Dan™ Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 P.S. Doesn't this kick off at 5pm BST? The OP has it down as 6pm, but that's Austrian time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedOwl Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I was talking to one of my Russian friends about this team the other day, she says that they haven't had a player worth over €1m since 2010 so maybe they won't be so good after all? Unless they are really good... then we can just take all their best players on the cheap Wow, a whole year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Interested to see how we will line up formation wise.We will see Prutton and Samedo both playing a holding roll as GM has illuded to. Will we therfore go with 2 wingers and 2 strikers in a 442 or will it be an attackcking mid, 2 midfielders and 1 striker in a 4231. Excited to get the preseason underway, would be nice to win but it is just important for the players to get to play in the manner that GM will be wanting from us this season.

BlueandWhiteOwl Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 This is nothing less than a must win game. It really could make or break our season. We can't let these Russians steal a march on us at the top of the league at this stage, we might never recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BoomTownOwls Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Presuming that we are going to play 4-2-3-1. Prutton and Semedo will be the two sitting midfielders. Who will get the central creative role? O'Connor? I hope he manages to find the marauding runs of Sedgwick otherwise Madine will get no service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 These are the type of games we need to be winning by 5 or 6 goals at least. Does anyone know when the flight back is and where it lands? If we don't comprehensively beat these russkies I think I'll form a welcome committee to show them how I feel. I'm practicing my BOOOOOOOOOing as I type.

Dan™ Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Wonder if Megson is the sort of manager who will try and bed in his best 11 as often as he can in preseason, or is he more for trying to give all the sqad lots of pitch time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Irvine pretty much pick a different team ever Friendly last year? Saying he still didn't know his best 11? I think this was a downfall for Irvine. It's ok for the first couple, but surely the last couple you should be looking at a settled 11? Maybe one or 2 changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Be nice is we had a few players on trial for the pre season games. Why do we never seem to do that anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark77 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 They'll be fitter than us, have better players than us and probably keep the ball alot better than us. So expect us to be chasing shadows for most of the game (Not a bad thing in pre season) and a comfortable defeat... Results are not important at this stage, they're a Russian Premier League side halfway through their season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
