    re: Who Are Your Central Midfield Pairing For Wembley??

    I really cannot decide on this.

    If pushed, I'd have to still leave Hughes out at the mo. He was fantastic yesterday, but the other 2 were playing well before the play-offs, and Will was slightly off form.

    As earlier poster said, I think who we play will have a bearing on this, too. SMC will have all the stats and analysis available to be able to deicde who will be most effective against who.

    Any combo tho and I'd not be too upset. Bryson still top dog for me tho, especially on that big ol' Wembley pitch.

    Re: Thorne - **** me, what a player!! Sign him up!!!

    They were immense yesterday, complimented each other perfectly, and EACH weighed in with a goal.

    No dilemna, same trio starting, and bring Bryson as an impact sub on if one of Hughes or Hendrick plays poorly / gets injured.
    Thorne is a guaranteed starter there's no point even discussing.[/quote]

    this.

    Not sure how you can drop a midfielder who has scored 4 goals in 5 games. I would play Bryson and Hendrick just because they have bundles of energy against a good but static QPR midfield. As good as Barton and whoever are in their midfield, they do not move from the centre circle. By having Hendrick and Bryson, we do not just have willing runners but also strong tacklers and are strong.

    Think Barton's job will to be to do a job on Hughes and at Loftus Road, he had in his pocket.

    Can anyone remember Chris Martin doing a job on Barton at home. At one corner he actually got him in a headlock and pulled him over - I think someone put footage on here - very amusing and he lost it completely!

    Simple really, it's not about individuals but which combination provides the best balance.

    So it has to be, Thorne-Bryson-Hendrick and Hughes on the bench to to come around 70 minutes in role to suit the game.

    It's a big pitch, so 3 of the players on bench will have an important part to play on the day.
