Bert Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 My selction would be: Douglas Maybury (rb) Gerrbrand (cb) McCarthy (cb) Sheehan (lb) Sylla (rm) Williams (cm) Gudjonsson (cm) Hamill (lm) MDV (cf) Hammond (cf) Subs: henderson dublin kisnorbo tiatto Chambers The only reason that i would leave Stearman and Dublin out is for a worry about tiredness and/or burnout.
Guest Gist Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 hume is cup tied so it will be elvis and mdv Does this mean chambers will be on the bench?
Libertine Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 Henderson Maybury Gerrbrand McCarthy Gilbert Sylla Williams Joey Hamill MDV Elvis

Jimmy Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 Henderson Maybury Gerrbrand Paddy Sheehan Sylla Joey Williams Hammil mdv Elvis subs Douglas Dion Kisnorbo Tiatto Chambers
Jimmy Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 he was a second half sub, thats why he's our youngest ever player

The last thing Dublin would want is to be left out. If he was playing up front i might agree with you but at the back no, i think he's honest enough to tell CL when he needs a rest.
Mark Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 I thought he'd rest De Vries with a game on Saturday but if Hume is suspended it looks like he'll have to play, unless he plays Dublin up front with Hammond <_< He must start Gerrbrand, and I'd play him with Johansson, his experience will help him. Henderson Maybury Gerrbrand Johansson Sheehan Sylla Williams Gudjonsson Hamill Hammond De Vries Subs: Logan, Stearman, Hughes, Chambers, Dublin

As long as Dublin is playing well i don't think he can drop him though.

Gerrbrand is meant to be a calm defender who can pass the ball instead of hoofing it upfield, which is very good to hear.
lush Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 I`d like to see fringe players take part in this game, as we need our best for saturday. That said, sheehan must start to get match fitness for saturday. hendo maybury dublin gerrbrand gilbert hammond joey tiatto sheehan chambo mdv

lush Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 But do we really care about this cup, that we risk injuring key players for a tough game saturday?
Head Honcho Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 But do we really care about this cup, that we risk injuring key players for a tough game saturday? It's a tough call but i just think we should go for a bit of stability, players who played well today shouldn't be dropped, and a good hiding away to Cardiff will do us no good.
lush Posted 23 October 2005 Posted 23 October 2005 Yes agreed. Putting it another way, will cardiff be at full strength? They might think its only Leicester...
supedaj Posted 24 October 2005 Posted 24 October 2005 I believe Levein will be resting both Dublin and MDV for the Cardiff match - cant imagine who he'll play instead of them two, especially for MDV if Hume is cuptied. Gerrbrand and McCarthy at cb and Sheehan at left would be my choice, dropping nils to the bench. Chambo on instead of MDV aswell... Also, Smith could be back for us? Does Wenger see him playing for Arsenal at some stage this season in the Carling Cup? Or has he already played for them and would be cuptied? lush, you seem to forget that 'this cup' which we shouldnt really care about will bring much needed confidence and money should we progress. Always helps .. regardless of what our main priorities are for the season..
Jimmy Posted 24 October 2005 Posted 24 October 2005 arsenal have refused to allow smith to play in the cup

Always helps .. regardless of what our main priorities are for the season.. Arsene Wenger likes to play the kids in the cup so he wont be playing for us. Arsenal havent played in League Cup yet. It's a tough decision. Do you rest players for the league or do you keep the same team for stability and confidence. I would stick with the same team except Kisnorbo. I think he could be good but he's tired i think. Rest him for Saturday.

Always helps .. regardless of what our main priorities are for the season.. 354 city fans turned up for the league game equivalent, which didnt provide much hope and they beat us. That was when cardiff were also rans like us. Now theyve blossomed and were edging to their level. IF we played a full strength team and lost (which is likely) that wouldnt be good for saturday. IF we won, then we`d need a huge club in next round to make it a finacially viable success, but we might get west brom or such like. IF we rest our best, we can play all out attack, with little pressure and the fringe get a run out to express themselves. IF we lose, so what, were expected to. IF we win, then what a boost, because those fringe players have prooved they can handle first teamers places, and that gives craig a seletion headache.
Thracian Posted 24 October 2005 Posted 24 October 2005 Henderson. Maybury, Gerrbrand, McCarthy, Sheehan; Sylla, Kisnorbo, Joey, Tiatto, Hammond, MDV. Subs: Dion, Nils, Hammill, Chambers, Stearman.

If we lose, it doesn't matter what players we play the team will lose confidence. I don't think it matters that the first teamers didn't play, i think that they would still feel down about losing. I don't see how you think we would probably lose. We've won 2 of the last 3. Cardiff aren't a bad team but we should be going out to beat them. Be positive!
