The Team Now v Pompey

[Lighthouse]

Swart
Kelly
Hughes
Hangeland
Storey(if available) or Buch
Duff
Baird
Murphy
Gera
Zamora
Okaka

[White Noise]

Not sure Okaka will go straight into the side but the alternatives are not particularly strong. Could see Shorey starting but I think the German lad will be a ressie and is not in the first team squad.

[Lighthouse]

I agree about the German lad. The problem is only the availability of Storey should he not be able to play. If not Okaka then who? Nevland? Or... no thats it. We are still so short up front.
Please God we do not play with only one up front with Gera behind.

[Brede Butter Pudding]

Have Shorey and Okaka been signed in time to play on Wednesday? If they have, I think the team will be:

Schwarzer

Kelly   Hughes   Hangeland   Shorey

Riise   Baird    Murphy    Duff

         Gera


       Bobatov

(Okaka to come on around 75 min mark for Bobatov)

[os5889]

Schwarzer

Stoor/Kelly Hughes Hangeland Shorey

Gera Baird Murphy Duff

Nevland Zamora


No real changes for me, phase Okaka in slowly

[bigalffc]

Please let it be 4-4-2 Would definitely start Shorey and lets have Okaka on as sub when were 3up.

[SuffolkWhite]

How versatile do we think Smalling is and could he play at right back?

[MrCheviot]

We have a hard enough time getting the ball past midfield as is, hope he never strays from the center.

I would really like to see Stoor given a run out... FFS we started Kallio already this season, and I recall Stoor having a bit of a charge.

[TonyGilroy]

The first thing I hope (even demand) happens is that Hughes and Hangeland play in central defence. Their's is too good a partnership to be messed with. We're conceding sloppy goals and stopping that has to be the main priority.

I'd add Greening to the midfield to add muscle.

I don't see why Shorey should be ineligible and the need for a proper left back is desperate.

I'd for sure play someone in support of Zamora and Nevland was poor on Saturday. Okaka's come to play so I'd put him in.

So

Schwartzer

Kelly Hughes Hangeland Shorey
