Good Mitro starts - Bad Cheek starts

[sunburywhite]

Looks like Maja isnt fit?

[twang]

Why does RLC start instead of our top scorer? Other than that decision I totally agree with this lineup. Would have been nice to see Maja on the bench though.

[keithh]

I thought his late signing precluded him?

[grandad]

Maja had to be signed by 12.00 on Monday to be eligible to play.

[RufusBrevettatemyhamster]

I'm glad to see Reed getting a start. Imo a better option to Lemina

[Ronnief]

This looks like a very defensive line up, or will we play a 4 4 2?

[clarkey]

Rotten decision to leave BDR on the bench and keep RLC in the team. That's just illogical, one scores and gives 100% the other falls over. Go figure !

I guess Tete and Robinson will push on, I see it as attacking, RLC  and Zambo can drive forward, looking forward to this

I LOVE FFC

I am sick and tired of watching that lazy git RLC - I find it absolutely grating on my nerves watching him amble around

Please let me be wrong this time

[ScalleysDad]

I guess having BDR and Lemina on the bench gives us good options to bolster midfield but with an attacking element if required and Cav for pressing a high line also if required. The back four on the bench shows quite clearly how far we have come but also that we are a pretty lean squad.
Coyw. I am using up a mountain of brownie points for this one so two nil please.

To play in midweek game he had to be signed before midday on Monday.

Bloody Cheek.

[The Swan]

I agree with posters that RLC should not start ahead of BDR.

Has Scott Parker promised RLC a starting role every time and that is why RLC signed for us on loan.

Good luck Mitro Do your best abd score the winning goal.

RLC has hardly started every game and he hasn't been injured, so I don't think that is the case.

I'm not sure that can be the case, because RLC didn't start many games early on. It's only recently that he's come in for favour.

As for the BDR point; I would much prefer Bobby over RLC too, but I suspect Bobs could do with a bit of a break. Everyone needs a rest every once in a while. I suspect we'll see him around the 60 min mark though
