Which would appear to me, injuries permitting, to be a good estimate for our team on the first game of the season.

West Ham (That's for Daniella)

[test icicles]

Stack has come back and done really really well and I have always rated him personally. I think he's a much better keeper than Federici.

However Federici will play at Brighton almost certainly.

Can i also point out, i find it incredible that quite a few people have a pop at Stack yet he has rarely if ever REALLY been at fault for a goal conceeded. OK you could have maybe thought on one or two 'hmm maybe could have done better there' but never I'd say 'that was Stack's fault'. Federici has played 4 games? In at least 2 of them he's made critical errors causing goals.

For me Stack is a decent keeper, in need of games. He's come back pre season and was superb out in Korea. for me he's number 2 and would have no qualms about him starting if MH isn't 100%.

IMO Brentfords goal was his fault. Yes, their player should have been closed down quicker but Stack took far to long to react and was also standing too far to the left of the goal.

I agree that he may just need more games but from what I've seen of him in most matches he has played he seems dodgey whenever anyone is shooting and on 1 on 1s... well, let's just say i'd rather have Federeci in goal

Disagree with Stack, thought he spilled everything in the peace cup, if this was in the premiership we would of been punished, just like Yakubu did to Hahnemann on opening day of the season last year

Stack is a terrible keeper. His gloves seem to be given a coating of butter before he comes onto the pitch. Was also shocking while on loan at Leeds to the point when they booed his name game after game. I'm still to see a good performance from him, albeit they have been cup games mainly when I have seen him.

Click on the Listen Live button, and the Saturday afternoon sports programme is coming live from [what passes as] the ground, but it's not live commentary. At least it wasn't at the point I switched off - I defy anyone to listen to more than 10 minutes of such a truly awful programme.
