mightyreds89 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Might get some flack for this but I think we have good players but will struggle to get the right balance currently our best 11 players gives us no width at all as we’d end up playing 3/5/2 (no quality wing backs until JD back) or 4/3/3, 4/2/3/1 not later especially doesn’t give us enough going forward at home. I’d go with a little bit of an odd formation that for me gets our possible best 11 on the pitch. I,d go as follows and play unchanged for 4/5 games 3/4/1/2 Maenpaa Moore/Pireria Kalas Baker Brownhill Massengo Naggy COD Palmer Afobe Semenyo subs Famara wieman Rowe Hunt Elliason Bentley Moore/Pireria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore being in there means at least 1 of the CBs is comfortable on the ball. Think at home we’re more likely to see either O’Dowda or Eliasson start though which would mean this formation would be less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliant Robin Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Kalas and Baker for me. Felt Moore was not as commanding or as aggressive as Baker last night and the half won headers create a lot of our issues at the back. In his defence playing next to Wright at the moment is not helping anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingLear Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 First choice 11 for me currently: Bentley Pereira Baker Kalas Dasilva Nagy Brownhill Eliasson Palmer Weimann Afobe We may see Massengo push Brownhill hard for that starting spot though.

LondonBristolian Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 For me: 1) We don't (yet) have a centre-back pairing that convinces. 2) Not yet seen enough of Pereira to comment but Hunt, Rowe and arguably JD are more suited to wing-back roles than out and out full backs. 3) Nagy can hold the middile 4) We could do with a front 2 - I don't think either Diedhiou are lone strikers) 5) Palmer could be a great option with freedom to play. 6) Szmodics needs time and confidence but become a great player for us given both. That in mind, I'd want to see something similar to England at the last world cup - back three, holding midfielder and two attacking midfielders. Maybe: ---------------------------------------------------------------Bentley ----------------------------Moore-----------------------Kalas-------------------Baker Pereira-------------------------------------------------Nagy---------------------------------Rowe (JD once fit) -----------------------------------Palmer---------------------------Szmodics -----------------------------------Weimann----------------------Diedhiou/Afobe Subs: Wright Hunt (Rowe once JD fit) Brownhill HNM Eliasson Diedhiou/Afobe Semenyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Bentley Hunt, Kalas, Moore, Rowe Nagy, Brownhill Weimann, Palmer, Eliasson Afobe I think that will/should be the team for Saturday although I think LJ might start Baker instead of Eliasson. Or who knows he'll get the bingo boards back out and it could be completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Maenpaa Pereira Kalas Moore Dasilva (Obviously Rowe for the time being) Weimann Nagy Brownhill Eliasson Afobe Diedhiou Harsh on Palmer but think he’s better as a super sub to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'd always go Maenpaa and Dasilva when fit. But for Saturday i would go Bentley Perreira. Kalas. Moore. Rowe Massengo Nagy Brownhill. Palmer. Eliasson Afobe No Weimann. I think Brownhill is better and has shown what he can do on the right in the past. That's assuming Massengo is as good as the Tuesday game suggests.

bcfcnick Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Maenpaa Pereira Kalas Baldwin Rowe Brownhill Nagy Elliason or O'dowda Palmer Semenyo Afobe Massengo will be pushing Brownhill for a start soon but he's only 19 and it's best to ease him in slowly. Baldwin is 22 and I've been impressed with him the two times I've seen him play at lower levels of course. He is fairly pacy, can bring the ball out of defence, fairly physical and played a couple f games at left back for Cheltenham on loan before injury so he could play left of Kalas. If Maenpaa is ready I'd play him. Bentley hasn't been at obvious fault for the goals that have been shipped but Maenpaa seems to give confidence to the defence.

I have asked myself that same question a few times and like you, came to the conclusion that he could do nothing about each goal. But then I question myself again and ask would other keepers not have come out for a certain cross or perhaps positioned themselves better to be in with a chance of getting nearer the shot/header. The odds are that of the 15 goals he has conceded (including the Forest Green and Palace games) he clearly must have been at fault for a good few of them even if visually that does not appear to be the case. I'm still to be convinced by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bentley is a good keeper, I just have a preference for Maenpaa who seems unflappable, appears to have a calming influence on the defence and makes hard saves look relatively straightforward by good positioning / anticipation. It was understandable given Maenpaa was long-term injured to go into the transfer market for a new keeper but I would have kept O'leary as number two. With O'leary and Wollacott, City have two very talented keepers going forward. The latter along with McCoulsky saw Forest Green into the next round of the Cup.
