Surprising to see Steer start!!

[Captain Fantastic 0]

Otsemebor RM.. Oh god. He gets a nose bleed when he crosses the half way line!

[Inch High aka Inchy.. 417]

Hey Pete under that piece it says "Click here for the Championship table" Like we are interested.[;)]

[Inch High aka Inchy.. 417]

Curo again, I''m starting to worry.[:O]

[newyorkcanary 14]

I imagine Pattison''s inclusion is as a shop-window. I wonder if any interested parties will make the trip up to actually watch him.

[Butterbean_Canary 0]

Good to see that he has got a mix of youth and experience and even some experiments

Otsemobor on the wing?....Has Gunn been known to read these message boards by any chance?

[The Chirp 0]

i think it is great to see Gunn trying Ots on the wing. He has the pace to burn so why not see if he can do a good job there.

My only concern is his crossing ability??

[The Gunnpowder plot 0]

because he cant cross, beat a man or pick a final pass. Its alright though he has great pace to cover up some of his mistakes

[/quote]It is a great idea, and it''s one that has been floating around on these boards for quite some while now.Just never expected Gunn to pick up on it.

[Graham Humphrey 13]

It is not a good idea because he is a rubbish footballer who doesn''t seem to have so much as a functioning brain cell. We should be getting rid of him not trying to accomodate him just because he can be quite quick.

if ever a side had mid table medicocrity stamped all over it then it''s our team for tonight

[The Chirp 0]

pace is one hell of an asset in this league though. The boy must have some ability with crossing etc... He came through the ranks at Liverpool so he has to have some talent in the locker... it might be right at the back but i am sure it is there! also to add to that, I think he has looked at his best when he has gone forward... so perhaps it could be a natural move... or, perhaps Gunn has little option on the wing so Semmy is filling in!?

He must have! I''ve been questioning this for months now... finally he''s willing to give it a go!!

[quote user="Barclay_Boy"]if ever a side had mid table medicocrity stamped all over it then it''s our team for tonight[/quote]we''re still a striker short as well as a winger. Also this is only half of what i would expect to be the first 11. I know what you''re saying though. I still hope we actually pay for a decent striker. Goals win games and all that jazz.

[Graham Humphrey 13]

[quote user="The Chirp"]or, perhaps Gunn has little option on the wing so Semmy is filling in!?[/quote]

To be honest I think this is more likely - we''re not exactly overloaded with wingers at the minute.

[quote user="The Gunnpowder plot"]because he cant cross, beat a man or pick a final pass. Its alright though he has great pace to cover up some of his mistakes[/quote]His crossing is no worse than Croft''s is, and neither is his passing.And i would disagree, in that he''s fully capable of beating the oppositions defence, but only when the attitude is right.He has a good shot on him as well, and along with his turn of pace, we have a player who should be effective when cutting inside.And as he''s further away from the goal we''ll be relying less on him defensively obviously, which is surely a good thing in itself?

[Yelloow Since 72 56]

As one of those who has been suggesting Semmy at RM, I''m really pleased that Gunn is giving it a go.

At this stage of pre-season, it''s still all about getting match-fit and Gunn looks like playing different teams in this and the next match. With the size of the squad boosted by all the triallists, he has plenty of options whilst enabling all the players to get match-fit.

My guess would be that subs will be used freely but they haven''t been named as yet. Makes the game more interesting anyway! [:O]

[O.T.B.C 1]

Give it a go.

Semmy is one of those players who need''s a kick up the ass and a big hug. Still think he has a big part to play for us, the last time in this league, he walked it.

Pete is their going to be a live text update somewhere?

[Its only my opinion 0]

Am i the only person that think''s semmi looks worried when he get''s anywhere near the oppositions box??? he doesn''t look confident at all as soon as he crosses the half way line!

[AJ 1,359]

Good to see Spillane get a go, I think he''d make a good right-back for us next season.

Not sure who the tall lad is at the front....

[The Chirp 0]

I think it''s Stephens (wearing his number too, 26).
