if so, play him - not convinced by Elliot personally
When the team were heckled after the game last Saturday, he was the only one prepared to argue back.
The rest no doubt agreed with the heckler.
Keep him in.
At least he is up for it.
Just two players left from the XI that Pardew started when we beat Reading 4-2 last August ! (That's Bailey and Sam...otherwise nine changes - and to be frank not many of them for the better, IMO).
JonJo does seem out of favour... I was convinced he'd be back and he's not even on the bench.
Anyway,not going to follow it. Going to watch the test match. Windies now five done with 30 odd overs left. Could be a dramatic finish to the series...
Sorry, no Sam. The two I meant are Hudson and Bailey. Otherwise nine changes -that's a pretty astonishing change of personnel in the course of a single season, even given everything that's happened!
Contrast and compare. Which is the better XI? And if the two sides played each other, what would happen?... (apart from the fact that Hudson and Bailey would get very confused!)
Not really.. Par for the course this season.. I'm utterly devastated that Butter field is allowed anyway near the pitch considering his performance at the weekend.
[cite]Posted By: nigel w[/cite]Never mind commentary from the Madjeski. Turn the cricket on - we've got 22 overs to get the last four wkts. Turning into a real nail-biter !!!
Shame the Windies don't need to score any because Gayle and his runner would be nailed on to be run out!

I promised myself the same DA9 but here I am waiting for the match thread as usual to inflict it's misery. Why do we do it????

4-5-1 with ZZ in the hole. Kandol up top on his own.
Soares back so the same midfield 4 that did well as a unit pre-doncaster.
No Shelvey but Dickson back on the bench. Ambrose back as well.
No Kitson for Reading.
OK, logging off now. Back when we win : - )
Soares back in - Sam, Jonjo nowhere.
Dicko on the Bench with Ambrose and DD, Holls And Gandulph

Think those stats say quite a lot...
