After Saturday's win we would normally send out the same team and ask for the same again. BUT, with Nugent's suspension, Mellor's fitness, Wilson's half time substitution, Agyemang's form, Whaley's form out wide, etc, there's a lot to think about.

My starting line up would be:

Nash - Wilson, St Ledger, Chilvers, Alexander - Pugh, McKenna, Sedgwick, Whaley - Dichio, Agyemang.

Bench: Lonergan, Anyinsah, O'Neil, Jarrett, Mellor
 
Re: Tonight's Team

I think he might through O'Neil into the mid or JJ & play one up front & that would be DD for the first half & then Paddy brought on for the final 45 OR the other way round, but i think Paddy is more effective 2nd half when the opposition are tiring.
 
Re: Tonight's Team

I was down the training ground yesterday for an hour or so and Pat Agyemang was wobbling to his car and looked slightly pissed (Birthday maybe?) Brian O'Neil was in a similar state,the Pornstar was carried out on a stretcher by 2 YTS lads who dropped him onto Sean St Legers left foot (Very doubtful) Chris (MOM) Sedgewick left on crutches,Si Whaley fell out of his flash motor and landed awkwardly and was unable to drive so I had to give him a lift home (Wasnt too happy when I told him he was on the roofrack mind) Graham Alexander was last seen in a wheelchair heading off towards Mcdonalds,Kenna was having treatment to an injury picked up whilst standing on the half way line(off the pitch) and DD took a shot at goal and wacked Kenna full on in the face,busted nose etc,Danny Pugh landed very badly when practising not his corners but his triple back salsa with a tucked half pike.Suffering with a very bad case of gravel rash and is also very doubtful like the rest of them.Wilson and Ledger where heard on the moblie ordering a taxi to take them to Tens (Tuesday at 8pm)so they look very doubtful,
So that leaves us with Danny so we should be ok.
 
Re: Tonight's Team

i would play pugh behind ageymang and put lewis neal at left wing but it will be interesting to see who will be put out by simmo
 
Re: Tonight's Team

Once we moved Alexander to right back on Saturday we were able to hammer them up the right hand side. That led of course to Pugh's goal as he was unmarked on the left. I would therefore keep Hill at LB. I'd start with Dichio up front on his own and bring Paddy on for 2nd half.
 
Re: Tonight's Team

He could bring Jarrett back in and play Whaley up front with Dichio, leaving Agyemang on the bench.

I think Agyemang makes a big impact coming on from the bench in the second half against tired legs - but he deserves his chance to start after Saturday.

I totally agree with your midfield and strikers but we looked a better side when Alexander moved into his favoured position and Hill played at left back. I think the team will be:

Nash

Alexander, St Ledger, Chilvers, Hill

Whaley, Sedgwick, McKenna, Pugh

Patrick, Danny.

Mellor, Neal, Jarrett, Loners and Wilson on the bench.
 
Re: Tonight's Team

Ive said it before and i'll say it again, its staggering that kelvin is not a first choice, and that hes being shunted out to right back. I would go with saint ledger rb, IMO his future lies here rather than cb, although he can play there equally well, a la sergio ramos.

With Kevin Phillipps and Fatty Hartson up front i would have chilvers in for that bit of extra experience as Hartson has been playing the centre forward role for over 10 years and so wilson and the saint could struggle against him.
 
Re: Tonight's Team

Yeah, we need as much height, strength and muscle as we can muster.

I won't say this often, but I think Jarrett may be worth playing tonight, we're gonna have to fight and scrap to get anything.

I'd go with:

------------------Nash
Alexander, St. Ledger, Chilvers, Hill
Segdwick, McKenna, Jarrett, Pugh
------------Dichio, Whaley

Lonergan, Wilson, Anyinsah/Neal, Agyemang, Mellor/McCormack
 
Re: Tonight's Team

That would not be a bad side HL.

I think we will be seeing the Whaley Dichio partnership tonight, with an emphasis on keeping the game tight. This might be viewed as a little negative in a home match, but it seems necessary against one of the best sides in the division.

It will be interesting to see what WBA actually want from the game, in the prem they were known for being defensive and playing for points and so have become well practiced at it against sides which are better (with the greatest of respect to ourselves) than PNE. I fear for the game if they intend to leave deepdale with a point.

Be nice if they would view us as the Chelski of this division and put a complete reserve team out against us thinking they could not get a point here whatever they tried 🙂

Whaley cannot play up front, it just doesn't work when he plays there.
I'd give mellor an hour with dichio then bring paddy on to have a go ath them.
