Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 15:25:43 No one's done this already have they? I'm sure I've not seen one. So then - What do you reckon?
Here's my guess: P Smith J Smith Ifil Blackburn* Vincent Roberts Adams Easton Zaaboub Peacock* Sturrock/Arrieta/Mohammed* *I can't see Aljofree taking any part. A hamstring takes at least two weeks to recover from. You can't play through it and if he tries to he will end up being out for a month or something. If Nicho had been fit I think he would have moved Vincent into the middle instead of Jesus and Nicho would have played LB. *Sturrock indicated in his update that he would be playing the Cock up front. *Not sure who will play along side Peacock. Most likely I guess would be Sturrock Jnr with the other two on the bench. So subs on that basis I suppose would be: Brezovan, Comminges, Arrieta, Mohammed, Allen (or one of the other kids or Pook) Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 15:30:58 P Smith
Comminges Ifil Blackburn/Aljofree (if fit) Vincent Roberts Pook Easton Zaaboub Sturrock Arrieta Subs Brezovan, J Smith, Mohammed, Adams, Blackburn(if Aljofree is fit), or Ridgely(if Aljofree isnt fit) or pos Peacock if he is fit....a lot of fitness doubts there! Cant see Aljofree, Nicho or The Cock being fit tho. Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 15:33:31 Not sure who will be picked but this is who i would pick:
Brezovan J. Smith Ifil Blackburn Vincent Roberts Easton Peacock Zaaboub Sturrock Jr Arrieta With P. Smith, Comminges, The Prophet, Adams, Allen on the bench Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: FlashGordon on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 15:41:50 If he fancys a gamble and attacking full backs, Comminges could start at left back, with Vincent at centre bk ala where he performed end of last season
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Colin Todd on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 15:44:16 Brezovan
J Smith Ifil Blackburn Vincent The minge Adams Easton Zaaboub (play well you cunt!) Peacock Sturrock Jnr Subs The prophet Harry Eta P smith Someone Roberts Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: The_Plagiarist on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 15:47:26 I'd probably go with the following:
Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Subs: Smith Smith Smith Arrieta Smith :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 16:03:08 Quote from: "Colin Todd" Harry Eta I like........................I like a lot ! Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: herthab on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 16:05:35 Everyone (Myself included) has bemoaned the lack of flair and inventiveness in the squad and to that end Sturrock must play Comminges.
From what I've seen, he's got more trickery than Zaboub an end product........... And doesn't fall over so much :D Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 16:22:45 Quote from: "Fred Elliot" Quote from: "Colin Todd" Harry Eta I like........................I like a lot ! wasnt she one of the borrowers? Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 16:49:10 We could go with a back for of:
J Smith Ifil Vincent Comminges Would be a risk letting both Ifil and Blackburn loose together first game of the season... Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 16:50:26 Sturrock pretty much says until Corr comes back Peacock is up front!
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 17:02:59 Smith
Comminges Ifil Blackburn (assuming Aljofree can't play) Vincent Roberts Easton Adams Zaaboub Peacock Arrieta Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Fred Elliot on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 17:05:48 Quote from: "Rich" Smith Comminges Ifil Blackburn (assuming Aljofree can't play) Vincent Roberts Easton Adams Zaaboub Peacock Arrieta Thats the one Rich Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 17:18:00 Indeed it is. I'd like to see Arrieta start. Think he has the potential to get a goal or two.
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: DV on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 17:32:33 Smith
Smith Ifil Blackburn Vincent Roberts Pook Easton Zaaboub Peacock Sturrock Looking at that, I'm suddenly less confident :| Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 17:40:17 Quote from: "The_Plagiarist" I'd probably go with the following: Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Smith Subs: Smith Smith Smith Arrieta Smith :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: At least you found it amusing :wink: Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: lebowski on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 20:39:29 i'm taking my boots along just in case
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 20:45:16 Code:
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Jamie05 on Thursday, August 9, 2007, 22:01:59 I think if Aljofree's out (which I think he will be) it gives Sturrock the chance to play Comminges, so Jack Smith to left back
P Smith Comminges Ifil Vincent J Smith Roberts Easton Adams Zaaboub Peacock Sturrock Subs: Brez Blackburn Arrieta Mohammed Pook Low scoring game - but a point or nick all three. Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Richard4acre on Friday, August 10, 2007, 06:50:41 Common Sence wuld suggest that Arrieta has to start, why on earth would you leave your in from goal scorer on the bench! I think...
Brezovan Smith - Ifil - Vincent (c) - Commignes Roberts - Easton - Adams - Zaboub Peacock - Arrieta Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: fatbury on Friday, August 10, 2007, 07:15:13 I think Sturrock will go with this
Smith Smith Blackburn Ifil Vincent Roberts Pook Easton Zaaboub Peacock Sturrock Subs Brezovan Comminges Adams Arrieta Mohammed Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Northern Red on Friday, August 10, 2007, 12:12:06 Arrieta has to start - 5 in 5 says he's on form (okay, it's in friendlies)
Just look at Sturrock scoring streak (including the said friendlies) I like the idea of a 5 man midfield with Peacock drifting up front at times to join Arrieta. I'd like to see them go for the 0-0 first game away - right now I'd take a point... Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Luci on Friday, August 10, 2007, 12:18:36 I fully expect Sturrock to play Blackburn in place of Aljofree and expect Arietta (like most) to start.
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: reeves4england on Friday, August 10, 2007, 12:48:14 Brezovan
Smith Ifil Blackburn Vincent Roberts Easton Adams Boob Peacock Arrieta Subs: P Smith, Comminges, Pook, Mohammed, Sturrock The only reason I've got two strikers on the bench is because I can't think who else would get picked! I must admit I've nt seen Comminges play so he could well get in the team for all I know Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: the goat on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:11:05 i think brezovan will start
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:14:30 Quote from: "the goat" i think brezovan will start Yeah, Sturrock's gone on about selling etc. Brez is a more sellable asset so we have to put him in the shop window. That's one way to look at it at least. Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:14:42 Code:
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:17:57 Quote from: "Samdy Gray" Code:
Given that our most experienced CD is out that looks like a possible, allows Adams and to an extent Easton to break up the play before troubling Ifil and Blackburn, not so sure about Sturrock on his own though, but then his runs give the Cock the space to get forward... Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: the goat on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:21:19 how the hell are you going to create any chances with a team like that?
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: DV on Friday, August 10, 2007, 18:25:31 Quote from: "the goat" how the hell are you going to create any chances with a team like that? we arent..... Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, August 10, 2007, 19:27:48 Looks a bit like my formation Sam. I must be wrong :wink:
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 10, 2007, 19:42:25 I predict that this'll be Sturrock's first XI.
1. Phil Smith 2. Jack Smith 3. Jamie Vincent 5. Jerel Ifil 17. Chris Blackburn 8. Craig Easton 7. Christian Roberts 19. Michael Pook 4. Lee Peacock 21. Blair Sturrock 11. Sofiane Zaaboub Subs 1. Peter Brezovan 14. Miguel Comminges 18. Steve Adams 20. Kaid Mohammed 22. Ibon Arrieta Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, August 10, 2007, 19:51:12 I won't be happy if we play that crappy 4-5-1 formation.
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: reeves4england on Friday, August 10, 2007, 20:35:22 Quote from: "Rich" I won't be happy if we play that crappy 4-5-1 formation. Worked against Walsall last year! We played well that day.Not to say it will work every time though I must admit Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, August 10, 2007, 21:24:25 Quote from: "Rich" I won't be happy if we play that crappy 4-5-1 formation. Well, let's hope we don't play it then. I hate the thought of you being unhappy Rich 8) Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, August 10, 2007, 22:26:48 I also like the way people have picked subs for a starting XI adds a touch of extra pointlessness that the TEF is all about. Evens up the footy stuff I guess.

Worked against Walsall last year! We played well that day.Not to say it will work every time though I must admit 1 game. That was all. Not seeing us play that all season. If we do we'll be lucky to score 20. Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Dazzza on Saturday, August 11, 2007, 00:26:47 Is Arrietatataaaaa our first Spanish player at the club?
He's going to score tomorrow I can smell it. Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Amir on Saturday, August 11, 2007, 00:30:31 hopefully he won't start his son over Arrieta. He might not be ready but he's best thrown in to see what happens. The rest of the team sort of works itself out IMO. If only we had more options on the wings....
Title: Starting XI for Northampton Post by: Dazzza on Saturday, August 11, 2007, 00:38:11 Sturrock certainly doesn't seem to keen though. Out of all of the trialilsts he's not made a positive comment on the fella once yet.
