Michael Bates 9 Posted July 31, 2016 Is that what you think AN will play or how you want him to play?I''ll choose a starting 11 i''d like to see if McCormack isn''t signed in time...4-2-3-1 :McGovernMartin Bennett Klose OlssonTettey DorransCanos Howson HoolahanJeromeThat can also be translated to a 4-3-2-1 :McGovernMartin Bennett Klose OlssonHowson Tettey DorransCanos HoolahanJeromeIf he is a canary before Thursday''s training session... 4-3-1-2 :McGovernMartin Bennett Klose OlssonHowson Tettey DorransHoolahanMcCormack JeromeAnyone who thinks Pinto is the answer at RB... He is an absolute defensive liability. He may be less likely to be found out in an attacking Champs side, but with the players in attack, i''d rather have a steadier defensive full back and R Martin is better defensively than Whittaker IMO..

westcoastcanary 173 Posted July 31, 2016 Is Dorrans available? Looked to me as if he came off with a groin injury yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigManInTheBarclay 75 Posted July 31, 2016 1st match of the season and almost nobody has listed many of the younger players as starting (or even on the bench)If we play the same team/tactics as last season i really don''t think we are going to improve much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted July 31, 2016 It''s not what I would start with, but AN is under pressure and he goes to his old players when under pressure.....I''d love to see young pace wingers with Maddison included off the bench, but I just can''t see it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted July 31, 2016 Ruddy Pinto or Martin if fit ,Klose, Bennett, Olsson, Tettey, Howson Maddison Hoolahan, Naismith, McCormack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted July 31, 2016 [quote user="SwindonCanary"] Ruddy Pinto or Martin if fit ,Klose, Bennett, Olsson, Tettey, Howson Maddison Hoolahan, Naismith, McCormack.[/quote]Could go along with that line up. It would be good to see more youngsters in there but I suppose you have to look at it as a gradual development which means the team will probably similar to last season. So - for me it would be with one youngster in there - RuddyPinto Martin Klose Olsson Howson TetteyMaddison Naismith Hoolahan Jerome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foxruels 1 Posted July 31, 2016 I''d be surprised if McCormack starts for some time. Knowing how Neil is with fitness he won''t make the squad for the first few weeks at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,561 Posted July 31, 2016 West Ham and Koln mentioned, but would be surprised if we sold him and Brady at this late stage unless we''ve got a replacement lined up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ollson will be gone by Friday. Why do you think Ollson will be gone mate, and where is he going? Because WHU are interested and need a left back urgently, ollson doesn''t want to play another full season in the championship having made the left back position his own for his national team, and yesterday he looked as if he''d already left! Not only that but a second club, FC Kone from Germany, are also very keen and are a reasonable bundesliga side finishing ninth last season. Coupled with the fact he wasn''t first choice for NCFC last season with only 26 appearances, (injury induced partly) I think you will find he is looking to move on and unlike others recently offered new contracts, with a year to run, he hasn''t!

6088m canary 0 Posted July 31, 2016 Considering how everyone knows Wes doesn''t fit well on the left side, why is nearly every XI with wes out on the left.Naismith is the one that needs to win the central role. Wes starts in the #10, centrally. Naismith can play left and cut in on his right foot, or can come off the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rock bus 851 Posted July 31, 2016 Agree with above.Wes appears to have come back from the Euros on fire.He should therefore be played in his favourite position.If, and it''s a big if for me at the moment, Naismith is selected then he should be the one played slightly out of position.Hopefully longer term Naismith or Maddison will be able to come in for Hoolahan in the centre when he inevitably loses some form at some point during the season.

norfolkngood 1,087 Posted July 31, 2016 i agree Wes must play in middle he will be fantastic running or threading balls through at this leno square pegs in round holes this season please unless injury it is forced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrdi 373 Posted August 1, 2016 I actually wouldn''t be against Steve Bruce, tbh. Other than the fact you''d need to add Alex Bruce to the starting 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
