Starting XI v Wigan

[leww_rfc]

I'm guessing we'll get a look in on Saturday, should be close to the team for Wigan, against Swansea.

[EarleyRoyal16]

I reckon whoever starts in goal against Swansea will start against Wigan.

[savage 4 england]

McCarthy

Gunter Morrison Hector Obita

Leigertwood Karacan

McAnuff Drenthe Edwards

Pog

[floyd__streete]

Team of kids devoid of injury-prone senior buffoons is going to lose by 4 or 5 at Wigan.

Team of kids devoid of injury-prone senior buffoons is going to lose by 4 or 5 at Wigan.

So that's just the odd goal or two worse than the senior team'd manage then.

[Basingstoke Royal]

A lot of poor performances today. Pearce and Morrison look shite. We desperately need a new centre half.

McCarthy
Cummings
Pearce
Hector
Gunter

Obita
Taylor
Khul
Blackman

Tanner
Pog

[SCIAG]

Revised side:

McCarthy; Gunter, Pearce, Hector, Obita; Edwards, Kuhl, Akpan/Tshibola, Blackman; Taylor; Pogrebnyak
Subs: Feds, Morrison, Kelly/Cummings, Tshibola/Akpan, Tanner, HRK/Stacey, Samuel

[LoyalRoyal22]

Want to see Hector come in for Morrison in defence. Morrison really has gone backwards. And Federici in for McCarthy. After that I'm easy, options limited.

[P!ssed Off]

Let the 'established' 1st teamers play against Wigan.
Let the youth play on Tuesday against Newport.

Evaluate any necessary changes based on these respective performances.

To be honest, that's a pretty good idea.

I think by the end of the season, we'll see Hector firmly ensconced in the defence. And at least one of Tshibola or Kuhl will have got a dozen appearances. Taylor or Edwards probably double that.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Let the 'established' 1st teamers play against Wigan.
Let the youth play on Tuesday against Newport.

Evaluate any necessary changes based on these respective performances.

Good call.

[yappy]

Problem with that being we don't really have 11 fit established players to make a team. Even today's team comprised of Edwards and Taylor, who is relatively unestablished. Can't say I fancy our chances for next week.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Ok, so a realistic XI is looking like this:

McCarthy

Gunter
Morrison
Pearce
Obita

Taylor
Clayton
Hector

Blackman
Pogtebnialq
Tanner

[Victor Meldrew]

I notice that some other clubs have signed players on loan for just a month from the start of the season presumably to cover injuries.
This is what the loan system was meant to be all about so , with so many midfielders/ wingers/strikers unfit, maybe we will do something this week until the likes of Guthrie, Jem, Williams and McCleary are ready-or maybe we won't.

I think you are right. Or maybe not.

When you say other clubs, do you mean Blackpool (with their 8 senior players), signed a 20 year old defender, on a youth loan? That's the only one I've seen for the Championship.

[watfordroyal]

Having played 70 minutes +, the team that started yesterday will start against Wigan. (with either keeper)
Let's hope they've got the mistakes out of them, be less vulnerable to the counter-attack.
but with no width and no pace, think we'll be impotent up front with our only hope being set pieces.
Fear we'll be bottom with the Pool come Saturday night

Desperately don't want to see Akpan out there, but expect him to start.

Desperately don't want to see Akpan out there, but expect him to start.

I'd like to see this, the squad looks so bare with just 5/6 injuries.

I'd like to see Kuhl, it'd be a miracle if we got anything from Wigan anyway so nothing to lose.
