Line-up v Leeds


Recommended Posts

Amazed at amount of people saying not to play both Lee and Bannan. Appreciate there are tough calls to be made and we haven't taken as many points as we might have, but bar Tuesday night (when we had defence issues which cost us dearly) we've had a good start. 

 

We'll utilise different players for different situations this year, especially the front 6, due to the strength of our squad in midfield / attacking positions. But, for me, considering how good our home form was last year (and that we deservedly beat AV at home this year), on Saturday - against a poor Leeds team at Hillsborough - I think CC will go with an attacking team: 

 

             Westwood

 

Hunt   Lees   Hutchinson  Pudil

 

                Jones 

 

       Lee   Bannan   Abdi 

 

              Forestieri

     

               Fletcher  

 

Subs:

Wildsmith

Palmer

Semedo 

Buckley

Wallace

Joao

Hooper

Wildsmith, Lee, Wallace, Nuhiu, Hooper, Semedo, Joao on the bench.

I'd go with that, Although i'd have lee OR bannan

A lot of people are putting Jones in straight away, not really been CC's way of introducing new players. And starting with 2 defensive midfielders, that will never happen under Carlos. So for this game Bannan starts with Jones coming on for the last half hour in that DM position. Hunt totally off key at the moment, so start with Palmer and a winger. Hope and pray Lees is fit to play. FF and 'Norman Stanley' up front.

Jones has a full pre-season and started last week in the Premier League.

 

I think he will start on Saturday.

It is a real quandry to fit all the quality into 1 team........

Someone put on that Leeds play a 4-2-2-2 formation, so this could be THE game to allow us to play the diamond formation and it work properly.

Difficult decision who to leave out, Hooper & Wallace have unfortunately suffered, although RW always seems to chip in  with the important goals..

FF on bench as still atoning for last weekend..

 

            Westwood

Palmer  Lees  Hutch  Pudil

             Jones

      Lee           Bannan

             Abdi

  Fletcher       Joao

 

Bench of :-

Wildsmith

Hooper

Forestieri

Matias (if fit) / Wallace

Hunt

Loovens (if fit) / O'Grady

---------------- Jones ----------------

---------- Abdi -------- Lee ----------

It's hard on Bannan to drop him, but think he's the one that will make way for Jones.

A team where everyone plays in their best position, so...

 

Has Abdi done enough yet to replace Lee or Bannan? Not for me.

 

Is Buckley ready to take over from Wallace? No idea, but CC will know.

 

Westwood

 

Palmer

Lees

Hutch

Pudil

 

Wallace or Buckley

Lee

Bannan

FF

 

Hooper

Fletcher

 

Doubt it cus he hasn't had chance...

Reading Carlos's comments it seems Buckley not ready, and we know he thought Abdi was fatigued. Can't see him putting Jones in straightaway, so the selection would appear a pretty obvious one this time:-

 

Westwood

 

Hunt or Palmer

Lees

Hutch

Pudil

 

Wallace

Lee

Bannan

FF

 

Hooper

Fletcher

 

Nobody playing out of position!
