Team for next game

[Nick]

After today's performance:


Ethridge

Manga
Morrison
Bamba
Bennett

Gunnarson
Damour

Mendez Laing
Tomlin
Ward

Zohore

[J R Hartley]

I doubt we will play a team that strong against Pompey

[J R Hartley]

Murphy
Coxe
Conolly
Manga
Richards
Damour
Halford
Pilkington
Mendez Laing
Kennedy
Ward

[Penarth Blues]

I hope Murphy plays v Pompey as I think he may well prove to be our better option this season.

I think Connolly is injured so won't play, but otherwise I think JR's team might well be close to the one that starts. Really look forward to seeing Damour and NM-L. For some reason I'm more excited about these two than Tomlin or Ward.

Didn't realise Conolly was injured. Perhaps Halford will play centre half then and Harris in midfield.

Mark Harris I presume as Kads is injured?

[J R Hartley]

Mark Harris I presume as Kads is injured?

Yes. I wouldn't play Kads in midfield.

[ccfc_is_my_life]

Yes. I wouldn't play Kads in midfield.

Wide midfield, he could ;)

We'd be fairly lightweight in midfield in that instance - Mark Harris is more of a "number 10 / attacking midfield off front man" type.

Could go 4-1-4-1 in a full on BANZAI approach.

EDIT:

I'd go same line up as you but rather than starting Mark Harris, I'd start Stuart O'Keefe alongside Damour. Puts him in the shop window.

Given Damour and Mendez-Laing seemed to impress today by all accounts, doubt they;d play the full match ahead of Villa.

[J R Hartley]

Warnock did alude to playing o Keefe in the cup which shows how light we are in that area

Risky though if he gets injured as Warnock clearly wants him off the books

[ccfc_is_my_life]

Risky of any first teamers/first team benchers to play tbh.

I'd love to know why Warnock is so down on O'Keefe. Tough tackler, keeps things simple - seems to me the kind of player he'd want tbh.

He's shit.

He's shit.

But a million times better than you'll ever be when it comes to football.

I have seen the lad deliver some good hard-working committed performance, maybe it's a bit of history from their Palace days ?

Or perhaps with Gunnerson, Ralls and O'keefe its a simple case of 2 into 3 dont go .

Warnock said in his post match interview that Murphy will play on Tuesday and he gave a heavy hint about Mendez-Laing starting as well, while the possibility of O'Keefe and Kennedy (who Warnock says is above Noone in the pecking order now) being in the team was also discussed by our manager.

I highly doubt that.

There is history from Palace apparently-I agree about O'Keefe tidy player but clearly on his way.

I'm pleased about that. It's time for Noone to move on. I thought Preston might have come in for him having lost Aiden McGeady and with Alex Neil their new manager who was apparently tracking Noone while at Norwich.

I'd start with all the subs from yesterday against Portsmouth, plus O'keefe, Kennedy, Declan John and Manga

Murphy

Richards
Halford
Manga
John

Kennedy
Damour
O'keefe
Mendez Laing

Pilkington
Ward

This gives everyone (who isn't injured and likely to feature for us) game time to impress Warnock and also allows the likes of Pilkington, Noone, John and O'keefe etc the opportunity to show what they can do for any team watching them for this transfer window

[the other bob wilson]

I'd like to see Cameron Coxe get a game.

I reckon he will get a game mate.
