It's not THAT much of a one sided match, TrueBlue's N's probably have the better midfield (Bailey & Nelson are dangerous), and arguably the better CB partnership. Obviously the F's have a good frontline, aswell as a couple of useful FB's and a better keeper.

Two Ls in Terry Nicholl's name please BB. I don't see this as a walkover for the Fs at all. Neil Freeman was a very reliable goalkeeper and I think Newman and Townsend together would have kept Freddy under control. You can't overlook Nicky Bailey, who would have fed Terry Nicholl (who tore Derby pretty much apart in the FA Cup) or Garry Nelson well and the central defence of the Fs looks particularly suspect. Would the central two for the Ns be too busy concentrating on Freddy that Firmani would slip through? I'm not sure, there are several players here I simply don't know enough about so I want to hear more from the managers.

Freddy v Newman....

I'd pay good money to see how many times Freddy could humiliate Newman in 90 mins.
