Salford City (H) - Sat 11th Jan, 17:45 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[Goater=Legend]

Interesting line up, looking forward to it. Is there any news on Wright... Thought he would of made the bench.

 

[heslops barnet]

Don't do it to yourself pal, match on, volume off

Always do…..

 

[RobinHood]

Competition time - Which minute will they first refer to the cost of the sub's bench?

4 minutes

Pre-match.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Walker not in squad for 'tactical reasons'.

He's done.

Certainly done. Might actually go this month

 

[TinFoilHat]

I reckon Eddie has upset Pep, maybe slapped his head or something and this is payback

Thinks he's off to Saudi with Kyle.

 

[flook]

BBC's effort. TBH I'm not even sure Eddie will play in goal

I've had the feeling over the last couple of seasons that the two haven't always seen eye to eye.

 

[sh249]

Not sure what to make of that. Could it really be Nunes and Grealish at fullback??

Nunes—Simpson-Pusey—Ake—Grealish
—————O’Reilly / Gundo————
Savinho—McAtee—O’Reilly/Gundo—Doku
————————Mubama——-

Or could O’Reilly slot in at the back somewhere (but didn’t I read he’s more of an attacking midfielder??)

Going to be interesting at any rate!

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Very true , but he's been in that position either playing or from the bench, Why not today?

Pure speculation but he’s off to Saudi this month?

 

[Stelea]

What has Carson got to do to get a game?

 

[willipp]

Not once did I hear the commentators mention Nunez costing 70 million compared to the whole accy team costing 3 million. I doubt we make it to 10 minutes without it being mentioned at least 5 times.

 

[PragueBlue]

Hopefully Nunes at RB - he's got the attributes for it

He played there against the rags and let them back into it!

 

[Gazza]

What has Carson got to do to get a game?

Get 40 years younger?

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Certainly done. Might actually go this month

The only clubs in the world who would take his wages on, given his performances, are in Saudi. I don't see it happening.

 

[PragueBlue]

From what they're putting up on the big screen, it looks a bad three of Simpson-Pusey, Aké and Nunes.

Ake isn't bad ;-)

 

[Tricky_Trev]

O’Reilly and Nunes as inverted full backs so a 2-3-5 shape in possession, which we have done a lot this season.

——————————Ortega——————————
——————JSP————————Ake——————
——O’Reilly———Gundo———Nunes————

He played LB in that game

 

[Xhavenjoe]

If we are going to play a younger player, I'd like to see them in their natural position. Having i to guess where they will be playing prior to kick off is not great.
A weakened starting 11 is not beneficial to McAtee or O Reilly.

 

[bell_mcfc]

He’d be in the bench if staying. We are playing 2 defenders and he’s club captain. Something is up, even if he doesn’t go until the summer and we don’t see him again.

 

[Stelea]

Get 40 years younger?

He needs to kick in Pep’s office door on Monday and demand a move
