cambridgeshire canary 7,797 Posted August 13 Team news in. Stacey, Hills, Warner and fisher at the back. Forson gets his first start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,736 Posted August 13 Hills getting a start good to see. Kamara leading the line again is interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad 235 Posted August 13 Well I am so disappointed, unless this is the team expected to play this coming Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 4,272 Posted August 13 Stacey at LB? Or Fisher? Presume the 2 new lads not really close if they're not even on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

River End Rocker 117 Posted August 13 Pleased with the line up. A great opportunity for the midfield to sort themselves out and hopefully some viable alternatives to Duffy / Hanley will be highlighted.   2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on his second half performance last week, hoping Forson will boss this game. We can only hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wr4sb 66 Posted August 13 Presumably the midfield 3 need playing time together, so will be Saturday's midfield 3.  Sainz maybe needs more playing time in what is expected of him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does appear to be the case. I know he scored some good goals last season, but I would like to see Sainz step it up now, especially with Rowe not around.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted August 13 (edited) Not sure why we're intent on running Stacey into the ground...every game of pre season , still plays tonight Edited August 13 by GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wr4sb 66 Posted August 13 Do we have any other full backs that aren't injured? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big O 287 Posted August 13 I think Hernandez will play through the middle. That’s my bet. Didn’t he do that for Boro a few times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,761 Posted August 13 Looking forward to it, first trip to Carra Rud for a few months. I think they're missing a trick with the League Cup, they should use it for some experimental stuff and try and get the fans in. Allow drinking in view of the pitch, powerplay where you can chuck an extra player on for 10 minutes, monkey rush in injury time, stuff that'll trigger the purists.

ZLF 335 Posted August 13 It's clear what thorup remains experimental so getting it embedded with the middle 3 in particular makes sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,008 Posted August 13 (edited) Slightly strange we signed 2 LBs yet neither of them are playing. Perhaps McLean at LB and Fisher in midfield? I wasn't expecting that many changes but credit to Thorup for getting as many involved as possible, which could suggest he is some way from knowing his best first XI, and after that performance on Saturday he should be!

I only said it to get bites, and it looks like I've got three quick ones. But genuinely, I do think we've gone from one extreme to the other, compared to the Oxford game. I don't want us to ever play the Hanley-Duffy combo again, but I think the defence would look better and the youngsters would learn faster if one of the old boys was in there with them.
