Mr Popodopolous Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hope I'm wrong and tbh not even seen the highlights or the goals yet but Simpson at RB doesn't fill me with confidence- unless Vyner was that bad/culpable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 It will be an interesting team pick. We will see by who he leaves who is not doing what he wants. Would love to see Kalas back to start but surely at right back. The rest of the team is open to opinion but I do not see s formation change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pace and movement up front That ought to be a decent championship side, with decent championship players, i cant explain why we are so awful??

bcfc01 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 For me; Bentley Simpson Kalas Atkinson JD James King Weimann Wells COD Martin You can call it 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, or 4-4-1-1, I don't care. We need more up top, simples. Edit: Looking at it, Wells and Martin could rotate their positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter1450 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’d bring the kit man back in on the right wing to give us a bit of width,probably still has more pace than half the current squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Have to admit I hadn't realised just how much trouble Reading were in. Was listening to Fighting Talk earlier and they were saying that in the League Cup they basically had to play the U18s. Very thin squad by all accounts, and not much optimism at all. Could we nick three points and get the season going? On the team - I expect Kalas to come back in, possibly COD as well. Pearson said after Boro there will be changes.

1960maaan Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 From Pearson's after match I expect 2/3 changes. If we keep the same shape, and I think we will , it will be Baker out & Kalas in. I have a feeling Scott might get a rest , COD coming in and Palmer moving central. I wouldn't be surprised in Nhaki get's a start too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Bentley Vyner Kalas Atkinson Dasilva James Massengo Weimann Palmer COD Wells No need to tire out King and Martin. King hasn’t played much for past few seasons and we saw Martin break down last season. Pretty much same thinking with Baker although I like the balance better with Kalas RCB. COD for Scott as no need to burn the young man out. No problem with him being fresh legs late on though. Think we need one traditional wide player for balance too.

GrahamC Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 3 hours ago, The Journalist said: I will be very worried if he changes shape after two league games. Be amazed if he did. He made the point on Friday we played 3 at the back last season & struggled, so can’t see it. Got a couple of decisions to make at the back, does he go to Simpson (who was dreadful v Villa), where does Kalas fit in, plus Wells and/or Martin, but the consensus in the majority of the sides in this thread shows it is a limited pool to pick from.

Then put Scott where Wells was. Get Wells to be mobile and Scott will set him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTeamInBristol Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Whoever he plays we desperately need 2 up front. If we're relying on COD to come back in and provide the spark we may as well move on to Friday now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Think HNM will play tomorrow night. He gives us a lot more energy. Would be tempted to play him behind the striker to help press and close down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a poor game against Villa but Vyner was shite last time out. I'm pretty sure that Simpson will get the nod for the Reading game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Yate Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Could we not play a 433? Gets Wells in the side, without dropping Weimann or Martin, and as we don't really have any wide options then it would make sense to just play 3 central midfielders. Wells/Martin/Weimann performed well together in the early days of Holden's reign last season. I think HNM can add some much needed energy to the midfield too.
