OLLIE KEARNS Even excluding last year we rarely have 50% of possession in a game
You haven't taken much notice of our possession stats this season then?

SouthSmallRoyal I'd like it to be 4-2-3-1 like this...
McCarthy
Bridge, Pearce, Morro, gunter
Williams, Karacan
Drenthe, Guthrie, McCleary
ALF
Subs: Feds, Kelly, Obita, HRK, Pog, Ugwu, McAnuff
Probably too many wingers on the bench and I'd like to see an U21 like Griffin, Taylor or Samuel on the bench if there are any injuries, but who knows with NA and his team selection

In football terms, the 30-year-old[Kelly] was also pleased to get his first 90 minutes of the season in the international challenge match - something which could vital for the Royals with Wayne Bridge currently sidelined with a knee injury.

loyalroyal4life We can't score due to lack of service. I would rather give Pog a start over Blackman, need to go 2 upfront

I think we have to start Pog as we need to get value from him and ALF is frankly better off the bench.
I would bring Bridge back if he is fit but that sounds doubtful.

Competitive games this season:
ALF
Starting 4, goals 3, assists 1
Sub appearances 2, goals 0, assists 0
I think he's doing fine from the first 11.

Fair point Ian. But I really meant that ALF was the best we have at coming off the bench and changing a game - which he has done very effectively for the last two seasons. Whereas Pog and Blackman have so far shown no ability to come off the bench and change a game. So IMO it would be better to encourage Pog to play 60 minutes to tire out the defence and then bring on ALF with a remit to change the game if we need to. I think ALF could score 20 off the bench this season but we need other strikers to chip in. At least Pog has shown in patches last season that he can score goals, whereas Blackman has shown nothing yet to that effect. So for me Pog has to start from now on - or at least until we have better striking options available.
