Villarocker Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Right folks. I have been giving some thought to how many of MON's apparent "Best XI" will start against the Hammer's on the first day of the season. Will Milner start if he is still here? Would MON make him run the gauntlet with the possibility of abuse from the fans? Will MON start one or more of our emerging younger players such as Albrighton or Delfouneso? Will a new signing or two make it in time for the first game? The question is, how many of last season's usual suspects will start the first game, given the squad we currently have? Best Eleven: Friedel, Cuellar, Warnock, Collins, Dunne, Young, Downing, Milner, Petrov, Agbonlahor, Carew. For the record, I have gone for 10 with Milner being the player not on show.

Justified Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 He will go with his strongest XI at that time. why wouldn't he ? I'm not sure Milner will get boo'd. I personally don't think he has done much wrong. It's a shit storm blown up by the media and if we boo our own players in the opening game we are effectively helping our opposition to get a result. I will be very disappointed in our fans if we boo a player that looks set to play an entire season for us. The time to boo a leaving player is when they are actually in a different shirt.

Nigel Posted July 30, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have gone with 10 from that list as I dont think JM will be here. Touch wood everyone else will be fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The way MON's been going on about the Wigan result last season (and bearing in mind the Spammers nearly took maximum points off us) I can't see anything other than our strongest side being fielded.

JPAngel Posted July 30, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2010 've gone for ten because I think there will be at least 2 players signed that will go straight into the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 9 or 10. Unsure, if there is no injuries, I think we might see JC, Milner not there, Carew bench, Milner gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
