WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Can't see a complete overhaul but he will deffo make a good few changes

Adrian
Fredericks Balbuena Oggy Cressy
Obiang Sanchez Rice
Snodgrass Perez Anderson

I'm torn. I really don't want to risk key players getting injured with Man U at the weekend, but I also want to see us challenge for the cups.

I don't think Antonio or Yarma are fit enough to play tomorrow and Sunday, and Rice is too important to our formation for him to be risked, IMO. With Wilshere already injured, losing Obiang or Noble would seriously hamper our choices for the weekend so I think Pelle needs to be careful with his line up.

You have to feel sorry for Phil Jones....not. ;lol

ASLEFshrugged

I arrive at Heathrow 11am. Got tickets on the halfway line top tier near the front.

Jet lag-a-go-go!!?

Yeoldhammer

Our youngsters by all accounts tear it up on league one. Josh Cullen is already getting motm performances at charlton.
No reason why the youngsters cannot do it against a pumped up league two side.

Adrian

Fredericks. ??? Ogbonna. Cresswell

??? Sanchez. ???

Snodgrass. Hernandez. Perez

Fill the ??? With youngsters.

Yeold, are these the Question-Marks Brothers who I've heard so much of? ;biggrin

The u21s played last night against Exeter and lost which included Oxford & Lewis who was probs closest to playing

Holland, Silva and Pask were all injured

So I don't think we at likely to see some youngsters

MrsGrey

From the match report:

The Hammers fielded a very young side in the south west due to a combination of two things; injuries, of which there were a number, and absentees who could be involved with the first team on Wednesday for their Carabao Cup encounter against Macclesfield Town.

“The big positive this week is that we have players involved with the first team tomorrow, so that’s a big positive from the Academy’s perspective,” Manning reflected.

Stand corrected ;ok

Lets hope we see a couple

MrsGrey

;ok I was going to see if I could work out from the team sheet etc who might be involved, but I ran out of time. (And bovvered, if I'm honest!) Decided to wait and see, and hope for nice surprise ;biggrin

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

When I think of the brightest youngsters in the team I think Holland, Silva, Oxford, Cullen, Neuville, Samuelsen, Browne and Sead

The last 5 of those are on loan (i think), Oxford played so it leaves Sead and Holland (who may be injured or may have been rested for tonight)

Couldnt tell you who else has been 'rested'

OldCastleSwift

Holland and Silva are injured, I know that much.

Samuelsen, Haksabanovic, Browne and Cullen are on loan.

Neufville not sure about, and Oxford played last night.

So from what I have seen of the U23s this season, it looks like Grady Diangana, Joe Powell, Josh Pask, Dan Kemp, Conor Coventry and Moses Makasi may be in with a shout tonight.

Thanks OCS

Some players are going to be rested for the weekend but if things are going wrong we seem to have enough strength on the bench without having to risk any of the youngsters:

Adrian
Zabaleta - Balbuena - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Antonio - Noble - Sanchez
Perez - Hernandez - Anderson

Subs:
San Miguel - Girod - Gonzalez - Morena - Lucas - Gutierrez - Pereira Gomes

BubblesNeverDies

Ade who is this Gutierrez?

Balcazar. With all of the Central and South American players we have signed over the years it's easy to get confused. I presume that at least one of them is still with is.

adecoker

Or if neither of them are, I say let's give one of the kids a chance.

Typical a friend has a spare ticket for tonight and I am at home having reacted to my flu jab and cannot get out of bed for long

I hear ya. Got back from Morocco on Sunday and haven’t got off the toilet. Was really looking forward to tonight. I guess Liverpool v Chelsea will have to suffice

Carabao Cup Thread ReOpened - (H) Macclesfeild - 26.09.18

Going to keep this for these cup games.

Thanks, Suzanne.

Anyone know if this will be available through streaming?

MrsGrey

I've looked around. It's not being broadcast anywhere apart from 1 obscure Chinese channel, so almost 100% there won't be a stream.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Liverpool Chelsea it is

MrsGrey

Looks like it's radio of text updates.

Is diangana a winger or AM?

Pretty strong team though with a couple options off the bench

BubblesNeverDies

Sweepy, a tad too much information methinks. ;wink

MrsGrey

Dianaga playing as a number 10?

4-2-3-1?

steve

Happy with that team should be good enough having said that we never do it easy so a scrappy 1-0 win

secrethammersfan

...with Balbuena scoring in the 103rd minute!
