markjazzbassist Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 We've already won our Europa League Group and advanced to the Round of 32. This is a game for youth and reserve players who need match fitness. Here's what I would like to see depending on if Gibson, Naisy, and Pienaar are fit Robles Hibbert Alcaraz Browning Garbutt Ledson Gibson/Besic Atsu/McGeady McAleny/Naismith Pienaar Kone Quote
Guest rusty747 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 I agree entirely and I can't argue with your starting eleven. Hibbo as Captain? The lad deserves it. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote
Paddock Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 Not in the slightest bit arsed about this game. I'm even considering giving it a miss. I hope he plays the kids, by that I mean not one first team regular. Robles, Hibbert, browning, Galloway garbutt Ledson some random u21s Atsu more random u21s Kone Bench full of u18s Rest every single player involved in the first team squad. Bet be plays Barry and Howard though Quote
Newty82 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 Hopefully we'll see some fringe players played. Give some of the so called tired players a rest. But I can't see wholesale changes. Quote
MikeO Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 Hopefully we'll see some fringe players played. Give some of the so called tired players a rest. But I can't see wholesale changes. I can, I like Mark's team in the opening post, but would be just as happy with Paddock's. Quote
markjazzbassist Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Posted December 7, 2014 But I can't see wholesale changes. But RM said there would be wholesale changes! Kone start and youngsters given a chance plus players who need to regain match fitness. Quote
Newty82 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 Oh did he? I didn't realise that. In that case I can see wholesale changes. That's my future reading skills at their best. chicagoblue 1 Quote

That's my future reading skills at their best. Yeah since we already qualified there's nothing to play for but pride so he said he wanted to give youth and Kone and the like a chance. Quote
Newty82 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 I really want to see Kone. I don't expect much from him, just be good to see him back. Quote

chicagoblue Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 I don't think it would be a bad idea to play Ross, as he's still making up fitness, but the rest should be very much u21s and others who have been uninvolved. If Barry plays I might break my TV. Quote
Sibdane Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 Robles Browning Hibbert Jags Garbutt Besic Gibbo Atsu Barkley McGeady Kone Answers on a post card. Rather see Oviedo (if fit) over McGeady. Also, rather give Jags the night off for one of the youngsters but not sure who. Quote
Elston Gunnn Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 Surely Kone, Atsu, and Robles will start. As McGeady played only 13-14 minutes v. Hull, and not at all v. City, I'd like to see him get some minutes. Quote
MikeO Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 Surely Kone, Atsu, and Robles will start. As McGeady played only 13-14 minutes v. Hull, and not at all v. City, I'd like to see him get some minutes. Any "peripheral" fit player who doesn't start is guaranteed to be off in January; if Bobby won't pick you for this he sure as hell won't pick you ever.

Agreed. Kone, Robles, and Atsu seem the obvious peripheral and fit players. Not sure what to think about Oviedo and Pienaar. Wouldn't want to "waste" them in a meaningless match if not absolutely fully fit, but if both are in fact fully match-ready, then start one at LM, other on as sub second half. Quote
Guest rusty747 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 I must admit I had forgotten about Oviedo and Pienaar. I would consider starting Oviedo ahead of Mcgeady or bringing him off the bench for Mcgeady. Love Pienaar but I fear his legs have gone. Quote
Cornish Steve Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 There's little point in starting only the youngsters; we'd learn little more than watching a U-21 game. It must be a combination of starters and bench players to see how the blend. Quote

(or any "out of the box" lineup, for that matter) Or will it be difficult to judge anything in a meaningful way, because Kras has nothing to play for? Doesn't really matter about the score line (we want to win obviously) more of a game to watch players fitness to gauge their readiness for first Team action. I doubt Krasnodar will put a full strength side out as they need to focus on the Russian prem now. For the youngsters it's about Making an impression and hoping to win over the coaches to see some first team minutes. Quote

AlbanyNYToffee Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Robles Hibbert Browning Alcaraz Garbutt Besic Ledson Atsu Osman McGeady Kone Gibson, Oviedo and McAleny on for Ledson, McGeady and Osman respectively If Howard, Coleman, Jags, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, Mirallas or Lukaku are even on the bench i will be pissed. Barkley, Eto'o, Distin, Naisy wouldnt mind nearly as much Quote
FairWooney Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 guaranteed to start confirmed in the press conference are: Robels, Oviedo, Garbutt, Browning, Pienaar, Atsu and Kone will start. Not sure where Oviedo will slot in with Garbutt a left back and PIenaar usually a left mid. Maybe Pienaar will move over. That leaves 4 spots which I'm sure will include Ledson, as well as probably Kennedy. Not sure on the other 2. Quote
AlbanyNYToffee Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Confirmed: Robles, Browning Garbutt, Alcaraz, Oviedo, Pienaar, Kone, McAleny. He also refused to name youngsters but did "slip" and say 2 youngsters. That's 10 total players so one other TBD in the lineup. Most likely a first team player. McGeady/Atsu/Hibbert/Besic/Osman Robles ?/Browning ?/Browning Alcaraz Garbutt ? ? Pienaar McAleny Oviedo Kone Quote
marcopaulo Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Be astounded if Ledson isn't involved Quote
MikeO Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Be astounded if Ledson isn't involved Greg O'Keeffe @GregOK 25m25 minutes ago Educated guess is that the remaining two starting slots for #EFCvKRA will go between JonJoe Kenny, Ryan Ledson or Chris Long Quote
