MikeO Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share 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 You missed Atsu, he's definitely in as well.

MikeO Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Looking like the crowd's going to be a bit sparse, be lucky to get 20,000 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Should involve as many as possible..why only 2 It's absolutely pointless starting almost all bench players. The youngsters already play together in U-21 games. If we're going to learn, they have to blend with at least some starters. Osman should be in there, for example. Hibbert, Pienaar, and Kone, yes. But I'd like to see some of the younger players learn too from Eto'o, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 It's funny how big the squad is and how decent it looks on paper..... But we seem shit this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Regardless, it's a very attack minded team. Hopefully 2 uptop with Kone McAleny partnered, big chance for an impression here. Good to see ovideo and garbs on the left together with peanuts CAM! Excited none the less to see a few of the young boys and hopefully they step up!!

Hafnia Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Can't help but feel deflated when I see Pienaars name now. He's only 32, it just seems that he looks like he's playing that bit older, maybe its just me. Romey 1878 and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 According to the Telegraph Sport today, Martinez is to 'show off his diamonds'.

Dowell and Walsh are thought to be amongst the others. Tim Cahill thinks Kieron Dowell could be the best of the new lot of Ledson, McAleny, Green, Garbutt.

Seems we have a group group of young players knocking on the door. Experiences like tonight can just spur them on to go that bit higher.

Bobby's not mentioned the subs at all though as far as I've seen, so there should be another half dozen as yet unnamed with a chance of getting on. No point whatsoever in putting experience on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Bobby has said the other two names will be "diamonds" surely Ledson and Green. But looking at missing positions..... One must be a CB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm goin!!!! I'm not, giving this one a miss. Be arsed with that wind and rain.

Shukes Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Itching to see him also, however there seems to have been no mention of him. Last I saw on his Twitter account os that he was Injures and hoping to be back in the new year. That's why we haven't heard of him for a while. He seems to have had loads of injurys.
