I reckon Cocu providing the team with Thorne at RB would be like Mercedes providing Hamilton with tractor.

Me and my son will be there B4. Can't wait. Will be at Stoke on Saturday as well.

I quite enjoy it when Curtains goes off on a tangent, when he slips in an “Eh ? Where did that come from” ? moment. 

Namely the Rylan avatar.

A broken Mercedes saloon car would probably be nearer, not the right thing, and broken, but would've been nice in another context.

You did make me laugh though

Thorne hasn't got the pace to play the RB role the way Cocu wants and is supposed to be going out on loan. Shinnie is a left CM or LB. Can't see either playing at RB for us.

The RB Situation

We currently don't know how long Bogle will be out for. However, we can be fairly certain he won't be ready for this weekend's game vs Stoke. Therefore I see tonights game as a trial for Stoke. So far Stoke have used a 4312 (442 diamond) formation in their two games with the crosses coming in from the fullbacks. I see out full backs playing very narrow, not tested for down the wings but tested aerially. A RB comfortable in the air is what we'll probably go for, keeping Keogh and Clarke as our unbroken central defence partnership.

The Options

Evans, Bateman or Bennett seem the more likely options, given Wisdom, Holmes, Anya are all unavailable. Evans and Bateman would offer the greater positional awareness and aerial ability in defence, whereas Bennett will probably be utilised on the right wing to offer greater defensive cover. Evan's play time so far this season may mean Bateman gets the nod.

[RamNut]

Evans or lowe at right back. Probably lowe.

Fairly sure Bateman was not involved with u23s last night? Could mean he is at least on the bench but wouldn’t be surprised to see him at right back. It’ll be him or Lowe.

I just hope Marriott plays and scores.

I wish I knew the reason both Lampard and Cocu don't seem keen on playing Marriott.

I don't believe injuries are more than a bit part in their decisions.

Who knows????

Interesting choice of goalkeeper. I reckon we're only going One Direction with him in the sticks though. ?
