Title: Val Owen

Alty's Patrick Viera?


Should he be put in the current starting XI and if so at whose expense??

Well if he were to be in the team, it'd be ahead of Robbie or Danylyk, and even though Robbie took some stick earlier in the season, the current team seems settled and, the last couple of games aside, has been winning.

There's obviously a case for him to at least be on the bench though, as maybe he was the type of prescence we needed against a physical team like Histon

But at the moment, i think we should stick with what we've got.

I agree with Phil, out of the injury frying pan into first team fire? nope. We no way can drop our club captain nor midfield dynamo, but a great asset on the bench along our Wozza, I'd be well happy with Val there as another strong option should changes be required during the match.

Sticking my neck out here but Val has been great servant and a fine battling player. This league is tough and unforgiving. I'd like to see Val play some part for us but being realistic it will be as a bit part, likely a late sub to firm things up as required. I really do hope he can have a swansong.
