I like DWs team, although suspect Angel woll be on the bench given his lack of match minutes in recent times. I'd also want to find room for Mane, he maybe does need a rest tbf.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Yes, I would be surprised if Angel starts. Mane much more likely to be included despite his obvious tiredness. I would not be surprised to see Hwang or JRB in the 11.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That Bennett tackle .

I've watched that as many times as Ruben's goal against Derby

 

[YoungWolf]

Why do you have to go and remind me of Frank Nouble man. He pitched up at Orient on loan a few years ago and I thought he was haunting me

 

[YoungWolf]

When I was 17 I went with a Chelsea fan to the league cup game under Solbakken. The team man

De vries

Stearman
Margreitter
Batth
Zubar

Peszko
Edwards
Davis
Hunt

Sigurdarson
Boukari

Sackable offence in itself. And Nouble played about half an hour ffs

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think we might have had Hunt the Cunt at LB for at least part of it. Sweet Baby Jesus and the orphans

 

[Jinky]

Missed opportunity if we don’t start with the following defence & mids IMO…

Gomes Bueno Gomes Bueno
Gomes Gomes​

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've also seen us go to Stamford Bridge and play Andrew Surman and Greg Halford as wing backs

We did not win

 

[Jinky]

In all seriousness, I doubt he throws the new lads in straight away (BUT HE SHOULD) - so I’m expecting more of Hwang & co.

I’d go -

Sa
Yerson Santi Krejci Hugo
Joao Angel Andre
Mane
Tolu Armstrong​

Was that the only time mick ever played wing backs? Such a strange time to do it.

Can't recall any other time off hand

Our non-Doyle spending in summer 2009 was very summer 2025

Milijas
Surman
Halford
Zubar
Maierhofer

With Mancienne and Castillo in on loan

(Got Hahnemann on a free too)

I'd actually he happy with that but I think Edwards is too stuck in the 3/5 atb scene, currently at least.

It's the kind of game where I don't mind 3 CHs too much

Brentford/Forest/Bournemouth at home, no ta

Rocked up at the Spennymoor vs Telford game last night against our 18-year-old loanee Josh Gracey. He didn't score.

It's stuff like this that gets me up in the morning to run the Loan Watch Thread.

Holy shit was that who it was lumbering around for Spennymoor when I went to watch Leamington this season?

Nah, he's only just gone there.

Gateshead told him last week he could be on the coaching staff (after 3 goals in 30 games) but they didn't want him playing any more.

Honestly one of those footballers where I will never understand how he passed a trial anywhere. And yet he's been on the books of three different Premier League clubs.

5-0 wasn't it? And I think the only full 90' Boukari ever got.

Georg should have a "Gets Better as He Doesn't Play" award named after him.

6! Was a painful watch. Zeli Ismail played about 10 minutes too
