Whatever happened to listing our starting X1

Which minute will he be booked? I'm going for 18th.

I'll say the 26th. We ought to have a sweepstake.

How long is it going to be for Sheehan to see the light?

 

[lidojack]

The bench looks strong, but that's probably because 2-3 of them should be starting.

My biggest disappointment with this lineup is seeing Fulton
At first I saw the bench and was happy
Then I looked at the starting XI

Surprised to see Ben make a comeback though considering he saw zero pre season action

 

[Swansea Viking]

Nice to see Ben starting but isn’t that a risk with no pre-season action?

I hope they change it because just having the players numbers and a kids drawing of their face is rank!

Perhaps he played some part in the hush hush behind closed doors matches?

And Eom. I imagine both will be subbed pretty early

Hopefully.

Fulton is like a bad stain isn't he. You think you've got rid of him, but no he's still there. Always an even money shout for a red card. My only conclusion is he must know where all the bodies are buried, or he has photos of people. There can be no other explanation.

To be fair to him, he put in some decent shifts under Sheehan last season. Worrying that he seems to have reverted in the pre-season games to that ponderous, backward passing type of football we saw too much of when he was partnering Grimes, but he is capable of better.
Not saying you are guilty of this, but I think some posters may be having a go at Fulton as a proxy for Sheehan, knowing it is far too early to be expressing doubts about the manager but this allows them to criticise his judgement in selecting Fulton in the guise of criticising Fulton himself.
