name whilst young full-backs Jordan Spence and Jordan Brown complete the

Unused: Robert Green, Pablo Barrera, Peter Kurucz, Zavon Hines (currently out of contract), Gary O'Neil (injured).
Interesting , Green unused , looks like hes a goner

Also interesting, but not surprising, Cole has only had 13 mins.........Sam don't like him either !!

The games will start to count now towards his starting 11, he knows how good Green is, but our next choice keeper is a bit of a lottery, maybe thats why Stech has played a bit more. The game against the Danes will be a better indication as to who is going to play against the Taffs, just hope he starts with greenie or i would have to agree with the blonde burd, he be a gonner :pale: which wont be good.

Im not blonde and I,m not a burd

Agree with Geezer you mean......unless he's sprouted blonde hair and gone funny

Edit...beat me to it Geeze.........Motty's so used to agreeing with me he got confused

I would say that the Real Zaragoza game will be the biggest indicator of the likely starting 11 against Cardiff

BFS's hands are tied financially I would suspect. G&S need to know what the wage bill will be after the transfer window closes before they commit to new players. It will no doubt be a last minute scramble at the end of August as usual :x
