What team would you go with?
Federici - not my preference, his distribution hasn't been the revelation it's supposed to be and his 'keeping has not particularly impressed me, especially for the second goal last night. But he's in possession and he certainly hasn't made enough mistakes to warrant dropping.
Gunter - poor game last night, but out best right back and stand in captain.
Cummings - not suited to left back, but he's actually played reasonably well.
Pearce - strong start to the season
Hector - very promising player and you don't drop a youngster after one weaker game and a mistake they get punished for.
Kuhl - composed, if a little lightweight. If protected reasonably well he could dictate games the way we're lacking right now.
Akpan - we need specialist midfielders and Akpan has not been as bad as his detractors want to make out.
Blackman - most skillful attacking threat
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Cox - bit bulky but he's linking up reasonable well with the front players and hopefully he can kick on after a goal.
Obita - we need someone who can play wide on the left, either at full back or forward.
Pogrebnyak - well, he's the only choice really. And he's held up well.

For those worried about too many new Academy graduates being in the side at once. It's no more than any other game this season.
