Match Thread York City vs Leicester City (Friendly)

[M17TT C]

Team for tonight:

Logan, Gallagher, Schlupp, Drinkwater, Taft, Moore, Knockaert, James, Wood, Nugent, Dyer.

Unsure on formation but it is looking like Gally may be at right back!?!

Good to see Nuge in there as I was expecting him to miss the start of the season after being on crutches and hopefully a few more goals for us tonight.

Also confirmed that Gally is at RB in a 4-4-2.

 

[Mawsley]

No Bakayogo.

Clearly too shit.

Who's on the left for York I wonder. An ex player of ours with a bit of pace will be rubbing his hands in anticipation.

Our very own 442 has tweeted that he has been impressed with PG at right back.

Half time now 0-0. Drinkwater, Nugent and Knockaert all came close to scoring.

He should make a pretty competent right back really. Bit more time and space, most of the pitch in front of him. He'd be hopeless defensively, but he's a clever enough footballer to play that position in an attacking team without embarrassing himself.

Even Stringer's giving PG a few good comments.

 

[FryattFox]

Sounds like he is single-handedly holding York at bay...

So he'd be cleaver enough at RB unless asked to defend!? Sure he's tidy enough with good control, but the complaints are usually to do with his being lightweight and inconsistent, not what you'd be looking for in defender; guess we'll find out.

 

[fox58]

just interviewed a city fan in the crowd, when asked about Gally playing at right back, he said they may as well try him there, as he's pretty useless everywhere else

Hopper on Taft off

 

[Volpone]

No Bakayogo.

Clearly too shit.

Not at all. Just not up to the right fitness level yet to play.

 

[FryattFox]

Not at all. Just not up to the right fitness level yet to play.

But that's why you play friendlies.

Nope, the only possible reason that he isn't playing is that Pearson has already realised he's too shit. That or they've had an argument, and he's been exiled from the squad already.

We may as well pay off his contract.

If anyone else is in, I'd be happy to chip in £20 or £10,000 to help LCFC pay him off.

Anyone?

From our very own LM...

"Bakayogo, who is not expected to feature in this week's freindlies (sic) as he builds up his fitness, said he is relishing the prospect of challenging Paul Konchesky for City's left-back berth."

So have we Gally at RB and Schlupp at left?
