BCFC OF SWEDEN Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Niki Hunt, Webster, Kalas, Kelly Eliasson, Pack, Brownhill, Watkins (O´Dowda if Watkins is injured) Famara, Weimann Much more balanced team and a better defence compared to last year!

ExiledAjax Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'd start O'Dowda over Watkins regardless of the latter's fitness (and switch Eliasson to the left and have O'Dowda on the right). Also I think Taylor has done enough to keep his starting place. Fammy on for him in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I’d get Famara back in for Wiemann. I remember very clearly that many on here said he wouldn’t be any good...! In all seriousness, I can’t see us changing a winning team (injury permitting) and I think we’ll see Famara in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I would go COD on the right and Eliasson on the left. I get people saying they wouldn’t change a winning side but i would. Fam is a serious upgrade on Taylor and while Taylor worked hard and at times made it awkward for defenders these last few games, I don’t think that is why we won. 2 ok games from MT is not enough for me to forget the other 18 months. Diedhiou all day for me. That said i would not be surprised if it is a bit too early to start him after basically a month off(from competitive matches).

southvillekiddy Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Also depends what's going on in training but watching the full replay you can see the amount of work that Taylor is doing in roughing up the opposition defence and defending from the front, as well as laying the ball off to Niclas and Weinmann and putting players in on goal eg. COD. So I'm imagining that LJ won't change things unless there is a reason. Fammy will come on late as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Think Taylor will start and Famara on the bench. Watkins from start If he is fit, think he is good maybe not showed it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 3-3-3-1 is in fashion in the Premiership. How about: Maenpaa Kalas Webster Baker Hunt Pack Kelly Weiman Brownhill Eliassen Diedhiou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Clean sheet? Thoughts? I'd start COD as he did well when he came on. And keep Taylor in the starting line up, he's played well and is at least a good squad player. Dropping him would be bad for his moral and show other players that performance doesn't matter. Excited to have Fammy back but bring him on after 60 mins that way he gets 30 and Taylor gets a chance to show he can make the step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our most complete performance in a long time and confidence is bound to be high. Fam will need some time to ensure his match fitness is back to where it needs to be, and Blackburn are on a good run. Though depending on Hunt's fitness there may have to be a shuffle - i.e. bringing in Pisano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Odowda is upgrade on Watkins for me. MT will start but hes only keeping Fams place warm. Weimann/Fam partnership is mouthwatering prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted August 29, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I get what people are saying about giving MT the first hour but I'd do it the other way round and get an hour into Fam's legs, roughing up the defenders before bringing on Taylor to take advantage in the closing stages. Two week break after this game so I think 60mins would be good for Fam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two week break after this game so I think 60mins would be good for Fam. It’s a tough one, because normally it’s a case of not wanting to rush a player back from injury, in case ofva recurrence, but that’s not the case with Diedhiou. The ideal scenario, would’ve have been to have won v Plymouth to give Famara the start in Rd2, and evaluate how ready he was to start v Blackburn. I think personally I’d start with MT and AW. The two games they’ve started together, we’ve won, we’ve defended from the front better, coincidence of two clean sheets (?), and as crap as it sounds, it might be a lucky pairing or at least a pairing that seems to work and get results. I don’t think most people thought Reid and Pato was a good pairing on paper, surely we’ll get outmuscled, etc, but it worked because it forced us to play channels and feet and Reid and Pato knew where they were expected to run. There was no point in lofting high balks forward, so the players knew if there was no ball to feet, a clipped ball down the sides of the CBs would find a willing runner, and often CB would clear into touch with the whole team advancing 40 yards up the pitch. From there we made it difficult for teams to get out. There are two other questions: Watkins or O’Dowda Hunt or Pisano (if Hunt still seeing stars) Ultimately LJ is picking a starting eleven from the same set of 14 players we are all considering. I would be disappointed if LJ picked a starter from outside that 14. There is no way Baker comes into the reckoning for a starting berth imho. Paterson is second in line at best to Taylor, and more likely wide cover if Diedhiou is ready to play at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If MT doesn't start then he will feel he has been dropped and if you want players fighting for the shirt you can't drop them if they've stepped up. MT has had two good games and scored in one of them. It was an important goal as well and whilst not beautiful was out of nothing and put us on the front foot in a game that was pretty uninspiring at that point. The idea of Fammy and Wieman is really exciting but we don't need to rush to get there. It's a long season that combination will come at some point.

redsquirrel Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 id bring him on after 60 mins too if needed.no point in starting him to find out hes blowing out his arse at half time. not saying he would be but could be a wasted sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Diedhiou plays with Weimann, who's going to be central striker ? Weimann is loving that role, and scoring goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider-Head23 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 As good as Taylor has been I'd bring in Famara. And Reid scored a shed load playing off Diedhiou, so I dont see why Weimann cant repeat that. Especially with the form he's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
