City Line Up For Doncaster
The City team for the friendly at Doncaster has just been announced:
Isaksson
Richards
Ball
Onuoha
Dunne
Ireland
Dabo
Miller
Vassell
Samaras
Mpenza
Subs: Johnson, Dickov, D Mills, Hamann, Hart, M Mills, Corradi
Sven seems to have been true to his word about putting out a strong line-up rather than sending a load of Academy players.
The side does seem to have a very familiar look about it though, with new signings Bianchi and Fernandes joining up with the squad for the pre-season Sweden tour.
After the last season, how many of us thought we'd see the likes of Dickov, Dabo, Hamann, Mills & Corradi in a City shirt again?
Let's hope we do better than last time we played Docncaster.

Can't understand the subs bench at all. Johnson was one of last seasons' bright spots and should be starting. The rest should not be seen in a city shirt ever again. Surely, games like these are for blooding a few youngsters? Some of the Academy lads promoted to the first team squad will probably be feeling a bit hacked off when they saw the team sheet
Apart from Joe Hart - sorry, I forgot him, but forget the rest
It seems obvious that Sven is using the friendlies to see if the established players can still hack it before making wholesale changes.
Glad to see his new signings are young promising players rather than pensioners looking for one last pay day.
