Holloway GONE!

[Thracian]

Not at all. I've said that the teams that do well in the championship in the main tend to be more experienced and stronger physically. Being experienced and/or strong doesn't automatically qualify you as being the right player, to intimate that as being my argument is slightly disingenuous.

I have shown you examples of the three teams that were promoted along with your preferred team for Stoke as appears in the relevant thread.

The teams that got promoted had a distinctly higher average age than the one you would have selected for the Stoke game.

Where we differ is that I think experience has a major factor in getting promoted from the championship whereas, you cannot deny that you blow the trumpet of the younger players (ooo err).

Your chosen midfield with an average age of just over 20 would in my opinion have been outplayed and out muscled by all of the other three teams and many many more in the division.

We'll never know but I believe my midfield would have scored/created some goals and for all the strength and experience favoured by Holloway we were relegated because we didn't score enough goals.

And in the last game at Stoke we rarely even tried to score with any conviction.

And a midfield containing Oakley and Clemence wouldn't be?

Tell me where I said that Mr Brave.

You're the one trying to play the "experience" card to score cheap points.

As I've shown, it doesn't always work.

[Daggers]

Woohoo! The proof.

Lock an infinite number of organ grinder's monkeys in a room for an infinite time and one will produce an insult of debilitating lameness.

Sorry, I missed that.

Where did you show me again? You see, I thought that you'd said the following on the Stoke match;

Sorry, but that team would be hammered.

Any side travelling to Stoke needs to be physically competitive and that line-up has far too many lightweights. It would be ripped to shreds at every set piece.

Henderson

J Chambers McAuley Worley Mattock

Bell N'Gotty Hendrie Hayles

Hume Howard

That Mr Brave seems like quite an experienced and physically strong midfield.

What was your point again?

[Daggers]

*boosh*

Crap - as if there weren't enough reasons for the wife to give me one in the neck tomorrow...now the cat is really out the bag.

Should've stuck with Worthington, really.

Promotions from Championship:

Worthington: 1 (as champions)

Allen: 0

That's where it went wrong... right there.
