Reserves v Saints won 3-2 Bignall hat trick

[shaka's shorts]

OS says we won 3-2 with a Bignall hat trick. Interesting team. Impossible to work out formation from the randon list on the OS. Here is my interpretation / best guess. Pretty attacking team and Henry and Bignall obviously now fit...

Hamer
Cummings
Isaac (who is he?) LB?
Pearce
McDonald

HRK (LM?)
Henry (CM?)
Taylor (CM?)
Bell-Baggie (RM?)

Bignall
Vasilev

[Ian Royal]

4-0-6 isn't it?

[ZacNaloen]

4-5-1 I think, but all that 5 are attacking midfielders.

[URZZZZZZZZ]

When's this Vasilev going to get good then? Heard rave reviews a year or so ago and nothing since!

He has been very poor every time I have seen him in youth and reserve games. Bignall and Bell-Baggie are much better IMO.

Id go with this assumption.

...................Hamer...............

Cummings....Pearce....Mcdonald........Isaac

.....Henry.........Taylor............HRK

Bignall........................Bell - baggie

Dolan

I think Bignall should be given a chance for the Burnley game, at least on the bench if not a starting place.

Absolutely zero chance of that happening now we have Thor.

We are going to need a reserve manager soon, assuming Dolan is standing in from the academy until mcD gets the job - Graeme Murty for the job?

Agreed, he was a big disappointment the 2 or 3 times i saw him play

Dont think the results or goals mean much when playing for the ressies but sure some will wet themselves on here about Bigs notching a hattrick

I don't think reserve team manager is actually a full time job, McDermott combined it with scouting both players an upcoming opposition.

[shaka's shorts]

agreed - couldn't Murts do that too?

[Pseud O'Nym]

agreed - couldn't Murts do that too?

I've no idea.

I gained the impression, over the last couple of seasons, that he was lining himself up a media career - a couple of appearances on MoTD, summarising on 5 Live when he was injured or Reading were playing midweek - but he seems to have disappeared this season.

Wasn't he on that new show last night? They said he was going to be on it at some stage anyway...

[M Brook]

He was and I think he will be a regular fixture - Late Kick Off, its called, well worth a watch.

Isaac is the default left back, much like McDonald is at centre back, except Isaac actually has some footballing ability.

I'd go for this midfield/attack:

ABB---Henry----Taylor----HRK
----------Vasilev---Bignall-----
However, I imagine it would be pretty fluid, all four "midfielders" can play on the wing and only Taylor is noted for ability to play in the centre.
