gurujuan Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 In the absence of any new signings, who is likely to fill the bench. Will we be able to send on any potential game changers if we fall behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 No reserve wingers. No reserve striker (if we started with 2 up front). So basically, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLS about that? Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Not really, no. Not many game changers in the starting 11 either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG_1984 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Take your boots if you're going to Brighton People keep getting on their high horse about people moaning about the lack if signings (and sale of Antonio) but the stark reality is that we have one of the weakest squads in the division as it currently stands.

Guest wilyfox Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Assuming Helan won't make it, Betra is the only one who might offer us something different coming off the bench. Atleast he might pose a threat in behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's true we don't have a lot of options but we do need to be a bit more imaginative when it comes to the subs bench. Even last year, there were times when we'd have three defenders, or four midfielders on there. I know they are more experienced, but would we really need to have two centre backs, Zayatte and Kelhar on the bench, or both McCabe and Corry. It would give us more options if we were to include Floro and Betra. OK they perhaps shouldn't need to be considered at this stage, but in lieu of no new arrivals, at least they provide something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayzman Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Gurujuan makes a valid point. you need a defender and a midfielder as cover, but surely you need multiple attacking options to come off the bench? anyone can stay back and hoof it if we are trying o defend a one nil, but if we are chasing a goal, what is the point of four defenders on the bench?

Guest wilyfox Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Westwood Palmer Lees Loovens Mattock Maguire Lee Hutchinson Coke Maghoma Nuhiu Subs - Kirkland Madine McCabe Zayatte Corry Floro Dieseruvwe I agree with the XI, but I'd have Kelhar, Semedo & Betra on the bench instead of Zayatte, Corry and Dieseruvwe.

Lee A Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Subs - Kirkland Madine McCabe Zayatte Corry Floro Dieseruvwe Only Madine and Floro I'd feel comfortable using off that bench ( outfield players ) Are we really starting a championship season with Giles Coke in the team and a bench like this? Look at the number of fans making that trip tomorrow, really deserve better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
