Team for tomorrow. 99.9% certain it will be:

Steele

Hassell
Foster
Moore
Kozluk

Devaney
Anderson
Butterfield
Campbell-Ryce

Odejayi
Bogdanovic

Subs: Preece, Potter, Heslop, Sodje, Adam, Hume and Macken.

 

90% likely

Has Halfredsson signed? could be announced by mid day tomorrow and he could be in the frame?

 

I reckon he'll play Macken

As he seems obsessed with him.

I agree with that team though so hopefully.

Certainly if Boggo doesn't start it's bizarre, he's our one decent finisher.

 

Nothing official on that as far as i'm aware.

Won't he need International Clearance aswell? (dunno)

Which could drag the transfer on a little.

 

i rckon scott might be right

 

RE: I reckon he'll play Macken

Odejayi's got 6 goals in pre-season, Bogdanovic has 5.

He said he's going to judge the starting team in pre-season, on that basis it has to be those two up top.

Bogdanovic should be the first name on the team sheet week in, week out - best finisher at the club by a long haul.

Odejayi can provide the link up play (aslong as he doesn't get the killer chance of the game!) And bully the two Centre Halves and knock them about it.

Macken has done nothing in pre-season to warrant to start as far as i'm concerned, well off pace and doesn't look like scoring on occasion's.

How many goal's has Macken scored in pre-season? 2/3/4? (dunno)

 

I completely agree

Odejayi and Bogdanovic deserve to start.

 

Let's hope were right!

The Chronicle seem to think that Macken will be leading the line tomorrow with either Odejayi or Bogdanovic.

If that turn's out to be true it's an outrage, going against what he said by juding them in pre-season and handing his best mate a start when he's hardly warranted it.

The Chronicle aren't usually far wrong either (chinny).

 

Davey will select on fitness to a large extent

if Boggie has not made his targets, and Macken has, he'll be on the bench.

 

What'll happen:

Od and Bog will play and miss loads of sitters just proving us wrong (cryin)

 

Who would you go with Spart's? Bogo and Kayo?

Or Davey's best buddy Macken?

 

RE: What'll happen:

Don't say that .

Wouldn't expect it from Bogdanovic either, maybe 1 but don't see him missing 2/3 sitter's all game.

Praying that the best chance of the game will fall to him and win it for us (Y).

 

I dunno what the fitness position is

Boggie looks sharp to me and should start with Kayode

The much maligned Macken is very experienced though and if fitness is a doubt for any of the above JM will give a solid performance.
Macken is a last 20 minute man for me but he has won us a fair few points and should not be underestimated.

 

Haha

We'll be reight.

I think.

 

RE: I dunno what the fitness position is

Don't doubt that at all.

Every time Macken has been dropped he's come back with a much better performance, i.e. when Mifsud and Bogdanovic led the line last season, scored Vs. Cardiff when coming off the bench i think and didn't loose his place in the side again. With Mifsud and Bogdanovic alternating between the 2 of them.

Let's hope for a same response this time round if he doesn't start tomorrow.

 

Thing is

He shouldn't need to be dropped to play well.

 

RE: Thing is

Aye, he usually wander's in and out of games at time's and doesn't seem interested.

I know it's only pre-season but at Frickley a couple week's ago Bogdanovic got 1 and had 2 disallowed and hunted down every ball.

Macken was hardly involved, missed a sitter in the 2nd half from about 8 yard's and didn't look like scoring all game to be honest.

It does usually give him a kick up backside when he does get dropped though.

 

RE: Nothing official on that as far as i'm aware.

Norway is part of the EU so no once he's signed he's good to go plus with him been on loan his club pay him and we pay his club so he dont need a work permit as he's still working for the same people

 

sounds alright to me !

 

just shows we'd be screwed if moore or foster got injured. nt
