Wolf Island Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 What is your preferred starting XI for the forest match? Mine would be O’Leary; Pisano, Webster, Wright, Pring; Smith, Pack, Eliasson, Walsh; Eisa, Weimann Until the injury situation improves we will struggle to pick up points I fear.

CitySSeven Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 This is the team I'm hoping for: New GK, Hunt, Webster, Baker, Bryan, Eliasson, (any 2 of Smith, Pack, Brownhill), Paterson, Eisa, Weimann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Depends also on who will be fit, who will still be here and who may arrive. O'Leary Hunt Webster Baker Bryan or Pisano. I'd play Pring if J Bryan gone Brownhill Smith Pack Eliasson. Patterson and Weimann. That is what I think the team will be. It's not what I would do.

Robin1988 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Weimann hasn't been a striker for years and isn't much of a goalscorer. With that in mind I'd go: O'Leary, Hunt, Webster, Baker, Bryan/Kelly/Wright; Smith, Pack; Weimann, Paterson, Eliasson; Eisa. Didn't get down to the game on Friday and haven't seen much of Eisa beyond his goalscoring record so if he doesn't suit a 4-2-3-1 Taylor could do a decent job.

cidercity1987 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I see no reason why with all these wide players we would continue to play a CM out there.

Negan Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 O'Leary Hunt Webster Baker Bryan Adelakun Smith Pack O'Dowda Wiemann Eisa Not sure if all those players are fit but that would be my preferred starting 11. A new keeper (Ruddy) would be great. I think Brownhill needs to push Smith or Pack for a CM place now as we now have proper wingers. If Hakeeb and Callum aren't fit then i'd like it to be Pato and Eliasson. Hopefully this season we stay injury free and players can play in their natural positions.

1960maaan Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Most difficult team to pick for some time. Keeper , I still hope for incoming but otherwise only one option. RB : surely has to be Hunt LB : unless things move quickly , Bryan. CB's : Wright would be a starter as Captain (is he fit?) : Webster was a major signing so he should start but for most of last season Baker was our best defender. I'd say with doubts over BW then Webster and Baker. CM: Pack nailed on. The other position is not so certain. I like Brownhill in CM, but I think a lot depends on how attacking LJ wants to be. Solid means Josh at RMF, attacking it'll probably be COD. I didn't see the Bournemouth game very well , on my phone on holiday, but it sounds like Eliasson is pressing and as the other new winger is injured he could be a likely start. JB,MP,KS,NE Then we have maybe Pato and COD vying for the No10 position behind Weimann is likely. Djuric an impact sub. With so many knocks and injuries it's very difficult, add the new players and all the options we have (and then players returning) I doubt it will settle into a first Xl until after Fam's back.

Well concussion comes under injury, depends on the severity, medical staff would be slated if they let him anywhere near a match day if he weren't 100%, concussions can keep players out for weeks if they're bad.

The Coach Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 5 minutes ago, JonDolman said: What part is concerning? Quite a lot actually. Our potential goalkeeping issue unless we sign someone before Saturday, or O'Leary is calm and plays like a seasoned professional. Our current midfield pair, again we do not strengthen our most weakened area. Too many times opposition in the past opposition have ran through unchecked and unchallenged. Giving the view it is our defence that has issues. Another concern of mine is we do not seem to have real quality attacking power. Diedhiou is banned, and we do not know what will come with Eisa. I'm not convinced we have improved from last season but merely side stepped. However, this is all team on paper talk. So hopefully I am proved wrong.

brad blit Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I would say currently with Diedhiou out that we will see Patterson behind Weidmann as first choice, with Eisa (Pace) or Djuric (target man) replacing Weidmann whilst Taylor will compete with Patterson for the No10 role. Interesting to see (after Friday) that a few didn't rate Hunt, whereas I thought he had a good game, combined well with Elliasson, and had decent amount of pace to cover any issues.

Salernitana have come back with an improved bid, LJ says he wants to keep him but it is “down to the player” seeing as he used Diedhiou instead of him v Bournemouth (and he can’t play again until September) I reckon he’s off. Shame, offers us far more than Taylor does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LJ though has him behind Diedhiou, Weimann and Eisa as the main striker. And that's 6th choice if you include the number 10s. I think it's a bit of a stretch if you include the likes of Paterson as a 'striker'. He'll be used as a number 10 which, as we saw with Paterson and also Reid last season, is a pretty different role. I think someone like Djuric is incredibly useful to have. Obviously he has his physical attributes and aerial ability, but he's a far cleverer footballer than many give him credit for. We'd have a far weaker squad without him and I'm intrigued to see what he could do with a proper run in the team at full fitness. We also have a very gifted crosser of the ball developing nicely in Eliasson.. perfect for Djuric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
