[Archived] Championship's England Team

[Stuart]

So, with our overpaid primadonnas in the PL not being up to much, if the England team was made up of only Football League players (Championship and below), who would be your 11 plus subs?

Bit of a rush job but can anyone improve on this?

Dann - Rovers

Shackell - Burnley

MF

Stanislas - Burnley

Barton - QPR

Good thread Stuart. I'd have Ince and Will Hughes in midfield rather than Stanislas and Marshall. Would definitely have Woodgate rather than Shackell as well.

Campbell makes reserve yet Rhodes is not included?!!

Edit!!! Forgot Rhodes is Scottish!

Campbell makes reserve yet Rhodes is not included?!!

This was my first thought as well, before remembering Rhodes is technically Scottish

[roversfan99]

McCarthy

Trippier Pearce Dann Cresswell

Ince Lansbury Barton Hughes

Nugent Ings

Rhodes isnt English

[LDRover]

Surely Dunny would have to be in as well. I'd have Eustace in as well so that's my 4 in midfield sorted. Robbo in goal and Ings and Nugent up front. Woodgate, Trippier, Cresswell and Dann at the back. Job done.

That's the Scottish Championship side

Good thread.

Robinson

Trippier Dann Woodgate Konchesky

Barton

Ince Lansbury Hughes Marshall

Ings

[longsiders1882]

Honestly Shackell is much better than woodgate as he is today.

Dunn, assuming fit, has to be in - can't be many better than him when he's fit and up for it.

[K-Hod]

Fair points Longsiders, I was also tempted to put Heaton in, as my Burnley supporting mates have been raving about him this term!!

[Bendrover]

McCarthy

Trippier Upson Wisdom/Dann Creswell

Barton

Ince Hughes Chalobah Phillips/Buckley

Vaughan

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Matty Phillips is Scottish if that's who you meant

Buckley is a good shout though, might put him in ahead of Lloyd Dyer

[Bendrover]

Forgot Phillips was 'scottish'. You could probaly come up with a good Scottish team that is actually English, e.g Rhodes, Bridcutt, Phillips, Cairney.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Yea you could.

Like you could come up with a good non-British athletics team or non-English cricket team.

That's probably different though.

[bluebruce]

Cairney is still eligible for England if he decides to u-turn. I think the OP is...somewhat biased towards Rovers and Burnley though. We are not the two best sides in the Championship.

if only England could compete as England at the Olympics *i know off topic* :-)

American-born, English raised, plays for the Welsh youth teams. Can play for any of the three. You'd think Wales would call him up and get him sealed for them, he's brimming with potential and Wales are crap. You'd think he could walk into their first team now let alone in the future, but not sure who they play at full back (he can play both sides remember).

Henley's American? I now know whose Rovers' shirt I'm buying next.
