With Etheridge, Richards, Manga, Gunners, Hoilet and 3 Wales U21 players away on International duty. Assuming they've all come back with a clean bill of health, with our 2 new additions on deadline day, the gaffer has got some interesting decisions to make ahead of a difficult looking game at Fulham on Saturday. If memory serves, we didn't have a very good record last season in our first game back following international breaks, hopefully that record will improve somewhat this time around.
Etheridge I believe will play; Richards will likely be on the bench as will Manga. That really leaves Gunnar and Hoilett to assess their fitness and tired ness on return from internertional duty. Bryson for Gunnar maybe, if he is considered match fit and Tomlinson for Hoilett if injured or tired. Can't see too many other changes as the rest of the team should be refreshed after nearly 2 weeks out.Quote:

If everyone is fit I expect a unchanged side.
Fulham I expect to be top 6. Tough game.
Good work, not as bad as I thought then.Quote:

I think Ojo is the only starting Fulham player who has been away on international duty. The reserve goalie has been as well
Hoillet did well previous to the break considering he has had an international football filled summer - it may be that, this early into the season at least, the confidence he's got from international football is a bigger plus than potential draining effect of extra travel and work.
Gunnar is the big one. Our midfield will need to be at its high energy best if we are to get a result.
He also has players that he has brought in who have been resting including Bryson, "the player I wanted most" words to that effect.Quote:

He did say that about Lee Tomlinson but he can't get into side? I think he'll go with same team barring injuries?
