Albion vs. McDons Official Thread

[RM-Taylor]

Mark McGhee will name a strong line up for tonight's final pre-season friendly with MK Dons at the National Hockey Stadium.

Doug Loft and Kerry Mayo are both back to fitness - although Mayo is unlikely to figure after playing around in hour in last night's 3-1 win over Crawley.

Joel Lynch is unlikely to be risked, and Albion's other absentees are Guy Butters, Adam Hinshelwood and Charlie Oatway.

Goalkeepers Michel Kuipers and Wayne Henderson are set to play 45 minutes each - as they have done for most games throughout the build up.

Albion's only two match fit central defenders Tommy Elphick and Adam El-Abd will feature at centre-half; although McGhee is continuing his search for a loan replacement.

Albion (possible): (4-4-2) Kuipers/Henderson, Hart, El-Abd, Elphick, Reid; Brittain, Carpenter, Hammond, Frutos; Kazim-Richards, Robinson

Against Rotherham will Kuipers and Henderson get a half each?

It's a bloody difficult decision I reckon, maybe it will have to come to that!

Because NSC is going offline later and we have no idea when it'll be coming back on.

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Oh,fair play!

 

[RM-Taylor]

Well the team that's playing this evening looks like it'll be the team for the first game of the season, unless we sign a central defender on loan (doubt we will though), so it'll be interesting to see how the team play this evening, I'm going to say a comprehensive 4-1 victory to us

Is anyone actually going to this game tonight?

 

[dcseagull]

Is there any commentary on teh game anywhere?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I thought it was MK Dons. Or are we playing a Mcdonalds 11 as part of our pre season programme?

It will be like the old Shilton or Clemence thing for England. Couldnt decide so they got rotated.

We will somehow start with both of them.

Centre backs?

And Jake Robinson could go in goal.

[algie]

I fancy us to get rolled over by Martin Allen's boys tonight due to a shit defence

I love how Loft has suddenly been accepted by the Argus/McGhee as a vital first team player.

We really are desperate at the moment.

Yep, and Kerry Mayo left winger, so people in the stands can smell him.
