Just how do you pronounce N'Gog?

OK, so preseason starts this Wednesday, with the White's mini tour of Scotland.  One player, however, will be having a different preseason altogether.  Marvin Sordell's preseason will be spent with the Olympic GB football team.



While a great opportunity for MS, the GB squad isn't BWFC.  Preseason is the time when OC can see which players gel together, what positions and formations are strongest for the players we currently have.  How is OC going to know how to use MS without seeing him play with the rest of BWFC?  Marvin is going to have to show the UK and OC his form through the few Olympic matches GB play in.  Assuming he's played, and I don't see why he shouldn't be given a chance, his U21 England record is very good.


So what options are we left with for preseason?  N'Gog and SKD.  Both have a good amount of footballing experience and should shine in the Championship (touch wood).  But what's the best way to play them?  SKD in a holding position just behind N'Gog?  Or maybe N'Gog playing the lone striker with five in midfield?  I've mentioned before that I would prefer a lone striker, however, that striker needs to be on form and dangerous, able to hold up the ball and get in the box ready to receive any crosses floated in.  Does N'Gog fill that role?  The dream scenario would be that N'Gog and Sordell are the dream partnership, and both reach double figures this season (and win us the title).

Either way I'm looking forward to preseason and the Olympic football, here's hoping Sordell can really shine and bring that confidence into the BWFC squad.

So any thoughts on what formation you think would suit us best?  Who would you have up front?  Feel free to leave your comments.
