So how many of yesterday's team will start the 04/05 campaign?

[Zebedee]

So who from yesterday's team do we expect to feature in the first game of the new season?

I think that Roberts will start, as will Harding, Butters, Cullip, Virgo, Read, Knight and, perhaps, Chippy. Realistically, however, I would expect Hart, Jones, Oatway and Iwelumo to struggle to make an impression next year. It's good to know that we have Blackwell and Rodger coming back from injury but I can't help thinking that, as a minimum, we need two creative midfield players, a winger (Stephen Hunt) and a striker to stand much chance of staying up. I'd like to see the profits from yesterday's game ploughed back into the team but this seems unlikely given the parlous state of our finances. Let's hope that as a minimum we can generate some extra revenue by getting those extra 2,000 seats installed before the start of the season.

The 4 certainties are

Cullip
Carpenter
Roberts
Knight

 

[Scotty Mac]

i reckon virgo will - mcghee seems to rate him, although watson coming back might affect whether he does

butters should be as well, although that depends on blackwell

I'd be horrified at the thought of Watto returning to the team next year. He did absolutely nothing for us in 02/03.

 

[Icy Gull]

Piercy and Reid have the ability

Forgot Piercy. I'd certainly keep him too. Looked up for it when he came on yesterday.

 

[Scotty Mac]

will rodger be back?

 

[Zebedee]

will rodger be back?

Difficult call Scotty. I didn't think he played that well for us at the beginning of the 02/03 season but our team did look poor under Hinsh's management. To be fair to Hinsh though the youngsters have come on a treat since then. Would we I wonder have made Div 1 this season playing Watto and Mayo as our full backs? I doubt it.

 

[Weezle]

Rodger didn't play for us when Hinsh was manager! He was a Coppell signing!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

from todays team:
roberts- please please please do
virgo- ditto
cullip- definately
butters- i'm really not sure, pace is a big problem
harding- would like to see him prove himself at that level
hart- yeh but only as a baclup right winger
oatway- was brill yesterday but no thank you
carpenter- yes please
jones- ditto hart
iwelumo- don't think he'd cut it, maybe as backup
knight- i think he'd be better in div 1 than div 2(less physical)

piercy & reid- definately got the ability, keep them on

 

[portslade seagull]

players out for me would be
Butters ...to slow for 1 div
oatway ..loses the ball to much
jones... never liked him
not sure on harty-boy
virgo will improve as will harding

we just need a craative midfielder to get the ball
and play it on the ground to save our necks
experienced centre-half with speed
back-up striker maybe 2

 

[Turkey]

Kuipers
Watson
Cullip
Virgo
Mayo
Winger
Carpenter
Rodger
Winger
Iwelumo
Knight

Iwelumo will be better as part of a team and not just a target man with naff all to do all game imho.

 

[saltash seagull]

roberts,virgo,danny,harding,chippy and leon will probably be more than likely starters

please no watson and mayo

if i was guy i would do a nasser and call it a day! wat a match to finish!! with he said he would have done if it hadnt been for his return to the 1st team and i worry about his pace in div 1
