Team for Sunday

[Simon's Church]

Not a great performance tonight but onwards and upwards. Who would you play on Sunday?

For me:

McCarthy
Cummings Mariappa Pearce Shorey
McCleary Guthrie Leigertwood McAnuff
Roberts Hunt

Agreed but u reakon Guthrie will start not so sure?

[ManchesterRoyals]

Oh or Pearce

[floyd__streete]

Sunday's starting line up =/= rearranging the deckhairs on the Titanic =/= Gregor Fisher's photobooth comb-over in that Hamlet advert.

[floyd__streete]

I think its time for a recall for Robert Codner.

Pearce was down on the touch line berating the fourth official with Jason Roberts at full time, so I guess he is still in the picture. Unlike Guthrie who could be anywhere by now,

I might as well play in defence tbh.

Correct me if im wrong but Pearce was on the bench

Can't disagree with that.

Don't think many could. Taylor, Gorkss, Harte, Tabb, HRK, Pogrebnyak, Lefondre. On the bench.

I'd be tempted by Tabb until half-time.

Another +1 from me. No brainer. (and if McD doesn't pick this team we need to ask serious questions of someone who I hold in incredibly high regard)

[Simon's Church]

except the manager's fallen out with two of them?

*Current* manager.

Don't see how you could pick a different squad to that tbh.

[Ian Royal]

.....................McCarthy
...Cummings, Mariappa, Pearce, Shorey
................Guthrie, Ledge/Tabb
Kebe..............Hunt...........McAnuff
.........................Roberts

Taylor, Morrison, Tabb/Ledge, McCleary, Pogrebnyak, ALF, HRK

Hunt playing just off Roberts, dropping into midfield when we haven't got the ball and roaming when we have. I'd rather not play Ledge or Tabb, but the only other options are Gunnarsson or a lightweight kid. And none of those are really up to it. So basically toss a coin. Tabb's shorter and less good but more atheletic. Ledge is just too slow and a bit too casual at times.

Happy to go with the consensus and start McCleary by the way.

[bassavage]

Names out of a hat. Seems like it'll be the same regardless who plays.

Roberts was oxf*rd immense tonight!

Gorkss and Federici in the reserves

[Lovely hot donuts!]

Reading between the lines, I think Guthrie back on Sunday, this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20127409 seems to have now been said but not till monday afternoon which I take to mean that they had a chat on monday and sorted it out but didn't train so didn't play tonight. Nevertheless, i wouldn't start him! my team would be:

----------------McCarthy------------------
--Gunter--Pearce---Morrison--Shorey--
--McAnuff--Tabb--Leigertwood--HRK--
-----------Roberts----Le Fondre---------

Subs: Federici, Cummings, Gorkss, Guthrie, Kebe, Hunt, Pogrebnyak
