little_orme Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Such a difficult decision! I think I'd go for: Westwood Hunt Lees Loovens Pudil Hutch Bannan Lee Abdi Forestieri Fletcher Bench: Wildsmith, Palmer, Sasso, Lee, Reach, Matias, Hooper - I think we're much more calm and composed with Loovens at the back, and he just seems to control the back four better. - Even though Hutch is excelling at CB, I think we miss his presence in the middle, protecting the back four. With Bannan alongside to pick up the tackles Hutch wins. - This allows Abdi to play a more central role and Fessi to still come in off the left, where he got most of his goals from last year This does mean though that we don't have any wide players on the pitch. Reach, Matias, Wallace & Buckley all miss out, and there Is also no room for Hooper or Jones. Great problems to have though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathgate Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ff will go up top in a 442 with fletch. Abdi will play on the RM but only really when defending as when were attacking he will be able to drift inside alot and play the "forestieri role' but at RM instead of the left? With reach being a direct winger providing the width. Thats what i thi k carlos will think. Who knows, might work might now! Hope it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 What's certain is that we have a beautiful squad of footballing men. I can't wait to see these guys line up and do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuttyTeabags Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 You can only look as far as the next game, with Jones suspended, I'd be delighted to see this starting 11: Westwood Palmer Lees Hutch Pudil Buckley Abdi Lee Reach FF Fletcher Pace down the flanks and protection for full backs. Abdi and FF playing between the lines. Surely have too much for Wogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Spare a thought for Gary Caldwell. He only has nine more days to watch all the videos and read all the player reports on our likely starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher, Hooper and Joao to rotate based on performances. I think the squad is set up nicely for that formation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beloved_aunt Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 No such thing as a first eleven these days, you rotate to pick a fresh team and to take account of particular opponents. I'd basically say that the following will always start when fit - Westwood, Lees, Lee, Bannan, Fessi - and the other 6 on a horse of courses basis.

I think though that Lee and Bannan's places for instance could be threatened by Jones, Abdi and on occasions going forward, by Hutch. This is very healthy in my opinion, there will be dips in form, fatigue and tactical decisions that dictate this. Fans should get used to some of their favourite, previously undroppable (on the face of it) players sitting it out at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
