Cajun Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 We will be playing a fairly poor/inexperienced side. Fine by me, at least Pardew has let the fans know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 So there will be a few debuts there." Any guesses who they'll be? We've used all of our players already bar the players who have only played in the reserves/u-19's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I think he's made the right call here, we have so many injuries at the moment and can't really risk any more.... I just wish we didn't f*ck up against Maritimo and Brugges so we didn't have to win to finish top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Elliot Newton Tavernier Perch Ferguson Bigirimana Abeid Obertan Amalfitano Sa. Ameobi Sh. Ameobi That'll do pig - provided Ba, Tiote and Santon are okay for Fulham. If not then you'd obviously rest Shola, Bigi and Perch too. Newton at RB is a bit of a stab in the dark as it's not his natural position, but he has played there a bit for the reserves/U21's this season and out of the remaining players he was the closest to the first team squad at the end of last season. Not sure if Streete is fit enough to start after just returning to training today, but he'd be another one in contention normally. Steven Logan has also played a fair bit at fullback and has a squad number as well as the other two. There's also Satka (CB), who was pulled from the reserve game on Sunday for whatever reason. If Obertan still isn't back then Ranger could come in alongside Shola in a very direct 4-4-2 with Amalfitano and Sammy wide. If Obertan does make it Pardew might just fancy starting Ranger ahead of Shola anyway, to keep the big fella fit for some games he could be a useful option from the bench in. Should be interesting whatever happens, although a win would seem unlikely. Think we'll see Maddison, Riley, Moyo and others on the bench too.

Kevo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Sold 1,200 tickets apparently, I'm one of those. Match will be the worst part as usual for away games so not too fussed. However if the players show no effort and determination ill be pissed off. Pardew better clap us aswell and make the players come over, that's all I want.. Effort determination and respect for the following fans. Please thanks and goodnight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'd still stick Marveaux in there - he needs games if he's going to keep last night's form going. We can't just leave him out because he's made of matchsticks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Play the strongest XI. I know it's because you're going but to be fair i think we should have either treated it as an U21 competition or played our strongest team in it everytime as part of our problems have been lack of continuity of players in the team and those coming in for this and then being left out for the PL being demotivated as no matter how well they'd done they knew they'd be out at the weekend.

We can't just leave him out because he's made of matchsticks I would usually agree but without Cabaye we have absolutely no one else to play the role he played last night.... I'd keep him for the weekend, if we had more attacking midfielders capable of playing that role in front of Tiote and Anita then yeah but we don't.

Cajun Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I would play something like this (if the players are fit). Elliot/Harper Tavernier Perch Williamson Ferguson Obertan Marveaux Bigi Amalfitano Sammy Cisse Lightweight but attacking and quick, plus it would mix up the players in need of confidence/getting fit and some of the fringe players.
