The only way is S6 7,854 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 There ought to be a sweepstake for naming TP's first starting XI. With some small edible first prize supplied by OT. A new manager, picking from a new (to him) squad, into a potentially new system with loads of injuries! I'll be honest, I haven't got a feckin clue who he'll pick. Keep the Jaffa cakes Neil.

Shetland Owl 1,426 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Westwood (hopefully) Moses , Lees, Borner, Palmer Brown, Bannan, Luongo, Reach Rhodes, Windass Looks like Lofra and Van Aken are injured along with Marriot. Harris suspended Link to post Share on other sites
CircleSeven 1,815 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Not going to make any player predictions as I’m always wrong. But, I am looking forward to match day that’s for sure! Just to watch a game rather than all this speculation. I can’t wait It’s either going to be total meltdown or predictions of imminent promotion... Bring on some actual football (hoofball?) on a Saturday (I don’t count England friendly matches as proper games). Come on ‘The Punisher’! Link to post Share on other sites
Woodie 326 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Am I the only person that doesn’t want Westwood to start Saturday? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
malek 3,091 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I for one think that Penney will be to his liking. Inteligent, hard working and pacey. Link to post Share on other sites

The Night-Owl 6,233 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Preston are a decent hardworking solid side but slightly inconsistent, Alex Neill seems a decent manager at this level to be fair. One of their best players Republic of Ireland international midfielder Alan Browne, should be out after contacting Covid during the international break and having to self isolate for around 10 days. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8945787/Ireland-star-Alan-Browne-tests-positive-coronavirus-hours-playing-against-England.html Hopefully Pulis will work the squad hard and get some sort of positive response on the weekend. Fingers-crossed Pulis makes a good start to his reign. Although it's a tricky first game to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

The Night-Owl 6,233 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I think Pulis will play 3-4-2-1 away from home. If we've only two fully fit recognisable strikers, then only one will start. I think Windass will lead the line. With two energetic attacking midfielders as support, possibly Bannan pushed further forward, if Luongo and Brown start. Along with Paterson reverted back into a midfield role. Hopefully Luongo's fit to give us that midfield protection in front of the defence and better balance. If that's how he goes, then I expect us to be solid and soak up pressure, and hopefully getting more players into the box to support the main striker. Link to post Share on other sites

bigdan2003 8,198 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Paterson not in the Scotland squad tonight. Im guessing he’s one of those injured in the last week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If it's due to injury that he's not in the squad then I reckon that will be in addition to the two Pulis mentioned (possibly Marriott and Iorfa). 2 Link to post Share on other sites
WalthamOwl 18,832 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Just hope the injured players aren’t out for long. Iorfa missing would be a massive blow. We look so much more solid at the back with him playing. Link to post Share on other sites

S36 OWL 53,664 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I'm expecting three centre halves and two defensive midfielders sat in front of them. If we are right about the injuries I expect Lees Borner Van Aken Luongo Pessy To be the spine of the team. Link to post Share on other sites
