England v Slovenia [poll attached]

[TBM]

What team would you put out?
Will we win the game?
Will we win the group?

[PieEater]

This game is a must win, so therefore we'll probably draw 0-0.

[ScottishRoyal]

England will win this. I think they'll play Joe Cole on the left which will finally give the team some shape, it'll benefit Ashley Cole's game too.

We deserve to lose, but we'll probably get a spawny win to go through.


If we do go through I would play.

This looks like what we should do and Heskey back at the team hotel. I agree that Lampard is on bench as for whatever reason Gerrard is better without him.

Basically the world-class players are Cole, Rooney and Gerrard, so give them what they want.

No Slovenia will.

[TBM]

can't see Dawson starting ahead of upson considering he didn't make the original 23

[leww_rfc]

True. But that's the team i'd put out, IMO Dawsons had a much better season.

Nor me although I think Dawson would give us better balance than Upson alongside Terry

I'd go with that team but have Dawson instead of Upson and Lampard instead of Carrick

[Ian Royal]

I've gone with Dawson on the basis he might be a bit quicker than Upson and there probably isn't a great deal of difference between them otherwise. And Dawson maybe more of one for the future so better to blood him now.

Lampard has been awful, Carrick may be able to help us retain possession a bit better.
