i thought manny would have been looking with his eyes?

[FleetFanatic]

Just as well we haven't loaned Manny out to anybody this season - he might have 'forgotten' who he'd played for and when.

That's odd, I was led to believe that Pullen hadn't played for Welling in the Trophy, or at least that's what their website seemed to say...

Welling's website doesn't actually carry their line-ups for their two Trophy matches this season. Presumably the club's checked it over.

So it'll probably be a team somewhat like this then:

Wilko
Proths McCarthy Saunders Skins
Moussa Drury Macca Jackson
Essandoh Pinnock

NO IDEA FOR THE SUBS THOUGH!!

I reckon Jay is far more effective in midfield, and although he was OK at the back, that was all he was.
I would prefer a natuaral defender - even a full back alongside McCarthy. So long as they are strong in the tackle and quick they will cope. Macca should take care of anything in the air - and Wilko is big enough and ugly enough to take care of anything arial as well.
with my line up, if things are going well, Dukebox could push up into a 4-3-3, and with Prothers, and Jacko, there should be enogh crosses for Roy and pinns to feed off.
Let us not underestimate Eastbourne.
Therefore I would go for:
Wilko
Protheroe Gledhill MaCarthy Skinner
Drury Mckimm Saunders Jackson
Essandoh Pinnock
Subs :
Slade(GK ?) Luke Moore, Moussa, Manny, AN Other

[Hempstead Gaz]

AN Other could be Surey, if he is able to hobble onto the bench.

[Fleetbabe]

I know Manny would be looking with his eyes, what I meant was has his injury got any better, coz we need him back. Looks like it's reserves for the subs then.

 

Don't think Fordy would risk Surey though, do you?

[chilled out entertainer]

surey not? badoom dom tsssh!

[Slartibartfast]

I thought Badoom Dom Tsssh went out on loan and don't call me Shirley!

[Fleetbabe]

will anyone answer my question. How is Manny. Is his injury any better? It was his hamstring wasn't it?

I'll pay someone ten pound not to answer the question

[Hempstead Gaz]

His hamstring is fine. He has got a groin strain. He wants something to take away the pain but leave the swelling!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Fleetbabe]

HOW RUDE!

 

I'm sure that I could find a friend to do that for him!!

 

Ok so it's a groin strain, I thought it was his hamstring. How did he get that groin strain in the first place I wonder!!!

You've just lost yourself £10

[Fleetbabe]

Oh dear, never mind!

 

I'm sure we could find someone to fill Manny's request as passed on by Chatham Gary couldn't we?

[Red Neck]

Wonder if former 'Fleet' favourite, Darren 'Luggs' Smith will be playing.

[Fleetbabe]

Does he play for Eastbourne then? I didn't know that, mind you i don't actually pay much attention where former players are concerned. One exception being Walshie.

[Jimmy]

No, he doesn't play for Eastbourne. Red Neck just made him up as doing so. Education these days must be high quality.

He does play for Eastbourne, mainly as sub recently.
For the Fleetbabe's benefit the Drury goal is on Conference TV

[ColtheJock]

According to the Gravesend Reporter, Manny is fit to return to the squad, does not say whether he will play or not. I agree with the comment above that Jay Saunders is more effective in midfield, and I think he has been one of the more consistent players this season. Still feel we need a striker!!!!!
