Fulham v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[cdbearsfan]

Why would anyone pick Dunne ahead of Clark? I think we probably will, just don't see the logic.

Dunne = fat, past it, trouble-maker.
Clark = athletic, good at football, best young defender in country

[Shrek]

Clark is not ready to be 1st choice yet, hopefully by christmas he might.

[cdbearsfan]

He's already better than Dunne. He's more than ready for inclusion.

[TheSandman]

I've long said my favoured option was Clark paired with Cuellar or even better a new signing but I reckon the Chuckle brothers reign will persist. Lets hope that their form merits it.

I can see Clark getting a few games at left back or central midfield.

[Risso]

I'm hoping for this,

...............Given

Young Colins Dunne Warnock

........Delph Makoun

N'Zogbia Ireland Bannan

................Bent

It'll be 4-0 to Fulham if we try that madness.

[Witton Warrior]

2 - 2 draw with Bent and Dunne scoring

[Eigentor]

I'd try something like this

				Given
	Young		Collins		Dunne		Warnock
Albrighton		Makoun		Clark		Petrov		Agbonlahor
				Bent

I'd be happy with a point.

[citizenDJ]

Swap Agbonlahor for N'Zogbia and that would be the team I'd pick, too.

I'd try something like this

				Given
	Young		Collins		Dunne		Warnock
Albrighton		Makoun		Clark		Petrov		Agbonlahor
				Bent

I'd be happy with a point.

why no nzogbia?

[TheSandman]

No N'Zogbia?

I'd be tempted to play something like that but with the Zog rather than Gabbs and maybe Bannan or Ireland in place of Stan. I do like the playing Clark as a DM idea. 

I don't like the back four but it's not like we have the choice.

I'd try something like this

				Given
	Young		Collins		Dunne		Warnock
Albrighton		Makoun		Clark		Petrov		Agbonlahor

Square pegs, swap Delph and Zog for Clark and Gabby i'd be happy.

[Toronto Villa]

a hard fought 2-0 win, with a Bent goal early on, pressure to deal with in the second half, before a break away Gabby dagger from an Ireland pass.

[eastie]

I dont mind clark or delph in the deeper role ahead of petrov.
Gabby is not the answere out wide so i hope albrighton rediscovers his edge soon.

[Holtenderinthesky]

Can't see us winning this one.  I'm very concerned about our squad, it's just nowhere near good enough.  2 -1 to them.

[Eigentor]

I'd try something like this

				Given
	Young		Collins		Dunne		Warnock
Albrighton		Makoun		Clark		Petrov		Agbonlahor
				Bent

I'd be happy with a point.

why no nzogbia?

Sorry, N'Zogbia should be there instead of Albrighton. Gabby out wide is not ideal, but I would want him in front of Warnock in case the latter proves himself to be the liability he has been for the past year.
