Surprised Williams not included

Mrsblue will be furious with that decsion!! Thats 2 tins of dubbin wasted on his boots that she wont get back anytime soon! :smile:

 

[mattitouk]

I presume Weston will be on the left and Piggot on the right if it's a 4-4-2

 

[tallboyblue]

Going for a draw.

 

[Barry.C]

No Worrall and Mooney at the start and a lot of inexperience in Rea and O Neill. could this be another of Phils co-k up calls, where he admits he got it wrong afterwards?
Please prove me wrong boys, but looks like the usual defensive mindset. with Weston running into the corner flags from just before half time

And all that time and wool knitting his lucky pants!

Every week I hope for an attacking 442 with 2 wingers and it never happens. Why not have a go today and play both Worrall and McLaughlin?? Playing Rea in midfield seems like a very strange option.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Williams is there and was training beforehand with Thompson apparently. I admit to being a little surprised he wasn't included, and that Worrall still doesn't merit a start. I do understand the inclusion of Rea but would personally have preferred the more orthodox two CMs with two wide men in Worrall and McLaughlin.

Not even in jest eh Jaffa?

err, took the best one at Wembley, taken them in World Cup qualifiers, so might be worth a hunch.
