s110wl Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Just over a week away - now we have two more through the door, how are people expecting us to line up vs the Villa? I'll go for: Westwood Hunt Hutchinson Lees Pudil Lee Bannan Abdi FF Hooper Fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 14 from 18will be on the pitch. Flexibility and fluidity are now the bye words. We need to stop thinking about our best 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Same players but I think 442. Probably Lee Abdi Bannan FF across the middle. Its a very strong 11, with Wallace, Joao, Matias and Nuhiu in reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Gotta be this. All our best players in their best positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bez Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Too attacking. You can't ignore the defensive side of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 OP is spot on. That team, if it played consistently, would get top two. However I'm sure Newcastle, Derby, Villa, Norwich and Brighton are all saying that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bez Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Lee and Bannan as defensive protectors won't work as I will limit their ability to get forward. You need a hutch type player in there unless Lee has his attacking responsibility taken away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s29wfc Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 3 more players and we're good to go. Would like a big presence in front of the back four, Another CB and another winger. Get those 3 in this week or next and then people's teams may change again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bez Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We haven't seen him play so that's a no mate. Sign a centre back on loan from the Prem and let hutch play in midfield. The big problem last year was our lack of spark without FF. With Abdi and FF we have options and versatility. We can also play the in form striker of the bunch. Hooper and FF were never the best partnership, FF and Joao, FF and Fletcher or Fletcher and Hooper all could work well. Fitting Abdi into the team essentially means FF has to play on the left (replacing Wallace) or up front. Real depth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_ Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Can see Matias given a chance on the left. Edited July 28, 2016 by Tommo_SWFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickledegghiderman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Lets not worry about how were going to line up. We will see plenty of different starting lineups this season as we now have quite a few different options. If we dont get any bad injuries then we should push the automatic spots close. Could do with another cb, lb and maybe another winger and i cant see any real weakness in that squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 WESTWOOD HUNT HUTCHINSON LEES PUDIL LEE BANNAN WALLACE FORRESTERRI MATIAS FLETCHER Could be 4-4-2 with FF moved up alongside Fletcher Can see Abdi being eased in with only one pre season game left to get to know the team. Wallace was excellent last season, so dropping him straight away wouldn't be right imo. Especially with Fletcher up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 For me, Matias has done enough pre-season to earn a start. But the issue comes that we've got so many good midfielders, who do you drop? -------------------Westwood--------------------- Hunt--------Lees----------Hutch----------Pudil ------------Lee----------------Bannan----------- -------Matias---------------------Forestieri----- -----------------------Abdi------------------------- ---------------------Fletcher---------------------- The truth is, I don't know. Seems almost farcical to drop Hooper, we could easily see Matias and Abdi swap positions in my above formation and then see Hooper playing alongside Fletcher. Who knows. We have so much attacking talent, it's petrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone suggested anything like that you would have been laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
