Kenyon?

 

[Sammyjunn]

Prefer Boonen to Chong to be honest, although Chong gives the team a bit more physical strength.

 

[khoazany]

Kenyon?

Is he fit?

Since Boonen was with the U23s on Friday I think it has been decided that he won't start this game.

I presume so. He missed the last game through suspension for the red card against Liverpool not through injury

Hamilton?

So probably Barlow won't even make the bench then. Some depth.

Great to see Hamilton in the starting line-up! 4-1.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

I reckon our lads will suffer from high expectations, but I'm still expecting a win. Maybe 2-1. Southampton won't be pushovers.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Chong on the bench? Thats disappointing

 

[spenzo]

Well just from looking at them it's obvious Southampton have the physical advantage.

 

[limerickcitykid]

WIlliams injured?

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Rivers?

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Gomes on the wing, another thing i dont like

 

[FromTheBench]

What a miss by Gomes.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

Good play from Bohui initially.

Gomes misses what is basically a sitter after some good control to set himself.

 

[lysglimt]

That is one for Youtube unfortunately

 

[lysglimt]

Anyone remember which low-level team that knocked us out some years ago ... some bizarre result with a striker on the opponent team getting a hat-trick I think ?

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

That was still in play. Just.

Burnley. Lost 4-3. Hat trick for Jason Gilchrist.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

O'Connor hits the bar. Great header.

We're doing our best to emulate the first team.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

Magical feet from Buffonge. Bohui earns a corner from his effort.

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

I think Gribbin plays too arrogantly at times. He slows the play down unneccessarily. A few quicker passes would serve him and the team better.

We've played well and should be in front. Bohui, O'Connor and Buffonge are the standout players for me so far.

 

[khoazany]

Have to say I'm pretty annoyed by the line-up. The midfield two should be 2 out of Hamilton,Whelan,Buffonge. If Boonen is injured Chong should have started. This line-up is a bit of trying to fit all the older lads into an XI.

Most annoying part is that we sacrificed Gomes because of Gribbin even though the first one is already a better player. If you move anyone to the wing its Gribbin who already played there numerous times....

ah thanks!

 

[spenzo]

Penny for Jose's thoughts...

Who now plays for FC united.

 

[dichinero]

Surely Gomes is more suited in a central position as opposed to Gribbin

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

Poor sub choice.

 

[dichinero]

Unless an injury its a baffling sub choice

 

[khoazany]

Why we always make things harder for ourselves?

 

[WhoDaGOAT]

World class finish by Chong. 1-0.

 

[Drainy]

WHAT A GOAL

 

[spenzo]

What a goal!

 

[khoazany]

What a fabulous goal from Chong. Good long pass from Gribbin to Kenyon as well.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Reminds me of Lingard vs Chelsea that goal.

 

[backofthenet]

Great goal. Fantastic technique

 

[SirAnderson]

Cracker of a goal from Chong!
