It's been a while since we had one of these...

[Stu M]

...so what's the starting XI on Saturday? Having not seen the friendlies, this isn't who I necessarily think should start, but who I think will...

 

Kerr

Gooding

Skinner/Glozier (depending on Skins fitness)

McCarthy

Porter

Saunders

Bowry

Slatter

Drury

MacDonald

Omoyinmi

 

Subs: Holloway, J Smith, Jackson, Protheroe, Surey

[DarrenGNFC]

Ah good good. I was expecting one of these threads soon. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Protheroe's banned after his Stevenage red card, by the way.

 

Anyway...

 

Kerr

Gooding

Skinner

McCarthy

James Smith

Slatter

Jackson

Saunders

Bowry

MacDonald

Grant

 

(Done in, Right, Left, then centre order if that confused anyone)

 

Subs: Holloway, Glozier, Ross Smith, Drury, Omoyinmi.

 

That's if we've signed Grant...

 

Call me controversial, but I'd rather have Slatter on the right than Drury. Although, that opinion is based on just one game, but I really did think Slatter played excellently.

 

I suppose Drury could play on the left...

 

I think we shouldn't play Omoyinmi and MacDonald together due to their height.

[Richard C]

MacD and Manny will be excellent together. Didnt rate Grant highly at all bit like Sigere!! manny will have the pace to feed off MacD who holds the ball better than anyone ive seen in Red for a while.

Kerr

Gooding R Smith McCarthy Skins

 

Slatter Bowry Saunders Jackson

 

Emmanuel Charlie

 

Subs:

Holloway

Jukebox

Glozier

Grant/L Moore

 

Protheroe suspended, McKimm and Porter (probably) injured.

[Ian_D]

Porter must be injured as I saw him and Macca get the new Mega Burger at the Charlton match on Monday

I dont know what others think about it but the abbreviation of Macdonald is both uneccessary however you spell it and pointless.

 

I dont know why but it really annoys me

 

MACDONALD lol

 

Also they both have 3 sylables therfore i'm not sure technially it's an abreviation, so no need to use it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Guess who's been paying attention in English <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[PJ!]

yeah but MaccyD sounds cool.

 

Alternatively we could use his nickname "Big Mac".

[Gordon T]

I'm lovin it

Slatter Saunders Bowry Jacko

MacDonald Grant(if signed)or Manny

[DarrenGNFC]

Alright, after reading the Reporter, I'll swap James Smith for Ross Smith.

 

I just thought James was great against Colchester.

[Richard C]

Yep agreed. Definitely Ross Smith in there. Very clouded assessment as I have only seen one game but I thought Ross Smith looked superb. No offence to J Smith.
