Indy 3,297 Posted July 16, 2015 Most of identify that the back 4 is one area for strengthening, but who do you think will push for the three midfield starting places?Wes, O''Neil, Howson, Tettey, Mullumbu, Dorrans, Vadis, Andreu, Thompson?What about Johnson, if Olsson is fit and Brady comes into the right do we slot Johnson into the central midfield given he scored so many last season?This is one area with some exciting choices.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted July 16, 2015 I think the play off semi final away leg at Ipswich offered a glimpse into what Neil might intend to do in many away games this season, when the emphasis will be keeping it tight, when he selected Howson over Hoolahan in an advanced midfield role,I can see first choice midfield being, Mulumbu TetteyRedmond Howson Brady/Johnson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 16, 2015 AN was happy to play with 5 centre mids at points last season, expect we will see that again more often in the upcoming one. Versus Derby AN went (from left to right)Johnson, Tettey, Hoolahan, Dorrans, Howson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,297 Posted July 16, 2015 Don''t you think Redmond is a shore bet for right wing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 16, 2015 I think Redmond will be rotated in and out like he was this season under AN.AN seems a horses for courses kind of manager so doubt there will be a ''first 11''. Can also see Redmond being played off a striker more, in a floating role rather than just stuck out of the wing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted July 16, 2015 I''d expect Andreu to be much more involved this season. I can easily see this midfield working:-----------------------Tettey--------------------Redmond--Howson--Andreu--Johnson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,297 Posted July 16, 2015 No Mullumbu or Dorrans in many people''s starting 11?For me I would start with Mullumbu & Tettey with Howson then Redmond and Johnson on the wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted July 16, 2015 I think Mulumbu and in particular Dorrans will feature quite regularly, and agree Redmond will be given more of a free role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
