Bluepooch set me thinking - Devongone - 12-09-2016
Pooch's list of former players who scored on Saturday set me thinking. I had some time on my hands and very soon I started contrasting the team that trotted out on Saturday to imaginary teams of our reserve players, injured players and former players. I ended up with a five-team tournament. I'm pretty sure Saturday's team wouldn't win it ...... or even come close.
As we used two subs on Saturday, I made teams of eleven players and two subs as follows:-
CHESTERFIELD SEPTEMBER
Fulton
McGinn Hird Anderson Donohue
Ariyibi Liddle Dimaio Gardner
Wilkinson
Evans
Subs: O’Shea Dennis - Manager Danny Wilson
THE PHYSIOSERVES
Lee
Graham Evatt Maguire Jones
O’Neil Angel Nolan
Mitchell Simons
German
Subs: Daly Morrison - Managers Ritchie Humphreys and Roger Wylde
THE OUT OF TOWNERS
O’Donnell
Darikwa Cooper Raglan Talbot
Morsy Ryan Clucas
Roberts Ward
Doyle
Subs: Richards Bowery - Manager - Paul Cook
STILL PLAYING
Chapman
Brindley Downes Smith
Boco Clay Randall Banks Devitt
Boden Gnanduillet
Subs: Slew Ebanks-Blake - Manager - Chris Turner
THE LOAN STARS
Carson
Hunt Wood Margreitter Grounds
Johnson Moussa Davis
Ajose
Leon Clarke Lee Novak
Subs: Gobern Kevan Hurst Manager - Martin O'Neill
I had to let Clinton Morrison play with one of our current teams though he's out on loan, and Aaron Downes is still at Cheltenham I think - though career-threatened. Apologies to all those players I've forgotten.
On a league basis I reckon it would be between Out of Towners and Loan Stars. Our side from Saturday might beat Still Playing but could even struggle with Physioserves. Whaddy'a think? (Gary McSheffrey didn't get a game because I'm not sure if he's at Donny.)

I agree Dev out of towners and loan stars would probably cancel each other out.
RE: Bluepooch set me thinking - bluepooch - 12-09-2016
Hows Talbot doing at Pompey ? Not heard anything recently
The Loan Stars should be the best really as usually a loan player is someone on a too high wage for us and we can only afford part of that wage which invariably makes him a better class player .

Talbot got injured in training last week and is facing several weeks on the sidelines last I read - hope that was a pessimistic report. I always thought Drew put in whatever he had on the day and gave us great loyalty. Wish we still had him!

Injured too often Dev.Doesnt surprise me the news from Portsmouth.
RE: Bluepooch set me thinking - Devongone - 14-09-2016
I realise he was getting fragile, but it does seem a bit like abandoning an old horse because he's slowing down.
