I posted my team on a separate thread - and here it is below:
Assuming our messiah can pull this off I was looking at what we have available and thought the following line up might be worth a spin
Benda
Cabango Bennett Bidwell
Naughton Smith Williams Manning (I am assuming NO Walsh or Grimes AND that Manning is fit)
Lowe Piroe Whittaker (I am not seeing either Dhanda or Cullen looking sharp right now)
Bennett captains the side.
This just shows how wafer thin we are in midfield areas in particular.
I omitted Latibeaudiere just based on my eyeball test of him in the two friendlies that we saw (because I generally like him). He looked way off the pace - and like he had spent the summer in Rossi's. Maybe he was "leggy" from double sessions and has caught up in his 2 week suspension - but he really looked like he was running through treacle in diving boots - otherwise IF fit then agreed he would start for me as well and in Manning's likely absence Bidwell starts at wingback.
One BIG problem is who takes the dead balls - because Dhanda against Southampton was diabolical - couple of over hits missing everyone, couple hitting the first defender, and corners that went straight out before reaching the penalty area.
Maybe we just take everything short and try and play at a high tempo.
