SeanO Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Not a bad line up, Still I can't believe it has taken McRelegator this long to drop both of the worst fullbacks in the Premier League. Not to impressed with the bench though with that pair and Heskey on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrim Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I wonder what way the back 4 will line up Lichaj, Collins, Cuellar, Baker or Culleur, Collins, Baker, Lichaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Larsson will do some damage though our central two of Collins and Cuellar should neutralise him.. The rest though are "dangerous" if they have a good day, but if we contain them they won't pose much of a threat I don't think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Good starting lineup: Heskey, Warnock and Hutton benched. Which I agree with. However, Gabby really needs to put a performance in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 if we would have played 2 wingers and 2 strikers for the whole season we would be safe already.... not high up in the table (coz the ginger tosser is still our manager) but safe at least.... the line up is encouraging but i am 99% sure we will still see a depressing performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I just hope our players see this as an attacking line up and play like it. McLeish doesn't do this often so hopefully they spot this as a chance to go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Good selection for a change. Looks straight forward as to how they will lineup so hopefully we won't get surprised with something wacky by the mythical one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'd love our 'kids' to put on a barn stormer today, personally if i'd have been at the club with O'Neill i might be abit perturbed that he kept going out and signing players like Baye/Heskey/Sidwell, when i've not even had a sniff at the first team. I mean, has Bannan/Lichaj and Weimann really contributed any less to the cause than those three senior players he signed? None of our young players are good enough for a side challenging top 4 now so 2/3 years ago I seriously doubt they were good enough to have been thrown in. Two players that fans moaned about not playing we're delfonsou and albrighton and neither have done anything since to show not playing them was wrong. As for today's game I would have liked carruthers to have a start over albrighton. Could the rumours of protests influenced a team with 2 wingers and 2 strikers?

briny_ear Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Well done McLeish for choosing Lichaj over Warnock. Looks well deserved on form, hope the lad does himself justice today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our young players are good enough for a side challenging top 4 now so 2/3 years ago I seriously doubt they were good enough to have been thrown in. I don't buy that argument, he had ample opportunity to play the young players when it was plainly obvious how tired our players were. Why not play them in March? It was clear O'Neill had his favourites and didn't want to play much youth. Whether he thought they were good enough is another question. However, he wouldn't have known that had he not given them games. The contempt he showed for our youth system was evident against CSKA away. We gave them a good game by all accounts. Yet, the league was more important. It backfired royally and was an utter embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switters Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Selection looks fine. Excellent to see Warnock and Hutton benched. The question will be the motivation. Will Gabby show up for the first time in weeks/months? Will Albrighton & Zog perform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Our team is so much better than theirs on paper. It's crazy. Difference is we have a mentality of "don't lose" they have one of "lets win" down to management. 2-1 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Shame not to see Carruthers on the bench. But thats more to do with the importance of the next two games. Win today and the lad might feature again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
