj RB. Bannan CM, LM, AM. Wieman, ST. Hogg CM Collins ST. Baker CB. Osbourne Preferably Nowhere. Corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Good news indeed. I am happy we have rested a few players as well. Bottom line is we all moaned when O'Neil did not use the squad, and with Davies, Beye, Guzan, Warnock, Reo Coker, Downing, Heskey and now Albrighton, we have enough potentional first teamers out there. I am sure the youngsters will gain a lot from this experience. I would take a scoring draw, but thik we will nick it 2-1 Guzan Beye, Davies, Clark, Warnock Albrighton, Reo Coker, Downing, Bannan Heskey, Weimann Reo Coker to skipper and be MOTM Weimann and Downing to score Hesky to play ok, but miss a sitter People also moaned when he played a similar side against Moscow away. I'd say this was strong now personally. Looking at the team above, only Bannan and Weimann have no experience really. Even Delfouneso might play.

millbrook85 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think we could have gone a bit stronger than that. Oh, well - hopefully it will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Disappointing from the point of view I was hoping to see Delfouneso and Weimann starting. Looking forward to seeing Bannan for a full game. And Lichaj. Wonder how long Albrighton will stay on for and how much damage he'll do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davies4England Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Using team on left from Moscow v today's expected team, in my opinion: Guzan v Guzan (Guzan more experienced.) L Young v Beye (No explanation needed.) Shorey v Warnock (Warnock is miles better then Shorey.) Davies v Davies (Davies more experienced again.) Knight v Clark (Knight was solid most of the time, while Clark is gonna be top class.) Albrighton v Albrighton (More experienced again.) Bannan v Bannan (More experienced again!.) Gardner v Reo-Coker (Obvious.) Salifou v Downing () Sidwell v Heskey (Diff positions but Heskey is better.) Delfouneso v Delfouneso/Weimann (Both more experienced then Nathan was.) The team is miles better now. EDIT: Great now the team is bit different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Guzan Lichaj Beye Davies Warnock Albrighton Coker Hogg Downing Bannan Heskey. Seems to have his heart set on 4-4-1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies4England Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Heskey will prove you all wrong, he's gonna score today. A new manager a new Emile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Certainly is testing the depth of the squad! Let's hope not testing it to destruction... At least Albrighton is playing. If he puts in a performance like Saturday, we are in with a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Thought Clarke would of partnered Davies if i am honest and thought the Foz or Weimann would of started but oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
