Davo 0 Posted August 11, 2017 I thought the lads at times on Tuesday played some wonderful football. Ignoring the set pieces! I''m sure we will sort that out. I like Farke thus far! What are your thoughts of the team V Sunderland - watching them last night V Bury, we should be ok....they didn''t look great!My team - 3-4-2-1 GunnMartin Zim FrankePinto Reed Maddison YanicHoolahan NaismithOliI think Naismith is back, if not, I would bring Tetty in and move Maddison forward. I haven''t rated Josh in the last two games and think he needs to be benched. I think it''s too early to start the new boys? I think Farke will play Husband though. Due to our current squad it''s hard to predict the team now!! Exciting times. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted August 11, 2017 We look a little suspect at the indeed, but sometimes the best form of defense is attack and I certainly think Hoolahan needs to start. Sunderland have some threats of course, but we have a lot of our own.I''d go with;GunnPinto Martin Zim Franke HusbandReedMaddison Hoolahan NaismithJeromeDon''t want to upset the back 5 which are still gelling, and as long as Pinto is fit he needs to start to get up to speed. I doubt the new guys will be thrown in this quick, given Farke''s comments, but I guess Stiepermann would be the most likely to feature. I think Oli will be back, but on the bench given the recent events and being dropped for the cup game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 495 Posted August 11, 2017 I''d be happy with either of these formats although I''d prefer to see Oliveira in place of Jerome in AJ''s line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coq au vin 0 Posted August 11, 2017 Surely we''d play Josh from start instead of Naismith given his suspension? Naisy will probs come on as sub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted August 11, 2017 I cant see NO starting anywhere except on a strong bench.3-5-1-1 Gunn Martin Zimmerman FrankePinto Reed Husband Maddison Wes Watkins Jerome SubsMcGovern Wildschut, Godfrey Tettey, Vrancic, Murphy, Oliveira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Apples 1,320 Posted August 11, 2017 I''m not sure Maddison and Wes will play together (Maddison to start, Wes on after 60/70 minutes). Wildschut to keep his place.Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildschut to keep his place.Apples[/quote]I think Wes influences a game more when he starts (ok, he did it last week from the bench..), but Maddison has started the season really well and has earned his place in the starting line up. I can see him, Wes and Naismith creating lots of opportunities for Watkins, Jerome and Oliveira. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted August 11, 2017 well it looks like naismith is likely to start - in place of watkins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jools 584 Posted August 11, 2017 Well, apart from ''Alfie54'' you''re all getting the starting formation wrong -- It''s a home game so Farke is likely to start with his favoured 4-1-4-1:GunnPintoZimmermannFrankeHusbandReedWatkinsNaismithVrancicWildschutJerome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,164 Posted August 11, 2017 I think he''ll put the same team out that started at Craven Cottage, with possibly Oliveira for Jerome.Nobody disgraced themselves. They all had their moments and it was a good team.Wes and Pinto and Naismith etc. can/will come on if needed or appropriate. We don''t want another tinkerman on our hands and it''s the use of the substitutes bench which is as important as the selection of the starting line-up nowadays.Farke is proving to be adept with his substitutions and tactical changes.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted August 11, 2017 Really not sure about about from what I''ve seen so far.....although still early days. Obviously a Webber oportunistic free transfer signing but sureky not one that Farke would have chosen to work with. clearly will drop behind Naismith and Hoolahan and eventually Pritchard, maybe useful out wide on occasion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 11, 2017 would go with Oliveira and nip that in the bud. pressure is on him to perform then. Josh out for naismith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted August 11, 2017 Fully expect Naismith to start, probably in place of Josh, otherwise unchanged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 500 Posted August 13, 2017 With Naismith doing the press conference he must be a certainty to start, Ive got £1 on him to score first goal and 31 on us winning 3-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 0 Posted August 13, 2017 Good luck Diane. I think he will start too. Think SN and Farke get on. Let''s hope SN live up to his transfer fee and start producing the goods. I actually think he should start in front of Josh who''s not been too good in the last couple of matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Wal 314 Posted August 13, 2017 Why, oh why, is everyone leaving Josh out?His type of play suits Farke''s team set up to a tee.All at once Wildschut is preferred by some.He is still the better twin and his brother is now a £12M player.Would we leave a £12M player out? (Even though many on this board wanted to, too often last season) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irrespective how much he may be worth. Last season SN was left out because he was not performing! I see where you are coming from and if we had the same opinion on everything life would be boring! Time will tell. I rate Josh but at present he''s not playing well IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
