Team for tomorrow?

[stfcinbmth]

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think that.....I wonder though if he will bring back Smith to free up a foreign slot

Would be nice to see Gabilondo. Guess it will be a surprise tho

[Swindon Please Win]

Have Gabilondo and Esajas been injured? why has De Vita been playing left mid, seemed very ineffective out wide.

Team i'd like to see :

Lazano
Caddis
Flint
Devera
Kennedy
Ritchie
Ferry
Smith
Gabilondo
Magera
Kerrouche

[Barry Scott]

Wouldn't mind seeing Gablindo and Cibocchi down the left, along with Flint in at CB.

[knifey spoony]

De Vita's done fairly well on the left, but I think it's time we stuck a proper winger out there, especially at home. Gabilondo deserves another chance.

[sonicyouth]

Four out of 16 isn't difficult, is it? I'd go for...

Lanzano

Caddis (HG)
Flint (HG)
Devera (HG)
Kennedy (HG)

Ritchie (HG)
Ferry
J Smith
Gabilondo

Kerrouche
Connnell

subs: P Smith (HG), Comazzi, Cibocchi, Esajas, Magera

[Benzel]

I don't think Caddis counts because he came through in Scotland, sy.

[sonicyouth]

oops... I knew that!

It needs to be 6 out of 16 home-grown now - was 4 out of 18 last season but the home grown rule was changed at the same pre-season meeting that reduced subs from 7 to 5.
That's why De Vita came in for Gabilondo at last minute against Rotherham.
Not relevant as he's unavailable this week but McCormack doesn't count as home grown as he played in Ireland until after his 18th birthday.

According to the adver the rules are:

To qualify as home-grown, players must have been registered with an English or Welsh professional football club for at least three seasons prior to their 21st birthday.

But they list McCormack as home grown:

Against Burton Albion last Saturday, Di Canio included nine players in his squad that are classed as home-grown. Callum Kennedy, Joe Devera, Matt Ritchie, Raffaele De Vita, Jon Smith, Alan Connell and Alan McCormack all started the game, while Miles Storey and Phil Smith were on the bench.

Wiki have him registered at Preston in 2002

[cheltred69]

I was going from a radio interview with PdC after the Rotherham game where he said that McCormack wasn't counted as home-grown.
have now looked up his stats at Scoccerbase.com which records him as signing for Preston in Dec 2002, shortly before his 19th birthday so he wouldn't have had 3 full seasons in England before end of season in which he turned 21.

Not like the adver to be wrong
