Monty13 2,173 Posted January 18, 2020 Is Vrancic injured? Dropped from the match day squad is harsh although a strong bench compared to recently. Hanley as well, I personally thought he’d done better than Zimmerman in recent games. Overall though very happy with that selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,447 Posted January 18, 2020 Very attacking line up. I'm sure there will be lots of goals today. We must strike first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaltimoreBird 127 Posted January 18, 2020 Feel it's harsh on Vrancic. Midweek game to come, will perhaps see some changes then. Good team though we need to take this match from the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 512 Posted January 18, 2020 Unusual for DF to put a new signing straight in the side. He must be a proper step up from Maclean or Steiperman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 18, 2020 Fair play to Farke, Duda straight in and destroys the myth that he always bides his time with new signings. Strange Mario has been completely omitted, hopefully he’s just got a weekend bug or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 18, 2020 For Duda to come straight in, I’m guessing he must have looked very impressive in training this week, fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted January 18, 2020 Apart from McClean that’s a strong side, where’s Varncic.? I’d he not fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,927 Posted January 18, 2020 Yeah - I'm not sold on McLean being in - he hasn't shown much in recent weeks that warrants that imo - Would have preferred to see Vrancic in there, maybe Hernandez in for Cantwell/Buendia....  Strong side though.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted January 18, 2020 I'm calling it now...McLean has compromising photos of Farke ..barring Klose, a fully fit squad....Trybull Vrancic Leitner Amadou and even Rupp available but somehow we're back to McLean in a holding midfield position?!? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statistically the best defensive But more creative partner of Tettey/Trybull last season, and by far the best in the air. Having Tettey and Trybull would stifle the midfield too much so the best option we have to play next to Tettey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,232 Posted January 18, 2020 Strange for me too, McClean isn’t very good at defensive side of the game around our box, would have preferred Amadou, Trybull or Vrancic. Still it could mean only Tettey as holding and McClean further forward more attacking as we need to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 18, 2020 Mossy-it isn't really a myth about DF biding his time with new signings but agree it is good news. Agree about MacLean versus Vrancic. Also, Vrancic does take a good free kick around the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Il Pirata 249 Posted January 18, 2020 Happy Farke has picked Duda, but overall disappointed with the selection. Firstly, has to be Vrancic or Leitner next to Tettey especially at home. Secondly, no Hernandez again and essentially three number 10's behind Pukki. No raw pace or width. Relies too much on the fullbacks getting forward which leaves us vulnerable. Hernandez and Vrancic are game changes...Mclean and Cantwell are not. OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tired 102 Posted January 18, 2020 Is it true that this is the first league game this season where we've been able to name a CB on the bench? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,351 Posted January 18, 2020 Disappointed to see McLean back to one of the deeper roles. He's far too aggressive with his forward runs leaving us light in the middle. Ho hum. Come on lads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
