I'm sure Sami is reading this and taking notes as we speak.

Sadly it's not about what the fans want. It's about what's best for the team and whilst I'm sure all our fans have the teams best interests at heart but we only see it from our own inexperienced point of view. It's all well and good demanding that Sami starts him but if he's not fit he's going to be more of a hinderence than a help. Better to be used as a sub and play the last 30/40 minutes than play him from the off and have him be out of steam 30 minutes in.

He should be in the team.

It is not often that we have a player in our squad with God-like genius, but Paddy is clearly from another dimension.

Please play McCourt. Paddy McCourt.

i want to see him given 30+ minutes in the second half. 10 and 7 minutes are not long enough in my opinion.

Amen to all the above... a huge part of watching the Albion these days is the tantalising possibility that he might come on and I'll see a player that reminds me of how I felt when I first fell in love with football as a kid...a magical thing! More than 5/10 mins Sami, please!!

I would sooner that he didnt start and we went into the last 30 mins at least level then perhaps bring him on to try to win the game.. Starting him may be too adventurous.= ad leave us open at the back and we all know what Vydra can do if that is the case.

who are you leaving out ?

Please dont say Caskey, they dont play the same role

Thankfully he is suspended.

That said, in the press conference it sounds like Sami is considering Augustien as he has recovered from his injury. I just hope this means the Derry Pele starts & the Dutch Belly sits on the bench.

If he's not fit enough for 90 minutes, why do you think he would be more effective in the last 30 minutes than he would be in the first 50 or 60? Your argument just doesn't add up. Stick him on from the start - if he's out of puff by the time we're two or three up, what would be your problem?

I must have been dreaming, but for a few short days I imagined we'd loaned out Agustien for the season................

Dead right, start him and let him put us in a winning position (hopefully) rather than stick him on late when we're chasing the game and then expect miracles.

We're in danger of going a bit Braveheart with Paddy McCourt aren't we.

I heard that if Sammi plays him he'll consume all the other teams with fireballs from his eyes and lightning bolts out his arse!
