I would think the defence more or less picks itself - the only real question is whether Cook or Edwards starts. I expect Cook to get the nod but expect Ronnie to make an appearance at some stage.
As for the rest of the side, who knows? I'd quite like to see a 433, with Hayden sitting alongside Vale and Madsen, with Kolli and Smyth starting wide of Kone. Won't happen but it might be amusing.
I quite like the idea of never playing them again: I've heard of pub teams too hung over to play on Sunday morning phoning the league and claiming a 0-0.
There have been one or two modicums (modicii?) that stand out: * Walsh, since his return has been like a new signing. * Ronnie's back. * Some decent loans out (Morrison, Cooper, Lloyd) which might benefit the club in the future. * Despite the squad being struck down by plague, bad vibes and THE CURSE, we haven't plummeted into our usual tailspin. * Madsen's improvement hasn't been a flash in the pan. * Jimmy Dunne has been outstanding. * Everything Mbengue does makes me laugh. New Cult Hero.
'Der Tiger' on showing on Amazon was good. Modern-day Apocalypse Now. Irritatingly, they list the film as 'The Tank'.
Side note: the lead character has crushed his cap without removing the bloody stiffeners (the first thing you'd do if you wanted to crush the bloody thing!) No idea why I found that annoying - just did.
Side note (part 2): the mock up they did of a Tiger was outstanding! Genuinely brilliant. For armour-heads out there, check the track-width. It's actually an IS2 under that disguise! Compare it to the shocking T34 bodge they did in 'Private Ryan': it was like they'd got the props department from a 1985 Doctor Who to do that one!.
(Sorry - ranting. I have spent waaaay too long in the Tank Museum over the years. For reference, the Tiger in 'Fury' is the real thing. It's Tiger 131 from Bovington.)
Watch it in German with the subtitles - it's far better.
