I think it’s a reasonable team to field though bearing in mind our opponents will be affected similarly. Yeah I’m not sure about Lees anymore, but I do like Bannan wide left I think that’s where we saw the best of him under Carlos with Hutch, Lopez or Lee in the middle. Maybe as Bannan takes on less responsibility when not in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland Owl Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 That decision will have a major effect on most of the clubs, some will have to use U23's and some wont have enough players to fill subs bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot will depend on Luongo staying fit and young Hunt coming good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The EFL clubs should jointly fund a case against the EFL for incontinence. I wrote incompetence originally but then realised the EFL would crap themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 We are talking a whole different scenario now to when Bannan played left under Carlos The possession game under Carlos gave us control of the ball so that players had time to rotate. Lee making forward runs, Hooper dropping while Bannan and Wallace come into the middle can only happen if you have possession. If the opposition has the ball you have to cover wherever your opponent goes. Our wide players are wingers now, spend a lot of time covering the fullbacks. Not Bannan’s game and to be honest if we put him wide he wouldn’t get a kick because we wouldn’t have the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most teams will be in similar position though Dawson Odubajo Iorfa Borner Palmer. Luongo Pelupessy Bannan Reach Rhodes Harris subs Wildsmith Uhrogidi Lees Van Aken Penney Hunt Borukov Think I heard extra subs can be used til season ends Penney and Van Aken won't be available.

Etchesketch Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Have U23s like Jack Stobbs, Joe West actually left the club? They were told they were going to be released and said farewells on Twitter etc. Wouldn't we need these tye of players to fill the bench if there are going to be 9 subs?

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Would the club be able to offer short-term contracts to players - month extension? Does make me wonder if all the recent ills since Xmas have been down to contractual issues. Mention previously that some players were on automatic extension triggers when they had played so many games in a season. Could this be the reason why the likes of Hutch were dropped when seemingly fit and previously played consistently in a number of games? Could this be the reason why JP has just had an extension accepted - not a case that the club want him but they are contractually bound to extending him?

SiJ Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Like most things with the EFL, there doesn't seem to have been a great deal of thought gone into any of this. Season due to restart on June 20. Apparently, the Championship clubs found out at the same time as the rest of us? How can that be the case? Shambles. Still haven't addressed the issue that they'll be a plethora of players who will be out of contract within 10-days of the season restarting. What a shitshow.

Yep, restart the league to complete the season for the integrity of the competition. Having the players available to complete the season that the clubs signed for that purpose is integral to that integrity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
