Prinny Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 So I think maybe the best idea for these threads is to start them a few hours early so it catches the pre match talk. Braver folks can also post what teams they want, so that when we start slagging off the team we can point to the evidence of what we would have done differently! I'll post both actual line ups as soon as they hit twitter (I will spam refresh) in a single post. So what team do you want and/or expect? I think it'll be the flexible 4-4-2 again but there are some interesting decisions to be made. Mawson assumedly comes in for Moore. Then you have to pick 2 wide players from 3. Adelakun/Palmer/Semenyo with Adelakun the man to miss out would be my choice. 2 from 3 in central midfield with Vyner/Bakinson and Nagy. I think Vyner has been the best of them, and I think Nagy will get his place back. Same up front where you pick two from 3 again, Diedhiou/Martin/Wells with Diedhiou a lock and I'd personally pick Wells over Martin. So this would be my preferred team to start. Bentley Hunt Kalas Mawson Rowe Semenyo Vyner Nagy Palmer Wells Diedhiou Link to comment
And Its Smith Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I would like to see this but living in dream land I expect Bentley Vyner. Kalas. Mawson. Rowe Massengo Nagy. Palmer Semenyo. Diedhiou. Owura Solid back 4 Creativity in midfield Excitement up front Link to comment

Sturny Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I'd like to see a similar team/formation that started Vs Millwall but swap Bakinson/Moore for Nagy/Kalas Link to comment

Bentley Hunt Kalas Mawson Rowe Semenyo Vyner Nagy Palmer Wells Diedhiou My team for tonight - based on what I’d like Dean to pick based on his current enthusiasm for 442:: Bentley Hunt | Kalas | Mawson | Rowe Semenyo | Bakinson | Vyner | Palmer Wells | Diedhiou So same front 6, Bentley, Mawson and Hunt back in....Bakinson I think is a better player for us than Nagy in this set up.....but not overly fussed either way.

Sturny Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I just hope Wells starts. I think his confidence will be higher than it's been for a while, we should utilise on that Link to comment

Out of interest Dave . Why do you like Palmer wide left ? Do you see it as a defensive 5 with Bakinson in front the back 4 and a interchanging front 5 ( can’t use fluid now ashtons soiled it) I worry about us defensively with Kasey wide left that we get overran / overloaded down that flank Link to comment
Rossi the Robin Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Winning last match = no tombola Expect Mawson for Moore at the very least Link to comment

Same team for me. Bakinson and Vyner look a good combo (who'd of thought that at the start of season). Nagy unlucky if left out but a long way to go. Wells looked a lot more confident against Millwall and linked well with midfield and Diedhiou. Really hope Semenyo can push on - starting tonight. Link to comment
bcfc01 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Worth reminding everyone that it is a 19.00 kick off tonight, not the usual 19.45... Link to comment

But I’m trying to pick a team that I’d like Dean to pick - within the way I think he might be thinking! But I also feel that whilst Kasey gets fully fit / match fit, the centre of midfield might leave us exposed...and I actually think him drifting in off the left onto his right works in our current need to play narrow. Ideally I’d play a totally different way, but I’m not DH Link to comment

I remember Coventry away when we won 3-0 and the following season won 3-0 again and had a few quid on it - paid for our trip, tickets, and a good night out. I'll do a Fevs (a quid) on the 5-2. Back to reality, I think a squeaky 2-1 win @ 8/1. Link to comment

Kodjias Wrist Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Four defeats on the bounce but did play Reading and Watford in the last four. Let's see early doors how up for it they are. Link to comment

Martin seems a favourite of Holden's and will be surprised if after being rested he is not starting tonight. I fear you might be right....but with Fam and Wells (and Antoine) scoring at the weekend, I’m assuming they have confidence on their side....and I’d pick Wells over Martin. But as above I ain’t the head-coach, Link to comment

It’s that age old argument of thinking behind recruitment though. What system suits our squad best ? Link to comment

sh1t_ref_again Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Think Nagy could feel rightly aggrieved if left out after being our best player in many recent games, so would go Bentley Hunt | Kalas | Mawson | Rowe Nagy | Bakinson | Vyner | Palmer Semenyo | Diedhiou Link to comment

He is our Pirlo now. Plays in slippers with a fat cigar and smoking jacket. Slight exaggeration but he's looked very comfortable and effective in that role. Link to comment

Might as well give Bents a rest and put him in goal Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Think Nagy in for Bakinson. Young Bakinson is good but a risk in defensive, prefer Nagy. Interesting to see what Holden think. Link to comment

Palmer is just too slow to turn and exposes that entire flank IMO. Link to comment
