The problem is for Pacheco... I'm not saying he will fail, but this is a huge ask. To play in a 2nd string side, away in th e freezing cold etc etc, it's hardly the best environment to put in a great display.

It might well be that he's one of many players who don't really get going and then Hodgson can turn around and say "well, I gave him a chance".

He's being frozen out until January when he is being dumped.  Listen to me goddamn it.  Frozen out because he's not English and he doesn't have a head like an owl.  All because he was late taking Royston his horlicks one day and because he was to blame for the Northampton debacle, well him and Rafa but you know what I mean. More frozen out than an England WC bid

He will be frozen tonight. Roy's a sneaky devil causing this cold snap so he could send poor Danni out there to get a cold. I bet he stole his gloves, too.

Best way would be relaxed in an easy chair with a scantly clad bikini model giving you beers and head.

I've tried similar and it's almost impossible to keep your mind on both things, either you miss a goal or she thinks she's not doing it for you when you aren't hard enough :-X

I can see a 4-4-2 with Pacheco off Babel, or perhaps Cole off Babel with Pacheco on the wings. Expecting a 4-4-2 at least.

He should not be judged on this game alone and he wont be but he has his shot. He needs to be able to deliver under pressure.

Big game. Big chance for him under a new manager.

I really hope it goes well for the lad.
From here on in its all FSG's doing. Good or bad they will stand or fall by the decisions they have made in the summer of 2012. Lets hope they have gotten it right.

If he is made of the right stuff he will thrive. If he aint he wont mate.

Thanks goodness Lucas is on the bench.  Hope he stays there safe and sound ready to return at Villa on Monday night.  We need him in the premier league as he is an essential first team player now.  Would like Aurelio to come through unscathed to, so he can replace PK as the rightful LB!

Hope we don't get another Northampton experience (although maybe that will be a  blessing in disguise with regards to fixture congestion)  The line-up has a mix of youth and experience, so will be interesting to see how they go.
Rossiter absolutely bossed it tonight. Really believe he'll end up playing more games this season than Lucas.


Henderson won't make it here. Sorry but he won't and won't

In one game though? Roy has piled it on him with his treatment of the lad.

Kelly-Soto-Wilson-Aurelio
Shelvey-Poulsen

if cole and pacheco can "interchange" that is a very well balanced side in my opinion.

Cheers, i thought that was sopcast type stuff when you posted it before

They generally do a mash of links, sopcast, veetle, tvu, web links depends on what stream are available. Pretty good site though.

That's true enough but I'm going to take a positive.

Seems Roy likes a settled first eleven and it's games like these are the only way to get in.

Just hope it goes well for him. He certainly has the ability. He needs to take this chance and grab it,.

I always through Shelvey was an attacking midfielder/second striker. Why is he playing midfield?
