Team for Cardiff

[wanderer24]

After thursday, this could be a very interesting selection from Stale. The bench is certainly going to be much improved.

Ikeme

Zubar Johnson Margreitter Ward

Pezko Davis Doumbia Boukari

SEB Doyle

Subs- DDV, Stearman, Edwards?, Sako, Sigurdarson, Nouble

 

[keoghs shooting boot]

----------------Ikeme-----------------

Zubar----Johnson----Margreiter----Ward

Peszko-----Davis----Doumbia-----Boukari

--------------Sako---------------------

-------------------Blake----------------

Looks powerful, pacey and skillful for me.

Possibly move Sako in place of Davis and put Doyle up top.

Or Whelan in for Davis if we do actually sign him.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Pretty much agree with that but Edwards in for Davis for me.

Ikeme
Zubar, Johnson, Margreitter, Ward
Pezsko, Edwards, Doumbia, Boukari
SEB, Doyle

Subs: De Vries, Stearman, Sako, Sigurdarson, Davis, Nouble, Elokobi

 

[Bugsy911]

Ikeme

Zubar Johnson Berra Ward

Pezko Edwards Doumbia Boukari

SEB Doyle

Subs- DDV, Stearman, Davis, Sako, Sigurdarson, Margreitter

 

[Sandwell Wolf]

Don't care about the others but I'd have Stearman at right back and Zubar as far away from the team as possible.

Ikeme
Stearman, Johnson, Berra, Ward
Peszko, Doumbia, Whelan*, Sako
SEB, Doyle

Subs: de Vries, Margreitter, Elokobi, Edwards, Boukari, Sigurdarson, Nouble.

*if we sign him.

 

[BigBadWolfie]

Ikeme

Stearman Johnson Berra Ward

Pezko Sako Doumbia Boukari

Doyle

SEB

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I'd like to see Sako, Boukari and Peszko in front of Henry and Davis, with Doyle as the loan striker.

What about Doumbia who is probably head and shoulders above everyone?

 

[Wolfion]

Ikeme

Zubar Johnson Margreitter Ward

Pezko Davis/(or edwards if fit) Doumbia Sako

SEB Doyle

Boukari isn't yet 100% match fit so he can come off the bench to begin with.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

What about Doumbia who is probably head and shoulders above everyone?

Oops, I meant Davis and Doumbia whilst Henry is out! Doumbia 1st name on teamsheet at the moment

I'm genuinely astounded as to how many people have got Zubar in their team...

[Essex Wolf]

Problem is SW who else is there whilst Foley is unfit?

I know Henry can cover at RB but is also injured and when fit is far better in midfield.

That leaves Stearman or Doherty. Stearman is okay when playing against opponents like last night, no disrepect meant but against better players is poor. Doherty is one for the future maybe.

Zubar on his day is a good player but has moments when he loses concentration and if he could sort that he would be a better player.

As such Zubar is best of a generally average lot.

 

[Sandwell Wolf]

I think Stearman is a perfectly solid right back, I'd have him there all day long over Zubar and even Kevin Foley.

I think RB is Stears best position by a mile. Too lightweight for centre half.

 

[wanderer24]

Stearman is a dreadful right back as proved every time he plays there. Foley, hurry up and get fit and find some form.

 

[Bevan]

Ikeme aside, I don't think any of the players who started on Thursday will start on Sunday.

So that means Margreitter and Boukari on the bench. I think SS will persist with Berra at the back for the timebeing.

Each to their own SW but Stearman for me is a decent RB at very best on a good day for him. Whilst he looked fairly solid last night he was hardly put under any real pressure. Against better opposition, which I've seen him face many times in the past, he looks slow, easily turned, gets out of position and clumsy.

Really glad you aren't in charge then.

Bit dodgy but i want to see both Sako and Boukari on the pitch. I don't want to drop Doyle or SEB because if they're both playing with confidence, we'll be pushing for the top 2 places.

I also want to see this team, but i fear its to much of attacking midfield and needs a davis/henry in there to support the defence and break up play. What a difference a week makes against derby sticking ward in midfield now we have a good selection dilemma

 

[Wolves in Limerick]

I anticipate Davis (if not on the team), Forde and Nouble will all be on the bench with at least one coming on during the game.

You'd put a winger/forward into a (generally) deep lying midfield role? You're off your head

Swap a striker for Davis in the middle and I think you'd see those three behind the striker a fair bit this season.

 

[IrchyWolf]

 

[Barnet Wolves]

why are most advocating 4-4-2? I thought that wasn't cool anymore?

I would go with the team from keoghs shooting boot

GK Ikeme

Thats the team I think Solbakken will put out, all who played (apart from Ikeme) from the start Thursday won't be starting against Cardiff IMO

 

[TheStalePolice]

i agree totally with this.

Would go 4-5-1 due to no Henry in midfield

[Taffywolf]

My team:

Stearman
Johnson
Berra
Ward

Peszko
Doumbia
Davis
Sako

Doyle
SEB

I think Boukary needs more games before he's ready to start, as SS said he hasn't played for 3-4 weeks. I thought Davis did enough in the 2nd half to warrant replacing Henry. He can sit in the middle allowing Doumbia to make the forward runs. Our bench is looking strong now:
Doris
Margreitter
Siggy
Boukari
Edwards
Zubar
Nouble

The manager has got some tough choices now which is great..

Cardiff home games are all beamed back to Asia
