Team / News vs Donny

[Jason123]

Right Guys

A little early but i think we should play

Lonergan
Connolly
O'Dea
Lees
White
Snods
Clayton
Howson
Pugh
Becchio
McCormack

I think its about time we dropped Keogh and stuck Becchio back in. Sharp is now fit so we may see a revival at Donny hopefully not at our expense

But Becchio is still struggling for match fitness

Have you been to the last three home games Jason ?

Becchio on around the 60 minute mark for me for the next few games until he recovers his fitness

I would really like to see Forsell (sp?) given a full 90 minutes. His step over and shot against pompey looked genuine class!

I agree with your gk, defense, midfield and 4-4-2 formation. Not sure which strikers to use though to be honest :/
Whichever players play best together i guess, and it seems that Larry thinks the McCormack / Keogh combo is most effective. With that said, i wasnt very impressed with Keogh in the last match. Maybe its time for Forssell to start?
My subs bench would include:
Rachubka
Kisnorbo
Nunez
Vayrynen
Becchio / Forssell
Thats a Premier League quality bench!

[joelufc20]

Same as pompy but maybe forsell instead of keogh

[Charity Shield 69]

Should be a very interesting fixture. Am I right in saying that Donny have enjoyed an upturn since parting ways with O'Driscoll? I'd expect minimal changes to lineup barring training ground or international injuries. Perhaps Becchio in for Keogh.
It's likely this match will be live in Australia on Saturday morning (15/10) so will get to see it.
I may also have another pair of eyes watching for me live in Doncaster - my lad is currently playing hockey with Donny in Northern Conference of English League. It seems his coach may have access to a corporate box and therefore might get invited along. He is certainly hoping - it would be his first attendance at a UK game.
It's high time we break the drought of away league wins.

Cheers,

Stretching it a bit there, mate? Chubby has played there (?), but is now No2 at ER, Nunez unproven at that level, the Finn is an international, but you reckon would have been snapped up by a Prem team if that good (?), Forssell is proven there (but how long ago?) and Paddy...????

I'll give you Luci

I'll take that bench over any bench we had last season.

[1964white]

Same team as v Pompey

Donny news

Won 2 drawn 1 under Dean Saunders

If you thought we had a tough start with fixtures, check out Donny's start

Sharp & Hayter are fit again after suffering bad injuries on the first day of the season at Brighton

Saunders has signed Kirkland, llunga & Chimbonda in the last week or so !

Donny game won't be easy contrary to what most think on here

A return to conceding goals again a draw 2-2 i reckon

[Twiggster]

Same as pompy but maybe forsell instead of keogh

Agree on that. Mikael is a natural goal scorer and can hold up the ball well.
I'd like to see Vayrynen get a start, with Howson off the bench if necessary. Mika and Clayton in CM would be awesome.

He (Vayrynen) did really well I thought against Sweden recently.

I see no reason why Jonny should be dropped

[Twiggster]

I see no Jonny?

FYP!

[Toby]

Win and we could go 5th! with a game in hand!

By Tuesday we could be within 2 points of southampton if all goes well.

And by Saturday we could be top :0

Looking good! would like to see Mika.

[The Subhuman]

I would really like to see Forsell (sp?) given a full 90 minutes. His step over and shot against pompey looked genuine class!

but how do you drop the leagues leading scorer?

[JonTheBassist]

I see no reason why Jonny should be dropped

He wont be! Although i would also like to see Vayrynen and Forssell get a start. I think Forssell could easily replace Keogh. But who would you drop in midfield to let Mika come in??? you cant really drop Howson or Clayton right now... Snoddy seems to be coming back into form and Pugh has done brilliantly since rejoining. Its a toughie! I'd say - keep the same starting 11 untill someone gets injured or looses form... Having Vayrynen, Forssell/Becchio and Nunez on the bench will scare the s**t outta most teams in this league.

Last time i checked, Keogh only netted once this season faaip
