jamie 10 0 Posted August 12, 2017 So what''s people''s thoughts on the starting 11?Do you think he will go with 3 or 4 at the back?Personally I would go with 4,2,3,1GunnPinto, Franke, Zimmerman, HusbandReed TettyMaddison, hoolhan, NaismithOliveiraAnyone know when Toffolo or Lewis are back from injury? I''m not convinced by husband so far.Still believe we need a quick/poacher type striker as an option up top, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,456 Posted August 12, 2017 I think he might switch to a back 4 as we didn''t seem comfortable in the three v Fulham. I''d goGunnPinto, Zimmerman, Franke, HusbandsReedWildschut, Vranic, Maddison, MurphyNelson. No idea what will actually happen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie 10 0 Posted August 12, 2017 I left out Watkins! I would swap Naismith with Watkins in my line up,I agree with you we looked a bit shaky at times against Fulham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted August 12, 2017 I''d imagine Naismith is likely to start given the comments in press this week.GunnPinto Zimmerman Franke HusbandReedWatkins Vrancic Wes NaismithJeromeProbably harsh to drop Maddison, but I think Naismith is the better option for starting the game. Maddison to make impact off the bench Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted August 12, 2017 Good shout to be fair Purple, he wasn''t great in the cup game. I just wonder if it''ll leave Reed too exposed to have so many attacking players in front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,456 Posted August 12, 2017 I can''t see Watkins, Maddison, Wes and Naismith all starting. Far too attacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted August 12, 2017 After midweek Wes and Maddison have to start, beyond that I couldn''t call it! Nice to have some options on the bench now though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

he 0 Posted August 13, 2017 Need a big response in the second half. This is toothless and nowhere enough effort Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jools 584 Posted August 13, 2017 A 3-5-2 requires two DM''s -- we have one in Reed who could be deemed a DM in the starting 11 -- Martin in a back line of 3 is never going to work -- Wildschut & Husband as wing-backs is highly questionable -- why isn''t our best striker in Oliveira in the front two?Please revert to a 4-1-4-1 or alternative formation for the second half and field players in their favoured positions.Thanks in advance [:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Time to go Delia 0 Posted August 13, 2017 Afraid these low cost lower level players are not looking so good now they are up against proper opposition . going to be a long hard season and for Christ''s sake buy a couple of strikers Jerome is as good up front as Martin is at the back .

Making Plans 929 Posted August 13, 2017 We''re going to concentrate on a run in the League Cup and we''re saving our best players for that. With a bit of luck we could could go as far as the 3rd round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
