MrRedRobin Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Well after the disappointment of Swansea what team are we going for Middlesbrough in an important game. Injured players: Max O’ Leary- Dead leg Rob Atkinson- Calf Matty James- Foot Andy King- Hamstring Callum O’ Dowda-? Nathan Baker- Concussion George Tanner- Hamstring Kasey Palmer- ? The team I would pick Bentley Dasilva Kalas Klose Pring Williams Massengo Scott Weimann Semenyo Martin Substitutes: Harvey Wiles- Richards, Wells, Cundy, Vyner, Conway, Benarous, Bell or Idhen The formation would be a 4-3-1-2. I think Pearson will stick with a back 3 and maybe play someone like Cundy over Vyner. But with the injuries I think that is the best lineup for tomorrow. I am going for a 2-1 loss tomorrow but hopefully I am wrong. COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Pearson will be giving him a game any time soon because he likes the attacking trio of Martin, Semenyo and Weimann but would like to see Wells given a go soon.

I don't see the WSM trio being broken up unless it's due to injury. And even then I think NP would more likely go with a line-up that excluded Wells. I've never been wholly convinced by him, but there again he's never had enough of a run in the team, certainly not in his preferred position. History will no doubt chalk this up as an ill-conceived January panic buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waconda Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Despite all the bluster there will be limited changes. Maybe a change in shape though. Glad to hear NP say he won't sacrifice our attacking threat to shore up the defence - I'm going tomorrow ! Bentley Kalas Cundy Klose Pring Scott Williams Massengo Weimann Martin Semenyo Not my choice but can see him doing something along these lines.

He said it would be an “interesting” selection. In his pre match official press conference (not THAT one), he talked more about limited options & having to be my creative to find solutions. My hunch is; Bentley Scott Kalas Cundy Klose Pring HNM Williams Weimann Martin Semenyo Subs basically everyone else, so Vyner, Dasilva, Benarous, Wells, Conway, Bell & Wiles-Richards.

Bentley Kalas Cundy Klose Pring Scott Williams Massengo Weimann Martin Semenyo Not my choice but can see him doing something along these lines. I’m certainly expecting a new right back tomorrow…Nige seems to have alluded to this when saying Boro attack a lot down their left wing / our RB channel. I’d err towards your back 4, but if Nige feels Cundy isn’t ready, got a sneak suspicion he might play Alex Scott at RB. I would have no concerns with that either. Do you either go with something like you suggest (no issues) or: Bentley Scott | Kalas | Klose | Pring Williams Massengo | Benarous Weimann Martin | Semenyo Only suggesting a diamond because a few others have suggested it in the Pack thread in the transfer sub-forum. I’m not fussy btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to say that after every iffy performance. Then he either doesn’t make many changes or realises the squad is so thin that he can’t change much. I reckon the closest to a surprise will be one of Cundy or Dunc Idehen coming in with maybe Kalas at right back. The midfield and forward line pretty much picks itself unless Williams or James suddenly have 90 mins in them. I’d like to see Wells in but not sure how he’d fit other than maybe replacing Martin.

Bentley Kalas Cundy Klose Pring Scott Williams Massengo Weimann Martin Semenyo Not my choice but can see him doing something along these lines. I think 10 of those are nailed on to start as they've all been playing ok (Pring maybe a couple of poor decisions lately and Bentley just back), not sure about Cundy though and also not sure if it will be three or four at the back. Maybe move Pring forward if its a back three. If its a back four I've no problem at all with Kalas as right back. Harsh on Dasilva despite his mistakes lately, he's done ok for a left hooker playing on the right but Kalas is a better option imo. NP did allude to an "interesting" line up but there isn't a lot he can do to make it interesting imo. Maybe sticking Cundy in the team and Kalas right back is the interesting bit ?

1960maaan Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Surprises and M'boro attack a lot down their right. I wonder if he will double up with Pring & DaSilva down the left. I'll ignore how pissed off I was with DaSilva for the goal last week, we have very few options. I think it's possible he may go something like ... Bentley Kalas - Kose - Pring Scott Williams DaSilva Massengo Weimann Martin - Semenyo The options at CB are inexperienced, so can't really afford to risk moving Kalas to RB. That would be my preferred option ATM if we had the choice to go 4 at the back. I guess he could go Kalas - Klose - Pring - DaSilva , but I think that's risky too, and no one to cover in front of JD. All we have as options are. Wells Cundy Idehen Conway Benarous Conway Vyner With the young keeper , we have just over a bench full. doesn't leave much room for many surprises really. I'd love to see Conway or Benarous start for Martin. Not going to happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyner I agree, would not even have him on the bench. Needs to be let go. We need to give some game time to Cundy and Idehen to see if they can step up to the mark in defence. Vyner had all the chances he should be given, never going to cut-it at Championship level in my opinion. DaSilva I thought has looked pretty good since returning, esp. given been playing on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redpole Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 I can see NP mixing it up tomorrow, I can see Kalas starting RB with Idehen coming in at CB alongside Kose and Pring LB. then going 3 in midfield Massengo, Scott and Williams. with Benarous in behind Semenyo and Weimann.

Vyner Williams Pring Massengo Weimann Semenyo Would expect Dasilva on for Pring on 60ish mins. And Martin could be a very effective sub last 20 or so on for Weimann. If the Semenyo - Weimann strike force is not working so well then make that change earlier. Cundy being centre of the 3 will hopefully mean he won't have to do too much running in his first start. Rather like Klose on his first start for us. Looks more solid to me having Massengo as the most advanced. His best performance for us away at QPR was in that role. And without Martin starting it still looks a team capable of dealing with set pieces. No way in hell would I moving Scott to RM/RWB to accommodate Vyner in central midfield. Bonkers. Bentley; Kalas, Cundy, Klose, Pring; Scott, Williams, Massengo; Benarous, Semenyo, Weimann. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be willing to bet he doesn’t play for us again, Pearson said he will be out for 4-6 weeks & his contract is up this summer. We will almost certainly be mathematically safe by then & I don’t think he will be in NP’s plans for 22/23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had enough of square pegs in round holes over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
