Not what I want, but what I reckon we'll see:

 

                           Wildsmith

          Hutchinson.   Lees.      Pudil

Palmer.  Bannan.  Pelupessy.  Reach.  Fox

                      Nuhiu.   Forestieri

Surely only someone wanting sack would pick Fox. I feel for the lad because he is completely out of his depth

For me we're poor in defence and powder puff in midfield. 

 

Our strongest position is up top. 

 

Hoping Jos realises our best chance of winning games is getting the ball forward as quickly and as often as possible, and letting a very effective frontline of Joao, Nuhiu and FF do their thing. 

 

Go for it every week. Teams will struggle to handle that front 3. 

 

If he goes with 2 up top we won't create enough imo

Where would you put FF in the three mate?

We’re lucky in a way that our front three are all grafters too that can drop in and support the midfield defensively. Fessi a season or two ago made more tackles than any other forward if I’m not wrong. 

 

I hope we find a way to set up with front three even away from home. As Matias looking good as per normal in pre season too! As was fletcher... oh I’m excited for season to start!

Today i’d probably say the below team, but there’s arguments for Hutch and Boyd to be in the starting eleven 

 

                      Dawson 

           Lees   Van Aken  Pudil 

Palmer  Pelupessy  Bannan   Reach 

                       Forestieri 

                 Joao     Fletcher

Net - Dawson

 

Defence - anyone as long as Palmer and Fox aren't in it

 

Midfield - anyone except Jones and Boyd

 

Up front - Forestieri and some others as long as they didn't score 3 in their last league game.

Pretty much got that spot on. However in the I'd go team. swap Boyd for Reach.

He did. He would often pinch the ball from defenders and midfielders. It was a big part of how we sprung attacks in Carlos's first season. One of the reasons why I'd never restrict him to the left wing.

Need to let Nando roam.

 

The whole wide left or up top thing...for me he's at his best operating in that space between the midfield and your strikers. In and around the box with licence to roam and cause problems.

Like it or not, the team is likely to be:

 

               Westwood or Wildsmith

        Lees              JVA.            Pudil 

Palmer                                Reach or Boyd

                          Pelupessy 

        Hutch                              Bannan

                           Forestieri     

                              Nuhiu

 

where Westwood and Reach play if fit. 

 

As much as people protest, Palmer is a definite and Nuhiu did enough at the end of last season to keep out a half-fit Fletcher.

Well after  he watched Saturday’s game if Jos still

 

- picks Lees on the right hand side  of a back three

- plays the midfield 3 of Hutch, Joey and Bannan 

- picks a front two of FF and Nuhiu

 

then we need to start worrying
