Sam Allardyce has this evening given a very strong indication of the type of team he will be selecting for the Second Round Capital One Cup clash against Sheffield United.
In a separate story on this site he says that he can blood Sakho, Valencia, get Ravel [Morrison] back, Mo Diame in there, Diego Poyet, Guy Demel and Jussi Jasskelainen.
“That’s the kind of side I’m going to pick with a couple of young ones in.”
Here’s the team ClaretandHugh believes the manager will put out tomorrow evening: (4-4-1-1) Jaaskalainen, Demel, Collins, Burke, Potts; Sakho, Poyet, Diame, Vaz Te, Morrison, Valencia.
Gonna be there, from Swansea, with my oldest two… Looking forward to a good lineup! Last live game we were at was vs Cheltenham Town in same fixture last year – where Diarra was injured within minutes, Adrian made has debut, Vaz Te scored I think and was making gestures towards BFS as he was on verge of being sold if I recall! #coyi
It would be interesting to see Morrison playing the ‘Zarate’ role supporting Sakho, finally we have a creative attack minded player in the ‘hole’.
Im hoping young elliot will get a chance maybe play 2 up top sakho/valencia?
