Jos will know best after seeing the lads in training.

I doubt it as im not sure he has even seen the new boys train yet , they were signed 24 hours before the  reading game were not eligible ,then both went straight off with Jamaica and England u21 . probably thurs or fri this week will be there 1st training session . they be on bench is my guess.

Two questions.

 

Would you start either player, and replacing whom?

 

Will Jos start either, and replacing whom?

 

 

My view:-

 

Definitely not Josh. The midfield three are winning and settled, so no immediate opening there for Josh. Matias has done enough to keep his place, and Joao is undroppable.

 

More of a question at CB. I’m not 100% convinced by Thorniley yet, and Hector feels like just what we needed with his size and experience, but no, I would not break up the Palmer-Lees-Thorniley-Penney back four at present. 

 

A few weeks ago these newcomers would have walked into our badly struggling side, but not now. It’s brilliant that they are going to have to force their way in, and play like demons to stay there. 

 

We play...

 

Saturday Stoke

Wednesday Forest

Saturday Villa

 

I would be very surprised to see Matias and Joao start all three. They have had a fortnight off but I see a degree of sensible rotation from Jos. This gives an early chance for Onomah to impress. 

 

Not sure Jos will rotate in defence unless we get injuries. I suppose at 21 it’s possible he will give Jordan a rest and take a look at Hector, but I really think he might have to wait for an injury or a poor performance.

 

Wonderful that it has become a genuinely difficult dilemma rather than an urgent emergency.

 

 

 

 

Not seen either of them so I wouldn't like to guess. I suppose they'll get on at some stage !
