Eddie Notgetinya Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'd guess our starting X1 with the current squad will be: Fielding Pisano, Flint, Wright/Mags, Bryan Pato, Brownhill, Smith, O'Dowda Reid Diedhiou The lack of width and pace worries me, we only have one out and out winger in COD, two at a push including Pato (CAM by trade). Brownhill has to be CM for me as that's where he's at his best and whilst I'd be happy with Bryan out wide LJ won't play him there despite Mags being an international LB. There are currently no wide replacements and this keeps me up at night. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Overlapping full backs will be the key if this is how we set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs Pack definitely, and maybe Hegeler In place of ODowda and Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Notgetinya Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 It doesn't matter who plays as such, My point is there's no natural pace and width so what happens when plan A doesn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, two then. How many wingers do you want? C O'D is pretty quick and Pato is no slouch. I would prefer a winger by trade rater than Pato. He needs to play as a 10 IMHO.

Bristol Rob Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Based on last season, I'm hoping Lee uses set of balls 2 and Merlin. We did quite well then. Set of balls 3 and Galahad was a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hence our supposed (hopefully true) interest in Eliasson. We have IMO lacked width for sometime, the prospect of getting more quality crosses in for whoever is up front would provide more options and goal scoring opportunities.

JamesBCFC Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Jonny Smith is a winger in our youth sides, highly rated when we signed him a year ago. Not sure he'd be ready for first team football though. Bloody quick mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonwurzel Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Play Bryan as a wide midfielder/winger and bring in a left back, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
