Guess the Reds starting XI for Rochdale..

Be interesting to see if anybody can get it bang on.

Doesn't matter about formations or owt, just name the eleven starters.


Alnwick

Stones

Foster

McNulty

Wiseman

O'Brien

Perkins

Mellis

Done

Dagnall

Davies

 

You're probably not far wrong but with the exception of three players that is an awful side.

 

Almwick
Stone Foster Mcnulty Wiseman
perkins
_________ Mellis
obrien Etuhu
Daviesss

 

Thats really tough.

I reckon it won't be same side as he plays against Boro.

Alnwick, Stones, Foster, McNulty, Hassell, O'Brien, Perkins, Mellis, Cywka, Clark, Davies

 

I take it you're referring to Davies, O'Brien and Mellis?

What I don't understand is, apparently Keith is now searching for a striker to replace Mido. Yet we all knew he wouldn't be fit for weeks anyway. So why have we not recruited another forward? We've had bloody months to do it. But no, we'll go with Dangerous....

Btw, I agree with your trio, but would make it a famous five by adding McNulty and Perkins. I'd make it 6 if I believed Keith had the intention of starting Hassell, but unfortunately he doesn't like him. Same goes for RNL who is twice the player Dagnall is, in his sleep.

 

I think for once, Hemsworth, you're missing the point of this thread.

I asked folk to guess the XI. That's ELEVEN. Not ten.

This hope helps.

 

Alnwick

Collins

McNulty

Foster

Wiseman

Etuhu

Digby

Done

Mellis

O'brien

Davies

 

He doesnt like him?
its not a school play yard.

He does like rnl and thinks hes a gifted football. The comments hes made arent new. I heard his family say this against Forest not last season the end of the last season mellis was here. Ronnie Branson told him this 3/4 years. It doesnt go in.

Hassell, same he made him the club captain.

They thought mido was going into the game against rochdale, they thought they had him and davies to go along with dagers rose .....

 

Spot on. Agree with the comments re Hassell but not McNulty or Perkins. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Hassell play as a holding midfielder if needs be as he performed admirably in that position before.

 

I don't see what Matty Done has done wrong all of a sudden to be classed as an 'awful' player. He was the only threat in a poor team the back end of last season. Stones has played 2 or 3 times yet is awful? Who's to say he won't turn out to be the next (insert good right back of your choice here). Perkins isn't awful, no Steven Gerrard of course but decent enough for this level.

Saying that I do actually totally agree that Dangerous Dagnall and Scotty 'too hotty' Wiseman are awful. The jury is still out on the new keeper too, although he will only play if Steele is injured.

 

If it was MY choice, that eleven would be different. Obviously.

I'd never pick Wiseman or Dagnall, unless I'd been spiked with acid.

I'd have Hassell next to Perkins, with Mellis ahead of them, just behind Davies. O'Brien and Etuhu wide.

Nobody with a brain thought Mido would be available at Rochdale. The bloke struggled to manage half hour at walking pace, nevermind full pelt against a fired up Dale side, in a vital cup game. (Vital financially)
I've seen nothing to suggest that Dagnall is capable at this level. In fact, I reckon he'd struggle in League One.
Danny Rose has summat about him, but if we're seriously going into a Championship season with him as 3rd choice (behind Dagnall ffs) striker then it's worse than I feared.

I don't know what you were gibbering on about regarding Reubs, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that Keith Hill doesn't like/rate the lad. And if the only reason Hill isn't playing him (up front) is because of his attitude, then why the **** has he signed 3 or 4 players this summer with well known attitude problems?
And, I couldn't give a **** if Reuben went round the field calling us all tossers, he'd still be more threatening, more dangerous, and more likely to score or make a goal than Keith's mate Christopher.

 

Thats it he wouldnt call you or the other team and even team mates a ******.
He seems to be in us own world.

Butterfield was the same, he always thought it was the manager until last season in pre season and then ge changed. He didnt play against Hibs and was annoyed. but that time he went to speak with the manager and they got a plan together. He did it in training and matches and we will play.
He then showed he wanted it more and said fecking give me the ball and rest goes to there talent that he and RNL has bags full.

 

Why don't you ever reply to any thread in the right place?

 

Well if Andy Giddings is right and Goldbourne and Dawson are injured, i'd like to see:

.................Lidakevicus.................
......Hassell, Sonko, McNulty, Collins
Cywka, Perkins, Mellis, Digby, Etuhu
....................Davies.....................

But it'll probs be:

Alnwick
Wiseman, Foster, McNulty, Collins
O'Brien, Perkins, Mellis, Hassell, Cwyka
Davies

 

Alnwick
Stones
McNulty
Edwards
Wiseman
Digby
Perkins
O'Brien
Kelvin
Mellis
Davies

 

Alnwick, Stones, McNulty, Foster, Collins, Dawson, Mellis, Cykwa, Jimbo, Etuhu and Davies.

 

Can I play?

 

Alnwick, Stones, Foster, McNulty, Wiseman, Perkins, Mellis, Etuhu, O'Brien, Done & Davies.
