The sooner he realises this is our best team by far the sooner our season can begin.

 

 

Westwood for Dawson and I totally agree with you.

Palmer in miles in front of Boyd

Sadly he’s too conservative to play three strikers

[Swiss Toni]

Not sure we will go with 3 up top away at Brentford,

 

Think it will be:

 

                    Dawson

           Lees Hutchinson Pudil

Baker Pelupessy Kirby Bannan Reach

                    Forestieri

                      Nuhiu

 

Brentford are a good side under Dean Smith so hoping it won't be a backs to the wall job.

Away at Brentford he's probably right. At home it's a different story.

Tend to agree, might see the 4141 system we saw second half at Sunderland. Personally I don't think it is very effective other than being more defensive

They are a good side, true, but we need to start believing in our own ability. In the first game, it was, Wigan are a good side, they’re on a roll Later, it was, Hull have some very good players. In truth, most clubs can beat anyone in this League. Until we believe we can impose ourselves on the opposition, we will always start on the back foot

I think it will be. And probably will be for most teams who visit Brentford this season 

 

Hopefully we don’t take a battering and then our season can start tomorrow, with new signings and some winnable home games to come

In which case we face a relegation battle.

Possibly, yes

[Bouncing Owl]

Difficult game this one. If I was the manager, I’d probably go;

 

Dawson

 

Lees

Pudil

Thorniley

 

Baker

Hutch

Bannan

Reach

 

Joao

Nuhiu

FF

 

Bench;

Wildsmith

Palmer

Penney

Joey

Boyd

Fletch

Matias

 

Joey is a big weak link for us. So are Palmer, JVA, Fox and Boyd.

 

I really rate Jordan Thorniley, however I think we will ruin him playing him left wing back on a constant basis. Either Play him left of a centre half or left back in a 4 this season. He needs bringing into the team. He’s the one young player who is absolutely ready (apart from the keepers). 

 

Im sure Jos will stick with Joey tho, play Thorniley LWB, Hutch at centre back and have a front 2 of FF and Nuhiu.

He played two strikers at a weak Wigan, and we were awful.

 

The problem is that we really end up with one up and isolated, because FF drops very wide and deep. Our ball retention suffers and we get pushed deeper and deeper. 

 

It works in a 442, with two proper strikers and FF LW. But as yet that’s not Jos’s way.

A weak Wigan? Bit disrespectful. They've looked okay so far this season.

Yes Forestieri does drop deep but then again so does Bannan. Problem at the minute is that we still don't know our best side and we don't have full backs good enough to play a back four. 

If Jos was able to use his 'go to' formation at previous clubs of 4-2-3-1 what would his side be right now with who's available?

Thorniley

 

Joey

Bannan

 

Boyd

FF

Reach

 

Nuhiu

 

In this formation, I’d play Pudil centre half and put Hutch in CDM and take Joey out of the team.

 

Personally, Id go 4-3-3 and I’d utilise our attacking strengths. 

[S72 Owl]

Been a big fan of the 3-4-3 but feel we will need that extra midfielder in there today with the system Brentford play.

 

Bench:

Wildsmith

Penney

Palmer

Pelupessy 

Matias

Joao

Fletcher
