ohmelads Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 No idea on the formation or lineup, which is maybe a good thing. Bolton will be really up for this, but I reckon Sam might try and use that against them. It's the start of the season, they're at home, and the whole stadium will be roaring them on to get one over on Sam Allardyce. It might leave them vulnerable on the counter, with Martins trying to spring the offside trap. Viduka looked a bit off the pace against Sampdoria but his hold up play would be very useful here. I just don't see Smith and Martins having the same effect on their own, I reckon he may try and get an hour out of Viduka and bring Shola on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 All that seems bad for Lee, seems like everything's unsettled, he's been in charge what, 1 or 2 games, and already players are doubting his credentials, and he's even less focused on playing football and instead playing physical than Sam was? I wouldn't have a lot of confidence if I was a Bolton fan for the upcoming season. I still think they'll give us a tough game though because of the situation.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I don't think Viduka will start. Didn't look anywhere near being match-fit on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I hope he starts Martins, think he could destroy Bolton with his pace! Carr................................Tayls...............................Roz...................................Zog Nobby.........................Butt..................................Geremi..................................Milner ...............................................Smith................................................................... ..............................................................Martins.................................................... But there again i know Big Sam will be wary of Boltons height and that team is not the tallest, so dont be surprised to see Ameobi or Viduka start, with Ramage at LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I don't think Viduka will start. Didn't look anywhere near being match-fit on Sunday. Isn't he the most well prepared out of the team?, played in the Asia cup, and it was proper competition not half hearted pre-seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well maybe he was knackered, I don't know. Just didn't look upto speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Given Carr Taylor Rozehnal N'Zogbia Geremi Butt Smith Solano Milner Viduka Only issues I can see are Given's fitness, the choice at left-back and whether Martins/Solano starts on the right. I'd imagine Nobby will start, with Oba coming on as an "impact" sub if things aren't going well or if the Peruvian doesn't have a great game. Think we'll be going there to battle, rather than play good football, but there should still be enough in that team to get a draw or a sneaky win. If that is the team I'd expect the bench to be something like: Harper, Ramage, Luque, Martins and Ameobi, which looks lopsided but isn't too bad when you consider there are 6 midfielders in the starting line-up already. Its probably not what I would like to see, but it's what I think will happen if there's no injury stuff between now and Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
