oldishowl Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I think If Bannan is fit we will probably go back to the team that played at Reading. The question is whether he thinks Lee can do both games in four days. If he can then fine. If not then it comes down to whether Luongo is 100% . If he is I would play him at Millwall instead of Lee. If he isn’t fit to start then play probably Reach will play in the middle and bring Murphy in on the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Interesting thread. MASSIVELY difficult and fantastic “problems” for Bullen. Westwood OBVIOUSLY comes in for the admirable Dawson, who was superb today. What a save! Bannan for whom? Hutch or Luongo? Pick two from Murphy, Harris and Reach? What about FF? Iorfa or Moses? Start Fletch both Millwall and Luton? Or Rhodes for one? Fabulous problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Westwood comes straight back in. If you have a number one you pick him whenever you can. Massive dilemma in the midfield though. I want Luongo and Bannan to start but who do you leave out? Maybe we'll have to rotate. Our squad give me the feels this year bruv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Bring Bazza back, move Reach to left back then choose between Palmer, Moses and Iorfa for right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domSWFC Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) With Bannan, Lee and Hutchinson never going to manage 90 mins week in week out it makes sense to interchange them to suit tactics to hurt the opposition. Teams where we really want to get in and damage them, Luongo, Lee and Reach with Murphy and Harris out wide suits the high press, high tempo style. Teams where we will have pick and probe, Hutchinson, Bannan Lee, with Reach and Harris could work. No matter who starts, when everyone is fit we always look like we have very dangerous options on the bench. We can have Forestieri, Rhodes, Bannan and Luongo on the bench and still not seem weakened in the first 11 with Reach, Hutchinson, Lee, Harris, Murphy and Fletcher starting. I can't remember the last time we had this balance. Edited August 10, 2019 by domSWFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlsAce Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 No brainer for me Bannan for Reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashamanic Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Depends on the opposition. If they have slow full backs or defenders, two paces wingers is the best option. If they look like they can cope with pace, someone who can spread the ball around like Bannan would be the better option. First time in years we have had options so we can take advantage of opponents weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the problem of having so many good players. I’m not complaining like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Millwall are going to be big, dirty and direct. Like bullen said it might be a case of changing things to suit, bring in the big guys in iorfa. Personally I'd stick with today's team and change reach for bannan.

gurujuan Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 It’s tough, at Reading, thanks mainly to Bannan, we pretty much controlled the midfield Today we did not. There are different ways to win a game, but Bannan helps give us a foothold in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Only Reach today was not quite on it. He has to drop out for Bannan imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Embarrassment of riches. Bannan didn’t play, Westwood couldn’t play, Iorfa couldn’t play, Forestieri, Luongo, Rhodes all on the bench. Best squad in the league, seriously. Promotion season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeastowl Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Bannan plays and reach goes on the bench for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAWAWUTO17 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I would drop Reach. If Bannan was involved today Harris and Murphy would have been bagging for fun. I dont think Reach did much in the centre. Looked shattered at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
