I think we may be a little lightweight with both Ireland and Bannan in the team, one or the other for me.

For me my strongest line up is:

................Given
 
Young Collins Dunne Warnock

............Delph Makoun

......Zoggy Ireland Bannan

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

Id go with that too.

If we play that formation, who do we play instead of one of Ireland/Bannan. We have noone with there creativity that has any steel.

There doesn't look to be any strength in that at all I'm sorry to say.

Defence picks itself , and id rather go with makoun and delph than start with petrov who tires too quickly, banna , nzog and ireland can create and bent can finish -heskey and gabby playing wide do not work in my opinion.

The spell towards the end when ireland came on we played some lovely football.
I d like another defensive midfielder on board but if its delph or petrov then id rather see delph get a run, than see petrov huffing and puffing after 50 mins.

What's the point of having strength in the team, if when we use all that strength to win the ball but cannot keep hold of it. Unless we sign a Scotty Parker we have to make do with what we have.

IMO the team above would be our most effective.

From the cooments AM has made during the last couple of weeks, I think you can be assured that Petrov and Heskey will start against Fulham next week.  How long they remain in the team will depend on how they do or, more importantly, how well others do when they come on as subs/perform on the training pitch/play in behind closed doors friendlies.

I'followed' the game on Twiitter last night; it seemed that we were a bit 'same old, same old' with far too many speculative balls and lack of gelling together.

I am a VERY positive person, but ( and I dearly hope I'm proved wrong), from what I see this season is going to be a painful one.

Good to see N'Zog scoring mind.
