airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I want to see Pashun! I want to see us smash Lincoln as I work with a couple of their fans. Have taken early next week off in preparation to avoid any embarrassment. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I'd like to use the friendlies to see how far the under 23s are progressing and how they cope with older physical players, we know the first team can and give some of them more time on fitness or recovery from injury, so let's see Baker given the friendlies, if he can push on and improve it'll maybe help push palmer a little, van Akren and nielson or O'grady, kirby in the middle and hopefully the lad smart up top and mix in some first teamers U23s haven't got another game till they play Leicester away on 20th so one or two might be involved tomorrow.

striker Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'd be surprised is we go 3 at the back because we don't have any wing backs, crucial for that formation to succeed and we didn't sign Venancio, leaving us short of first team CB cover. The decision to sell Hunt and retain Palmer also points to a flat back 4 which plays to the strengths of a limited Palmer and even more limited Fox. I think the U23's lined up in a 433 the other night and wouldn't be surprised if this or some variation is used this season. Jos tried to revert to 4 at the back last season but quickly reverted to a 3 / 5 man defence, suspect with some time on the training ground he is more confident now?

dani_armo Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) If we are talking strongest team id like to see Westwood Lee Lees Pudil Thorniley Reach Hutch Bannan Forestieri Joao Hooper Let forestieri do what he wants behind Hooper and joao. Really need a right sided cb or someone to play in the middle of lees and pudil Squad is seriously lacking quality in a lot of areas after the main 11 or so....

WhiteOwl91 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised for us to go with 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. If we start 5-3-2 it points to us signing a new right back IMO, but i suspect 4 at the back and no new full back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are playing 4 at the back next season we are in huge trouble, as soon as Jos came in he realised we don’t have the players for that so he changed it to 3 centre backs. I can’t see that changing myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally will be amazed if we ain't 3 at the back next season. Edited July 12, 2018 by pazowl55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Told that Abdi means business and has put everything into preseason. If he starts Friday night in a 3 man CM role then that's a huge message. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as I said makes sense to do so bud, lincoln are gonna have some robust old pros in there, so will be a good test for how they stand up to the more physical side.

Would like to give nielson a run there, big tough unit too, could be the monster we need at the back with some experience and games time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a feeling Pessy would be a good rwb based on what I’ve seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see him come good, the guy undoubtedly has talent but it's his application and fitness that are in question...fingers crossed.

pazowl55 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Imagine if we actually got a tune out of Abdi and Matias this season. Only one we have had so far is the creaking noise they make on the way to the treatment room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As posted previously, I think Lincoln have signed Akinde from Barnet who is a big unit also, powerful runner, good shot on him and causes problems from set pieces if memory serves.
