HoylandOwl Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Well, we started ok. And it just ebbed away. BUT there were 7 changes in the second half I think I made it.... A little better than what we've seen so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Can see how we set up for the counter but then we struggle to do just that. Then again it’s a squad still built for something else. For example Johnson is institutionalised on the left so sticking him on the right he’s like a fish out of water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but I meant in the recent friendlies where he's been seen looking somewhat baffled for periods in centre midfield. I'm not moaning at Xisco, btw: he's seemed to be giving the players the most thorough examination they could have. No bad thing when he won't know them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tale seemed to be that Famewa was (rightly) booked but Ihiekwa's name was shown as booked on the scoreboard. Not particularly flattering at home! Wrong kind of sun, obviously. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelinblue Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 One bad pass in a match is enough to cost you the game. Maybe it's time to cash in on him? Since he was injured a while back I have never trusted him totally. His main attribute is pace, if PNE are interested we could swap him, or get some cash to freshen the squad up.

Since he was injured a while back I have never trusted him totally. His main attribute is pace, if PNE are interested we could swap him, or get some cash to freshen the squad up. He had a terrible spell last season when he couldn't trap a bag of sand. BUT, towards the back end of the season when it mattered he seemed to have got his shit together. There's a player in there, as maligned as he can be. A few seasons back there was talk of multi million pound interest in him. I'd rather him mess up in pre season, than once things get underway. As bang average at best, as pre season has been, it'll soon be forgotten about once things get underway next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 On his day, and certainly pre injury, he's the only one in the current squad who'd be on the brink of the best Chansiri era XI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyben Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) If it's just based on performance for us it's relatively easy @Tylluan 442 Diamond Westwood Hunt Lees Loovens Pudil Hutchinson Lee Lopez FF Hooper Fletcher. Perhaps Iorfa for Lees and Vaulks for Hutch but that's about it Edited July 30 by Andyben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Iorfa for Lees and Vaulks for Hutch but that's about it I’d go with similar. But a straight 4-4-2. Westwood Hunt, Lees, Loovens, Pudil Lee, Lopez, Hutch, Forestieri Fletcher, Hooper Subs Joao, Bannan, Wallace, Murphy, Venancio, McGuiness, Dawson The only players from the current crop beyond Bannan and McGuiness would be Palmer and Byers. Byers might end up in the strongest 11 if he stays fit. On Iorfa, quick, strong and athletic - does not sense danger, makes poor decisions and is poor with the ball. As a note, two problem positions we’ve had in the Chansiri era have been right back and goalkeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyben Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I think @KrolMongthe only keeper issue was when Westwood reacted to Jos's incompetence, other than that he was top ten Prem quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I fully agree with this, given we have broken or equalled the number of clean sheets in a season several times during the era. I realise that’s as much about the defence as the keeper, but I don’t think we would have done so with a duff keeper. As for RB position, yes-ish but I’d say Hunt was good enough first time around and we haven’t been great across a number of positions on and off, e,g. the year we got relegated we had little fire power. Particularly compared to what had gone before with FF, Hooper and Fletcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree unless we need to generate cash or Munoz has ideas which mean Dom will be surplus, can’t see it though. Hes no PL player but on the right formation with the right coaching and instructions he can do a job for is in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
