PompeyVillan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I've seen in the matchday thread that we fielded today the youngest first 11 in PL history? Is this correct? If so it's a fascinating stat. The team will certainly get better with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Am I right in thinking the only players in our starting 11 today over 23 were Guzan (27) and Holman (28) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That's what I heard too. I also understand we haven't used an outfield player in his thirties all season and we are the only club in the division not to have done so. How many thirtysomethings do we even have? Shay Given (36) Dunne & Stan (both 33) and Warnock (31) are all I can think of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepDish Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That's probably why he said outfield player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
