WECANDO Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Reid "Dropping between defence and midfield". Your having a laugh. You been reading the Johnson book of tactics? Has to be more forward thinking than defensive. Needs to be in front of the midfield and able to bomb forward to support Diedhiou. He has the energy to get forward and back. The guy will score goals if the support and chances are provided. But I do like the idea of Brownhill getting forward as well. He's looking good so far. Thought Enkvall looked a bit lost against FC Twente. Was the support missing with the change of players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Bobby Reid to score a hat-trick as City romp to 6-0 opening day win... least that's what I'm predicting :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Will buying (allegedly) this Swedish winger mean that Gustav will be staying and that he could play a more prominent part than making be he otherwise might? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 On current form probably Bobby. However, if we want to improve as a team, then which of the two has the potential to develop, improve and become the better player? I strongly suspect that would be Engval, and also think he would do a good job right away, so it presents LJ with a difficult decision. Who'd be a head coach?

LocoPal Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'd go with the side that started against FC Twente. So, Bobby + Famara and then Engvall for the the last 20-30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 8 hours ago, JonDolman said: He's bound to go with Reid. Engvall to come on if we're winning for Famara. That's an interesting point. We are all assuming it will be either Bobby or Engvall to partner Famara at one point or another during the match, lots saying both Bobby & Engvall are relatively untried. But Famara is totally untried isn't he, never kicked a ball in the Championship yet. Yes I hope we have another Kodjia/Tammy but who knows, he needs time too. Someone mentions giving Engvall 10 or 15 games to prove himself, but we really don't have that many games for anyone to settle. Mess about for that many games and we will be struggling all season again. We really need to look the part from the off. Obviously if we lose today that's not our season finished, as long as we can see some progress and potential. Yes we have players injured and suspended today, and maybe ones who have had their heads turned, so today won't be such a good indication of future set ups, but hopefully soon we might have an addition or two. Then we can settle and see how we are going to play this season, I don't want to be getting to March for example still experimenting to find our best starting 11.

hoxton casual Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Engvall has been on fire in a decent European league and plays for Sweden under 21's. Bobby has looked great in meaningless games. We have a dynamic midfielder in a korey Smith and we need goals. Only caveat is can Engvall play effectively with Diedhiou?

Bobby has played in a forward role against a load of cap pre-season. No contest here. Only LJ will play Bobby in front of a proven goal scorer. And at the moment, that would look to be a very good decision by LJ. Would you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt young Bobby has been flames pre-season against mainly nondescript opposition but of course you can only score against what's put in front of you. Gustav has also been in fine form but in "proper" football and has gone to Tenerife, returned to BS3 and notched a brace to help us win silverware in Gloucestershire the other week. So the dilemma is, who do you pick? The actual-real-striker or the obviously-skilful-but-untested-at-any-real-level-as-a-striker academy product? And why? COYR That answers your question.
