For me these are the certs in their best roles using only currently fit players:- Hutch Lees Filler Filler Filler Bannan Reach Joao Nuhiu/Fletch FF So I only have 3 fillers.

First, imo we fans might as well accept we will be 3 at the back. Then... Hutch - has to be CB. He will last a lot longer into the season and he is the second best CB on our books - ergo no brainer. Reach LWB every minute of every game. He’s made for the role. Boyd - in his system we need a RWB but don’t have one. Boyd is the nearest we have and is a quality player, so yes that’s where he should play. Failing that he could be tried as a replacement for Joey. Totally agree your front three, as do about 90% of us on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got Liam Palmer, and he smokes Marujana. For what it's worth if I had to pick the team I'd pick the team below. I'm not saying this should be the first team every week though. We have to use the squad, especially in the forward positions. We can't have this first team second team nonsense we had under Carlos. It means you've written off half the squad, which makes no sense. You've got to play Van Aken for him to learn. If he plays along side Lees, Pudil or Hutch then he'll soon learn to play consistently at this level. I'm sure he'll play at a higher level than this one day. If we rotate it will pay dividends with fitness / fatigue levels later in the season. We might not have the best players in the league, but I'm sure we've still got one of the biggest squads, that is why I'm not concerned about signings. I'm sure we're still on our way back Dave.

FF Bannan, Joey, Boyd Reach. Palmer Lees, Van Aken, Hutch Not enough goals in that side. The midfield three rarely score. Reach got only 3 from winger, So is unlikely to score much more from WB. Palmer doesn’t score and our defence score very few. The big problem is up front. FF only scores freely from wide left or wide of a front 3. Nuhiu found his scoring boots playing with Joao. We have to accept very soon that we need a front 3 to prosper. Its not as if packing our midfield stops us conceding anyway. I agree about the rotation this season. Cant afford to lose key players for two-thirds of the season by over-playing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree three up front makes sense to a certain extent, especially with all the strikers we have. Only problem is that means four at the back. Maybe with Lees and Hutch fit that's a possibility. I assume Jos defaulted to three / five at the back down to the dire injury crisis we had in January. Its also serves a purpose as the full backs can get forward more, but they have to have attacking intent, especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmason69 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 In pre season Boyd looked like he'd worked very hard to get fit. He looked the fastest player in the side by a mile. Boyd has made a real effort to get fit. How is he rewarded. He's not played. He definitely should have come on as sub the last match. Jl wasn't interested in bringing him on This is how Wednesday reward hard work. Abdi worked his proverbials off last season to get fit. He achieved it. How was he rewarded. Wednesday invented a fake injury. Apparently he had something stuck in his eye. That was the last time we heard of him This is how Wednesday reward hard work. Of course Boyd made a fatal error. He said in close season that our players weren't fit. This is obviously true. Wednesday don't tolerate the truth. Wednesday don't tolerate anything. I've been a massive critic of Boyd. But he's made a real effort to change and improve himself. It seems that Wednesday don't expect their players to be fit and try hard. This is all part of the reason we are in such a mess. There's no incentive at Hillsborough for players to better themselves. None whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF Bannan, Joey, Boyd Reach. Palmer Lees, Van Aken, Hutch FF should never play up front. He needs to play behind a front two. Bannan and someone else in middle. With that Reach has to play LWB to get us up the pitch. We have loads to pick from for the front two when fit. All decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I don't think Boyd is a world beater but I don't think we are doing well enough to freeze a player like him out completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Worryingly like Sedgwick to me. Everybody knows he's a good player with a good record but he looks like he's up to his nads in sand whenever he tries to run. A 5 yard head start just vanishes. The build up play in general is slow and lethargic to be fair, it's not just Boyd. But he seems to be struggling more than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
