cidered abroad Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 If that turns out to be correct, it will be a landmark selection by LJ. The first time that Aden Flint is not selected to start since he joined us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I don't see many changes from the end of last year, our new Italian RB and FD for Tammy, plus Bobby just off of the striker . The CB pairing is a question though. I don't see Flint being effected and I'm not sure LJ thinks Baker is quite ready. We know he's not sure about Mags so I wouldn't be surprised (unless someone puts a real bid in) to see the same 3 as last year making up the back 4, Bryan is level headed enough not to worry about speculation and besides LJ doesn't see Golbourne and Mags as starting LBs. Reid's form has to make him a starter, and the midfield basically picks itself, at this late date we could sign anyone and I doubt they'd make the starting 11.

And Its Smith Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 If it isnt this I will be surprised: Fielding Pisano Flint Wright Bryan Brownhill Smith Pack Paterson Reid Diedhiou Subs: Lucic, Magnússon, Moore, Golbourne, Hegeler, O'Dowda, Engvall I don't reckon anyone has predicted a first XI and bench from Johnson yet but this is a safe bet surely.

chipdawg Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Whether or not Flint plays is probably going to depend on how firm any interest is in him by then. If no one has actually tabled a serious bid, I think he'll play. If a deal looks close or a bid has come in that's close to our valuation, I don't think he'll even be on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon uk Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Yeah i would suspect that will be the team as well. I hope they are feeling energetic, because apart from that i can see us struggling to compete unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty close I reckon but trying to predict LJs starting 11 is never easy.. As for the bench, that's even more difficult. Hopefully as the season progresses LJ will find a regular starting 11.

ashton_fan Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Barnsley have had a poor pre-season losing 4-0 to Rotherham in their last game. Barnsley fans not very confident and would bite your hand off if offered a draw Saturday. Looking at other clubs in the Division makes you appreciate how well our pre-season has gone, you can never tell until the first proper game but I'm quite optimistic about this season.

Monkeh Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I don't I'm optomistic, I think we are going to do a preston, not be amazing but not involved in a relegation battle, we are bang on for midtable, think there are more then 3 teams worse then us this season and we are no where near good enough for a play-off challenge, as it stands I think we'll finish above bolton, Burton, Ipswich, Shef United, QPR, Barnsley and Preston, and be in that pack fighting for the glory thats 10th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this is about right, but if Flint is gone I expect Wright to move right and Hegeler to be left of the centre backs. On the bench I expect to see Vyner rather than Moore and another forward in Hines rather than Golbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtonwurzel Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hegeler will be playing unless Flint commits to City. Baker is available for the following game so no point in playing Flint if there is any chance he is leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bad line up although some will naturally worry that it is pretty similar to what we ended last season with, albeit without Taylor, Little and Tammy. Those 3 were ever present in that settled 11 that performed in the season-saving run at the end.

I still think its too early to predict anything. There's so many unknowns. Every season has teams that under and over achieve - it's why we all follow this stupid sport. I'll be watching Wolves with interest - can a team of Portuguese imports deliver on their promise? Fulham finished so strongly last year but will they manage to carry it over into this season? Which of the promoted teams will perform well? Just how bad are Sunderland? Having said all that - I'm confident we won't be relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
