LC3: West Ham Utd 1 Plymouth Argyle 0 (26/09/07)

Post by Jackanakanory »

Can't see one so I'll start my first one

We have a very tough game on Saturday against the best team in the country both factually and IMO in Arsenal next weekend, a good cup result will do a power of good.

My team would be

Wright
Solano
Collins
Gabbers
Spector
Freddie
Parker
Noble
LBM
Ashton
Camara

Couple of kids on the bench and Parker as captain.

Rest Neill he needs it!!

Maybe give Nobes a rest?

Could have Freddie and Parker in the middle, with Paintsil on the right.

How are they cup tied?

The team you've picked would give Plymouth a great chance of beating us.

Looking forward to it - my first home match for nearly 8 years. Going with a mate who's a Plymouth fan so it'll be a long journey home if we don't win. Comeonuirons

Code: Select all

           Boa-Morte    Cole

Ljungberg   Mullins   Parker    Bowyer

McCartney  Collins    Gabbidon  Spector
                 Wright
I'm unsure of this. Plymouth should not be underestimated. The midfield is devoid of pace, and through the middle, there's not much attacking threat. I imagine we'll see Noble in for Parker, and Parker introduced on the hour mark.

Boa-Morte and Cole upfront isn't the worst of pairings. Technically it's not the best, but physically it's not too bad.

I think we'll have to include Ashton and Etherington. Possibly starting with them and trying to kill the game off before half-time. Paintsil, Quashie or Davenport should be in among the subs also.

It may be worth playing Gabbidon, Spector, or Neill at left-back - whoever Curbs sees as McCartney's replacement should he get injured.

Wright

Solano Collins Upson Stella

Ljungberg Collison Parker Boa

Ashton Bellars


Neill's been ***** for two games and could do with the kick up the arse, Parker/Upson should be able to captain us against Plymouth and it'll be good to see Solano being given a run out.

Good time to introduce Ljungberg and Parker and let them get a feel for the forwards (I'd keep Bellars and Ashton for that reason, as well as to let them carry on forging a burgeoning partnership).

Matty and Noble have looked tired so I'd let Collison (who looked good pre-season) and Boa (who seems short of practise) have a look in.

4-0 Ashton (2), Bellamy and Collison

----------------------Wright----------------------
Gabbidon----Collins------Upson--------Spector
Ljungberg----Parker------Mullins---------Reid
---------------Ashton-----Bellamy

subs: Walker, Ferdinand, LBM, Cole, Quashie

No need to underestimate them.... Neill, Noble look like they need a rest... bowyer, etherington and mccartney can be rested for this one to give the others a chance to improve their match fitness... Reid seems to be deserving of a chance based on his performances in the reserves... Collins-Upson, Ashton-Bellamy and Parker-Mullins need to have a go at forming partnerships

Also, a few seem to be forgetting that Solano and Camara are cup tied

I'm not doubting he is jaded but it amazes me that a professional athlete can be tired after half a 7-8 games (incl Eng U21's) of a season.

Christ knows wahst going to happen when the heavy winter schedule kicks in and 3 games a week in the rain and snow.
