    Going from what we have seen from everyone this season who would you like to see starting and the general formation being played?
    For me I think its time that Mogga noticed that Nguemo and Crosas work well in CM, with his faith in Broony too I think those 3 would make a really solid midfield of 3. Boruc (fingers crossed) is regaining his form!
    Raz and Keane look promising together, defense is a work in progress... still.

    So anyway starting 11 for me:
    Boruc
    Hink, Hooiveld, Rogne, Braaf
    Crosas, Nguemo, Broony
    Keane, Raz, Fortune (or kamara or sammy, whoever has the drive and goals in them!)

    Thoughts please!

    Boruc

    Hinkel Hoovield Rogne Braafheid

    McGeady Crosas N'Guemo Kamara

    Fortune Keane


    I like the look of Kamara but someone has to tell him he must track back and stop leaving Braafheid so exposed. With Brown suspended hopefully Mogga will relise as you have said how good Crosas and N'Guemo are together. I would also love to see how Fortune and Rass would play together, but for now i would stick with Keane.

    Also i would like there to be a game were we had a full strength team to pick from always injuries or suspensions :38:.

    Boruc
    Hinkel - Hooiveld - Loovens - Braafheid
    McGeady - Brown (c) - N'Guémo - Kamara/Maloney
    Fortuné - Keane

    Fortuné contributes much more than Rasmussen will ever do, so he should be one of the first picks in the team.

    Mowbray is going for the Arsenal/Barca approach (or at least that's what he's trying). Look at the Arsenal team last night, every one of those players making space and looking to get onto the ball with short passes.

    I'd go for:

    -------------------------------Boruc

    Hinkel-------- ----Rogne -------------------Hooiveld--------------- O'Dea

    ------------------------------N'Guemo

    ------------------Brown --------------------Crosas

    -------Maloney -------------------------------------McGeady

    ----------------------------Rasmussen

    Width from the full backs, 2 of the midfielders sitting as a base but interchanging and EVERYONE looking for the ball and making runs.

    Playing 2 strikers in the roles behind the front man is absolute suicide. They need to be comfortable playing as midfielders as well!

    Few people dropping Fortune, Mowbray has already stated Fortune is his main man. Also MAF has been our best player recently.

    i disagree with him being the best player recently and i'd be ok with fortune being on the pitch as long as rassa is playing as well

    I think this would be my first team, think its time mcgeady moved on and certainly dont agree with playing a striker on the left wing i.e DONKEY * SAMARAS and kamara :38:
