Stephen Hawkings Football Boots 0 Posted July 16, 2009 why does otsemobor get to play every game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Fantastic 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Because he is our only natural RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Hawkings Football Boots 0 Posted July 16, 2009 its a very attacking formation, the only defensive midfielder is Adeyami. we''re playing 3 strikers and 2 wingers?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Because we''re short of right sided players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Fantastic 0 Posted July 16, 2009 I guess it will be McDonald and Martin playing just off Bridges who will hold up the ball and play other people into the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Finally Drury not playing. No doubt injured again, or just dropped for poor performances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted July 16, 2009 looks like Hoolahan playing alongside Adeyemi, we''re going to be overun with mcveigh and martin/mcdonald playing wide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Fantastic 0 Posted July 16, 2009 No it says Hoolahan is out on the left, and McVeigh out on the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted July 16, 2009 Thats a hell of an attacking line-up. Adeyemi is basically our only midfielder! Be interesting to see how it pans out.Drury will not be playing as he played on Tuesday and Gunn has already said he would change things around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yelverton Yella 0 Posted July 16, 2009 I don''t know when he signed his Cambridge contract but they are saying (as of Saturday) he is committed to them;http://www.cambridgecityfc.com/artman/publish/article_1459.shtml - unless of course he has signed a contract to make sure they get a fee if he comes to us!

It could be important if he breaks through as I am not wholly convinced that OTJ and Gill is a promotion chasing midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
