Pretty strong. Interesting that Dawson's getting a second game in two days, as he played at Rochdale last night as well.

Havent heard Lallana mentioned yet...is he playing ?

 

The WBA guy said most of our play is coming from the right via Richardson and Chamberlain.... so maybe he's just not seeing much of the ball at the moment.

Does anyone think Adkins knows his favoured starting 11 yet? I'd quite like to be seeing some settled starting 11's in these friendlies by now.

 

NA has said that pre-season is about getting the entire squad in shape so that on the Friday before the Leeds game he has a full squad to choose from. He has also said pre-season is about trying out different ideas and different combinations. The squad are together all week and train together all week, they work together and know each other. Come the season proper we will be unlikely to field the same side two weeks running due to injuries, suspensions, etc. We are constantly told that football is now a squad game, there is no such thing as a first eleven. I'm afraid you are unlikely to see a 'settled starting 11' for a while yet! I guess that is modern football.

Maybe an established Prem player read Chamberlain's comments about how he should be playing in the Prem and wants to be in the England setup, even though he only has half a decent season in L1 under his belt, and the established Prem player thought he would bring him down to size a little bit. Just a thought.
