toontownman Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Guarenteed shit performance and loss. Looking forward to it though. Hoping to see Abeid, Ubertan, Vukic, Marveaux, Ferguson, Ba and Besty and Gosling for a good proportion of 90mins. Wouldnt rule out a Sammyobi appearance either.

Ashley17 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think ferguson, vuckic, marveaux, williamson and gosling are guaranteed starters if fit. Tiote might get some minutes if they think hes still off the pace, which he clearly is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Im happy as long as Abeid & Vuckic plays the majority of the game and we win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Don't think Abeid will play actually. More likely Smith. Where's Guthrie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Don't think Abeid will play actually. More likely Smith. Where's Guthrie? Still injured I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'd like too see us put a fairly strong team out for this. Use it as a sort of preseason game to help get more fitness in some key players. Krul Simpson Coloccini Williamson R.Taylor Obertan Cabaye Tiote Marveux Vuckic Ba Get it wrapped up in the first half and then bring some squad players on for the first teamers.

alexf Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 personally don't think cabaye or tiote will be required for this and i know you meant in terms of fitness but id rather not risk it in terms of injury and in tiote's case a booking or worse a silly red like at stevenage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 If anyone gets this team selection right in the predictions I'll be impressed. No idea whether he'll go all-out with the effort we've just expended yesterday and with Fulham so close on the horizon after this, but he has stated multiple times that he's looking to go for it in the cups this season. I know we should be looking to win comfortably and keep the cohesion growing, but I won't complain if we see a totally different starting XI to the Mackems match. Scunthorpe are garbage. You can make a pretty good starting XI that way, but I think one of the central defenders will have to start as we still only have 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Christ. Just realised this is on while I'm flying across the pond. p*ss off. I hope we play Vuckic. Hopefully behind Ba. Or Ameobi as i would like to see Ba play against Fulham from start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wally_McFool Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Would definitely play Tiote for at least an hour cos the lad is still a bit off the pace due to missing most of the pre-season.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The last time we played them at their ground they beat us 2 - 1. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8304298.stm Our team that day was: - 01 Harper 03 Jose Enrique 12 Simpson 13 Khizanishvili 16 Taylor 04 Nolan 08 Guthrie (Ranger 86) 18 Gutierrez 20 Geremi (Harewood 61) 17 Smith 24 Carroll I'd put out a strong team. The team are still gelling so they need the game time. I'd be happy for Vuckic, Ferguson and Sam Ameobi to get some game time if things are going well though.

We struggled in the centre of defence in that game (Simpson and Khizanishvili) because of injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Fancy us to nick it. We're better than then and they're not since their relegation IIRC. EDIT: Found Rich's post from earlier: Can't see us getting passed them, decent team tbf. Different team to the one that beat us, completely different. Only Sam Togwell is left from the starting XI of that night. Each club has been on completely opposite trajectories since that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
