kurtsimonw Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Agree with everything Dimitri, including the subs. Would start Delph over Sidwell though, I'm sure he'll be full of confidence after his performance agaist Fiorentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Smack Reo in for Delph! Delph is still learning defensively and is liable to get beat a few times, he needs protection from someone such as NRC, and then let Delph drive forward and create. I don't trust Petrov as the holding midfielder in a 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies4England Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I thought Heskey wasn't suspended? :s My team would be: GK: Friedel DR: Beye DL: Shorey DC: Davies DC: Cuellar RM: Milner LM: Young CM: NRC CM: Delph ST: Gabby ST: Carew Subs: Guzan, Albrighton, Sidwell, Heskey, Clark, Gardner, Delfouneso As poor as Carew has been, I do feel v a team like Wigan we need someone who can put it in the back of the net like he did towards the end of last season. Last thing we need is Gabby and Heskey being on the end of the chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing we need is Gabby and Heskey being on the end of the chances. That was the problem last season! We played the same using Heskey as we do with Carew, there completly different players, Fiorentina was the perfect example, the wingers coming off their line and getting involved beside Heskey and moving around, that's how you utilize Heskey and we played very well as a team so Heskey won't be on the chances as such, it will me Milner, Young, Gabby, and a midfielder breaking from midfield. We've always struggled against Wigan at home usually as they defend the high ball well and are physically strong meaning Carew can sometimes struggle, so if we look to play through them more like we did with Fiorentina we might have some joy and create better opportunities than headed opportunities all the time. Obviously if it's not working we can make changed on 45 or 60 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTransferWindow Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Why are people leaving Petrov out? He was back in training on Thursday and if you believe Sidwell he'll be named the captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancharlie Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i expect (if heskey is suspended and petrov unfit) friedel young - cuellar - davies - shorey young - NRC - Sidwell - Milner Carew - Aggy think he'll pick something like this however he could throw beye at RB and move Luke across to LB. Don't think he'll play Delph but will be pleased if proved wrong! Obviously if Petrov available swap for sidders and heskey would be on the bench/maybe starting is a toughie! Aggy normally causes them problems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pretty much had a few chances in the first half and then we brought Carew on 65 minutes. This led to the countless chances of the line and Wigan camped in their own half. Saying that I expect Martinez to come and attack us so it may favour our approach. I'd rather us play Heskey in an away game where he'll work for every ball rather then Carew who can stroll about.

darthdc Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Would be nice to have a different ref - that word removed Rob Styles did this fixture both last season and the one prior. Apart from a win at the Hawthorns (05/06), we've never won a match involving him. Like to see his days as a ref ended. Alas, a gun is required as the FA wont do the right thing.

West Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Luke Young and Bouma seem to have made miraculous recoveries going by that line up? Apart from that, Delph for Sidwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 It will be: ----------------------Friedel----------------------- Beye------Cuellar-----------Distin-------Shorey Milner----Reo-Coker-----Sneijder-------Young -----------Agbonlahor----Carew----------------- subs- Guzan, Davies, Sidwell, Heskey, Delph, Albrighton, Gardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Hierro Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Pretty certain it will be this one: --------------Friedel------------------ Beye - Cuellar - Davies - Shorey (Warnock if he signs) Milner - Reo-Coker - Petrov (Delph if Petrov is out) - Young -------Carew - Agbonlahor---------- Distin will be on the bench even if he signs in time imo. And I reckon Heskey's suspended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
