shandypants Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) It’s a bloody hard one to fathom. A few positions are obvious: The goalkeeper is Westwood Three of the defenders are Palmer, Lees and Hector Obvious midfielders are Bannan, Reach and Hutchinson (if he can last the game) Essential forwards are Fletcher, Joao, Mattias and Forestieri. But a team couldn’t be made from those players - it would be lopsided. I also think I've missed some other obvious “starters”.

gurujuan Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I’d like to see a left sided centre back in the team, as it brings better balance to the side. It’s strange, left sided centre backs are generally a sought after commodity, and we have three of them, Pudil, Van Aken and Thorniley. We also have young Issac Rice, who by all accounts, is a real talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_owl Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Depends if you are including the sick notes, e.g. Lee, Hooper, Abdi and Winnall. If we are then its pretty straight for me. Westwood Palmer Lees Hector Pudil Lee Bannan Hutchinson Reach Hooper or FF Fletcher Subs: Dawson, FF, Joao, Thorniley, Winnall, Abdi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Looks like Carlos’ Boys Part IV.... TBH I think Penney and Thorniley are worth their places in a formation that makes sense. Like all the players, including Bannan and Reach, they have been made to look confused at times as has the whole team a la Brentford, Norwich (and IMHO) at the Stain.

Bleeder Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 For me they've looked confused because of all the chopping and changing. Thorniley maybe at left cb with Hector forward into Hutchinson's role but Pelupessy too often a passenger, Fox not good enough, the other youngsters not yet good enough and Nuhiu inconsistent at best.

Either way a strong bench with Joao/Fletch, Winnall, Joey, Penney, Pudil, Palmer and Dawson/Wildsmith (Lee the only player sadly not returning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Hutch’s future is surely as a coach I would prefer Westwood Palmer Lees Hector Thorniley Penney Reach Onomah Bannan Fessi Joao Bruce will prefer (in my humble but correct opinion) Westwood Palmer Lees Thorniley Boyd Hector Fessi Onomah Bannan Reach Fletcher Sadly - sold or unsold, I just don’t expect to see Hoops Lee Abdi or Hutch to be sufficiently fit ever again to command what you might call a first team spot.

Nath83 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'd drop Hutch to CB, think he would be better there now, plus Lees needs an experienced head at the side of him. Think Hector would be a bit better going forward too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Amazed at some of the suggestions on this thread! For starters I think Lee, Hooper and Abdi can be completely discounted. I doubt we’ll ever see them again. Also depends which formation. I’ve read Bruce has gone mostly with 4-2-3-1 in recent times so in that basis I’d go with Westwood Palmer Lees Hector Pudil Hutchinson Onomah Reach Bannah Forestieri Fletcher Left back is the trickiest choice cos I’m not sure any of our current options are really up to it. Theres also no doubt in my mind that Bannan is at his best when playing further forward so I’d like to see him in that advanced three. Him, Forestieri and Reach are arguably our three most talented players so give them license to make things happen from those roles. what I’d also be keen to try personally is a 3-4-3 with Lees-Hector-Pudil as the back three, Boyd-Hutchinson-Bannan-Reach across the middle and Matias-Fletcher-Forestieri up front. It’s a bold formation but I think we’d score plenty of goals and win more than we have been lately! I think there’s still a very good team in that squad if we can stay injury free and pick a settled XI for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
