We have 21 fit first team players, so a nice big squad to chose from

Not far out (but I have never got one right yet). I would have thought Dobbie would be in the starting line-up for Orlandi? I would include Buckley if he is fit.

Buckers is fit and raring to go according to the Argus.

Buckers is fit and raring to go according to the Argus.

seagulls.co.uk says he is not match fit, expect he will play 20 minutes tonight

 

[Nottseagull]

Match is on both Radio 5 Live and Radio 5 Live Sports Extra BTW.

Correction:
The biggest attendance against Sheffield Wednesday was 54,627 in the semi-final

I thought the gate at Highbury topped 55,000, beating the other semi at Villa park by around 9000. Either way, it was the most tightly packed crowd I can remember being in at a ground. (Apart from the toilets at Layer Road once.....just one entrance/exit; very scary!

 

[sir albion]

Is hammond a defensive midfielder or box to box as he doesn't score often?
Doubt gus will play possibily 3 defensive midfielders,dicker is defensive even though some say he's box to box
If dobbie and david are fit they should start as they're class players,orlandi i feel may actually start.

 

[sir albion]

seagulls.co.uk says he is not match fit, expect he will play 20 minutes tonight

After 2 weeks off who is match fit?actually after 2 weeks off i expected buckley to be 100% fit.

 

[Paris]

What a squad we have now. Great times ahead. I think there will be a fair few goals tonight. I saw from Sheffield Wednesday's first few games(league/cup) they went a couple of goals down and managed to come back, so i reckon it'll be 4-2 to the good guys.

Up the Albion!

Don't you remember? He was our captain once.

 

[sir albion]

Don't you remember? He was our captain once.

Do you know how many players we go through?
I asked if he was a defensive type midfielder or box to box that's all,cause i knew he was our captain

 

[Reinelt12]

I think the team will be...

Subs:

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Neither really more of a combative central midfielder but won't sit in front of the back 5 like bridders.

 

[SeagullinExile]

oh, great. This thread's a mess. In fact, it's worse than a mess, it's the thread version of Kerry Katona - It's all over the shop and no-one can make out what the hell's going on. We'll definitely lose now, probably 12-0

I would hazard a guess that Kerry Katona is in better shape as it goes.


This game as goals galore written all over it in all seriousness.
