Team vs Leeds

[Fez of Mahrez]

Bit early I know but hopefully this will be one of the most interesting team selections of the past few years. We have a lot of promising youngsters who have yet to start a game for us and this is the time to play them! Better than that, we've actually had an indication that this will be the case.

Walker

Stearman

Kenton

McCarthy

Stewart

Porter

Dawson

Hughes

Tiatto

Connolly

Dodds

I know cases will be made for Sheehan and Wesolowski as well (not forgetting Chambo) but I think the above side has the right balance of experimentation and experience.

[Simon]

I'd like to see the back four they were raving about the possibility of last night on Radio Leicester:

Walker

Maybury Stearman McCarthy Stewart

Porter Dawson Hughes Tiatto

Connolly Moore

Bench: Hirschfeld, Kenton, Wesolowski, Dodds, Dublin

The back four looks a little inexperienced but McCarthy and Stearman is a good combination and worth trying (we have experienced players to help them over the summer) and Kenton will provide a good utility back four man

That would be my team aswell! Perhaps swap Kenton for Sheehan on the bench.

I think Kenton will be (and should be) given the chance to prove himself at centre-back. Stearman won't move to centre-back next season. McCarthy looks to have assured himself of regular first-team football there with his performances recently and you can't have a 21-year-old and a 17-year-old (or however old they are) in central defence together. We all know what Maybury can do, would prefer to see Stearman at right-back again. Shame one of them isn't a left-back cos our back four would be complete then.

Great minds think alike eh?

[breadandcheese]

I thought Williams was superb last night. He worked hard and made things happen. Can't see him being dropped. Also, the Leeds game is Nalis's last in front of the City fans at home. I think he will play as a nice gesture from Levein so that he can say goodbye. Who would begrudge Nalis that final appearance at home, especially after his excellent performance last night?

[Scow]

Walker

Maybury - Kenton - McCarthy - Stewart

Hughes - Nalis - Dawson - Tiatto

Connolly - Moore

It will be interesting to see who he chooses, given that Levein did state he would try some of the youngsters once we're safe. After the performance against Derby, he may be reluctant to drop players who performed well.

With the back four playing well, I don't think that will be disrupted. However, Levein could bring on Stearman in the second half for one of Maybury, McCarthy or Kenton.

B&C - I don't agree that Williams was superb. He'll have good patches of play, then goes missing. He certainly has the ability and potential to be one of the best midfielders in this division along with Hughes if he applies himself in the right way.

I would like to see Dawson given a chance - He would be a better option than Gudjonsson.

I can see Dublin being rested, and then brought on as sub late in the game.

[breadandcheese]

Scowy, I think you're being harsh on Williams. Last night, he worked his socks off and created some great link-up play. He closed down Derby's midfielders and worked continuously until Levein could see him tiring and took him off.

He was fantastic last night (much like the whole team). Yes, he has played terribly for much of the season and has gone missing in many matches. For that I have complained about him, as have many people. I am merely recognising that last night he played very well and long may it continue.

[shen]

Walker

Maybury - Kenton - McCarthy - Stewart

Gillespie - Nalis - Hughes - Moore

Dublin - Connolly

Subs: Hirschfeld, Dawson, Stearman, Wright, Wilcox

With Dawson and Stearman coming on in the 2nd half, presuming we're not losing

I'm not saying Williams had a poor game, but he still has the tendency to go missing. As I said, he played well in patches, but it's not continous. Saying that, I agree Williams had one his better games, but he can still do better.

That may sound a bit harsh after the team performance last night, however, I just want to see him fulfilling his potential.

99477[/snapback]

We won't even give Porter or Doddsy a chance in the Reserves so they won't be involved. I think the most we can hope for is Dawson on the bench and maybe Sheehan to join him. Because of the great performance last night we probably won't leave many/if anyone out.

I'll be pissed off if Nalis is playing though, i know he performed well last night, but if he isn't going to be here next season, theres no need to play him now when we're safe with nothing to play for except our future.

Well I've been one of William's harshes critics and I thought, especially in the first half that he performed solidly as a holding midfielder just in front of the back four and broke up several of their attacks whilst prompting some good movement. I think he made a major contribution to both the improved central defensive play and the team work as a whole. He faded quite a bit in the second half as did Hughes and several others this was probably due to the high tempo, high level of possession we enjoyed in the first half.

[SamuearlJackson]

a quick 3-5-2

....................Walker

....................McCarthy

..........Stearman.....Dabizas

Maybury.............................Stewart

.....................Tiatto

...........Hughes........Williams

..........Connolly......Dublin

Not sure about the back 3 - other possibilities here...

[FNQ]

It's all about who's going to get a contract for next season, so we need to see the likes of:

Walker

Canero Kenton Stearman Stewart

Gemmil Gudjohnsson Nalis Gillespie

Moore Dublin

And why not put a couple of youngsters on the bench.

99528[/snapback]

I agree with you completely - Williams was much better than usual but I wouldn't go so far as saying he was excellent.

He had very good patches where he showed his class and quality, but then he disappeared for the next 10-15 minutes. I feel that he thinks he's done his little bit of magic so can 'hide' for the next 10 minutes without touching the ball. Harsh but if you monitor him closely it's a fair observation.

Anyway, I can't believe some people have played Moore on the wing in their selection. He's no winger I assure you.

My team:

Hirschfeld

Maybury

Kenton

McCarthy

Stewart

Hughes

Dawson

Nalis (for his farewell)

Tiatto

Moore

Connolly

Subs:

Canero, Stearman, Dodds, Gillespie, Williams

I picked Moore because I think that's what Levein will do, because Tiatto is suspended isn't he? Anyway, if they can play Wright on the wing in the reserves, and the way Levein has been playing players out of position this season, it is actually a realistic prognosis that Moore will start on the left against Leeds

The mere facts that Gillespie is put on the left, Gemmill on the right, Canero at rightback and Stearman in central defense, while Hughes, McCarthy and Connolly are all left out in FNQ's squad is a quite clear indication of his understanding of football and his observation of CL's previous team selections <_<

if indeed it was all about a contract for next season, why would Canero, Stewart, Joey and Stearman play? Especially when Dabizas, Wilcox and Dawson are out of contract too... ?

[TrickyTrev]

.....................Walker

Maybury...Kenton...McCarthy..Stewart

Gillespie...Dawson...Williams...Hughes

...............Moore....Connolly

SUBS- Hirchfield, Stearman, Dublin, Wilcox, Nalis

People are forgetting that Danny Tiatto is suspended.

I'd like kenton to have another chance at prroving himself at centre back and Stewart, Paddy and Maybury could do with getting some games togethe runder their belt as they will almost certainly make up 3 of the back 4 next season.

Dawson has been getting rave reviews in the reserves so it seems logical to give him a chance in a match like this, will insure our midfield is competitive and there there is something of interesting in an otherwise dead rubber of a match.

Moore should definately be given a start, he has come out on loan to get some first team football and has barely got a look in. I think itwould be right of us to give hima couple of starts and Dublin is probably in need of a rest.

Nalis shoudl come on in the second half to give a farewell performance, he has been a good player for us if a little inconsistent. Wilcox is only ont he bench as Stewart's shoulderr could go at any time and we may want to move Hughesy into the centre as he is not a natural left winger.

I'd agree with that formation - with Stearman, Nalis and Dublin coming on as subs during the second half.

[Simon]

99633[/snapback]

I thought he wasnt suspended until the Plymouth game...

[Anish]

People are forgetting that Danny Tiatto is suspended.

99633[/snapback]

No we're not, he isn't suspended for the Leeds game.

Tiatto picked up his 15th booking of the season on 82 minutes after a deliberate handball and will now miss the last game of this season against Plymouth and the first two matches of next term.

Gillespie has played on the left for us several times before.

Canero is a right back (do you mean he is injured?).

I've been told Stearmans best posistion is centreback.

I thought Joey's contract was up. Obviously Adams didn't just sign players on 1 year deals. I think CL has already decided on Dabizas and Wilcox. I had no idea about Dawsons contractual posistion. Sorry.
