Bernard Lerring Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Presumably weve benched the out n out wingers as we're highly unlikely to be beating their centre backs in the air. And so replaced them with players who have a trick or two and like to cut inside 1 Quote Link to comment
Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 1 minute ago, Alessandro said: Agreed - seems crazy to be in the position of having 2 centre backs out already and having to play a makeshift CB in a RB that's not in great form. Made crazier by last season and the failed shoe horning of several different options at right back, it is unprofessional, who will be next at CB my guess is Pack, maybe Smith or of course it might be a way of keeping Paterson on the team sheet.

BobBobSuperBob Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I know we have a few injuries but the strength of that side, on paper , and the bench is worrying tbh Prove me wrong City ..... Quote Link to comment
RUSSEL85 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'm not sure about the line up to be honest. Sounds negative but I'll take a draw again. Quote Link to comment

My worry is whether we have enough pace and creatively. That and of course the defence... Quote Link to comment

Agree As @Alessandro suggested I guess Watkins is in on height basis but if so we might have been better including COD as well Odds on Pisano conceding a penalty ? Quote Link to comment
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Well they are drilling as Hunt - Webster-Kelly-Pisano across back 2 Quote Link to comment
Buckeyed Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) The way they are warming up suggests Pisano at LB with Kelly as CB Edited August 18, 2018 by Buckeyed 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Boro have three in the middle of midfield so we have to match that. LJ has just said the plan is to get Watkins in behind Boro defence using his pace.So him Paterson and Weimann the front three. 2 minutes ago, BobBobSuperBob said: Well they are drilling as Hunt - Webster-Kelly-Pisano across back Kelly is 100% playing CB 1 Quote Link to comment
southvillekiddy Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 When is DaSilva going to get a start in his specialist position? Quote Link to comment
nebristolred Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Certainly looks more 4-4-1-1 to me (with Brownhill on the wing) but we will see soon! Quote Link to comment

Bit puzzled as to why we signed him and then play Pisano at LB. EP hasn't played too well so far and isn't even a LB. Is it just because of the size of the Boro team for this particular game rather than suggesting LJ doesn't trust DaSilva yet? Quote Link to comment

He looked completely lost and completely uncomfortable in that position. Didn’t know which way to turn, where to be and struggled to deal with the physicality of the Plymouth forwards. And what the hell has Eliasson done wrong? Madness, LJ tombola is back - except as usual Pato has a free pass to play. Quote Link to comment
