who would you play

[skinner 0]

if you where Glen this Sunday what team would you play????

[kick it off 2,062]

Too many loans who don''t know what the old farm derby is all about, i would throw some kids into the squad at least.Kids who have played in the youth team derbies, kids who care about the club and know what this means to the fans.Personally i''d put them in the starting XI too.I''d play:MarshSemmy Omozusi Doc BertrandCroft Clingan Patty BellLita RentonSubs: Lupoli, Adeyemi, Drury, Hoolahan, Nelson

[Mister Chops 7]

This is what I think he will play.                MarshSemmy Omozusi Doc Bertrand                  Clingan Croft                            Bell                    Russell                                     Lita   Sibierski

I''d swap Hoolahan for Sibs and play him behind Lita.

[Beaker 0]

Marshall

 

Omozuzi

Clingan

Doherty

Bertrand

 

Bell

Russell (DM)

Hoolahan (AM)

Croft

 

Lita

Sibierski

[Canary Poirot 1]

My Team would be a 4-2-1-2-1 formation. Effectively Clingan and Russell shield our back four (our weak point) and cover for the full backs when they push forward. Pattison plays as an attacking midfield who breaks forward to support Lita in the middle up front. Bell and Croft operate as advanced out and out wingers. Hopefully that''ll provide the balance between defence and attack, and plays to our strenghts whilst minimising the weaknesses.

yep - doc is better right sided, so druro picks himself ahead of ozi to play alongside the doc - leaving plastic at leftback, and semmy at right back...bell is better on the right, and in a straight fight, gets the nod over a disappointed crofty...clinkers picks himself these days - and for fight and drive, esssential for derby days, i''d get him in left centre mid - his preffered posi...hooley - signing some signs of what he can do in the hole, and so i''d give the boy a lift by giving him responsibility on the left wing...lupes - i''d start with this boy in the hole, to help him avoid the lumping challenges higher up the pitch, and hopefully, he''d score twice early on, allowing him to be subbed at half time...leezer - who else???

[Indy_Bones 444]

Personally I''d go with:MarshallSemmyOmozusiDohertyDruryCroftClinganPattisonHoolahanLitaLupoliConcentrate on keeping the ball down and with Croft and Hoolahan running at their full backs instead of looking for crosses. Clingan and Pattison should keep the centre tight and hopefully pick out a pass or two. Lupoli simply has to play, he''s got the best scoring record at the club so far, in fact I think it''s the 2nd best in the league behind Iwelumo (based on minutes played to goal ratio), and with Lita already causing the defence problems, Lupoli could easily get the chance to slip in for a goal or two.Keep it simple, keep it down, and play to the strengths of the players - whilst making sure the best players available are on the pitch.Indy.

[Indy_Bones 444]

Can someone please explain to me why they are selecting players such as Renton or Daley in front of Lupoli???The facts don''t lie, Lupoli has been excellent for us so far based on minutes played, did well when on loan at Derby even when played out of position, and also whilst playing in the cup for Arsenal. He''s proven his ability in front of goal, and yet we''re getting suggestions to play untried and untested youth players ahead of him?Perhaps I can now see why Roeder keeps picking Sibierski, if this sort of logic is being applied...

Master Chopula, if he plays this formation and goes all hoofball on us a''la last home game i''m going to blub. He better play hoolahan. Any tosh about it being a derby so we need to have strength up front etc etc is bull, I prefer to see a Norwich side play football.

[/quote]I like Lupoli and in any other game i would play him in front of the kids, but for a derby game, i think we need to throw something unexpected onto the pitch, the scum wont expect a kid in our starting XI and these kids really know what the derby means....thats not a slight on Lupoli at all, i think he is fantastic and would start him in a normal game as i said. He should be first choice instead of the wholly uninspiring Sibs for me.

Agreed, that is my main contention about Roeder changing the team and not playing the best players each week, if I see Sibs down as starting tomoro il be very p*ssed off, especially if Hooly has to make way, and Lupoli should be starting but we know that wont happen, unless by some miracle Roeder thinks he will use him as some unexpected quantity or ace up his sleeve! he wone even bring him on at half time if sibs is doing nothing, its ridiculous!

it has always been the same - particularly the prem and post prem season;  drury needs dropping for Brennan/CHarlton etc etc on the basis that person not playing was better,  forgetting that Drury was chosen to start with because he was better...

While Roeder, like worthy did, persists in playing under performing favourites that actually mean we play worse football and are less threatening rather than the likes of hoolahan and lupoli (ie some match winners ) we will continue to bob along at the bottom of the table 

[ZLF 334]

Marshall

Omosuzi   Doc Drury   Bertrand

Bell     Clingan   Pattison   Hoolahan

         Lupoli    Lita

Subs

Nelson Semmy  Croft Russell  Koroma

Omo because Ipswich know about Semmys far post aerial weakness and targetted it last year. I put drury in the middle instead of Omo only because it gives the centre some balance;  Doc does not perform as well on  the left side of centre and we have a letf and right footed player;  if Drury has a mare then sub either drury or bertrand, move omo across and bring Semmy on.   Clingan could be moved back but that does not gives any more in defence that omo/doc or doc/drury partnership,  shows a lack of faith in the defenders but most importantly it really weakens the central midfield,  IF he is good then Norwich tend to win games,  we dontt dominate the midfield without him, if he is average or poor he still plays better than any other central midfielder.   

Bell ahead of Croft because he is better,  pattison because he is in less bad form than Russell (who only makes the bench instead of Fozzy because Fozzy is a lost cause at the mo) and Hoolahan, Lita and Lupoli because they are the only three match winners at the club.

Subs - semmy as it gives us the chance of changing the defence if needed;  Croft and Russel ditto the midfield (although neither has the ability to really change the game) and Koroma because we have seen that Sibierski is ineffective and I dont yet know that Koroma is poor as that and pace is always a threat in this league
