Silvio Dante Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I think Jack Hunt will start. Periera had to go off last week and was struggling with the pace first twenty, add to that Bailey being out and I think LJ will want the extra experience. I think we may go 5-3-2 Bentley Hunt/ Kalas/ Moore / Baker /Rowe Nagy/ Brownhill / Palmer Weimann / Afobe Subs Gilmartin Massengo Diedhiou Semenyo O’Dowda Periera Eliasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 As LJ likes to throw up a surprise now and then, and as Brownhill was pretty anonymous against Leeds.

Bentley Periera Kalas Baker Rowe Massengo Hagy Eliasson Palmer Weimann Afobe Thought Brownhill was good against Brum. Probably because he had Nagy next to him instead of Pack.

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Afobe and Weimann up top. Weimann's movement created a lot of space for Afobe at Brum which led to 2 very good chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 We defended really well against Birmingham and made several opportunities so I can't see LJ changing it apart from Moore for BW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a strong chance we will continue the 5212 / 3412 we played last week v Brum. Think Pereira will have recovered from a dead-leg and Hunt came off on Tuesday too (Owers said he thought he may have had a little strain). I do like the look of 2 up top, one strong one, one nippy, clever one...ideal. With Palmer behind it has a feel of Football Manager about it. It does however leave question marks over Eliasson (and possibly O’Dowda - although I think his contract situation isn’t helping). Of course we could go 4231 / 4411 with Palmer off Afobe and play wide men? But in accommodating Eliasson we lose a striker. The other option is a narrow 4132, again shades of Football Manager, but retains two strikers, but maybe leaves Eliasson playing narrow? I think tomorrow will give us an indication of future team style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I posted about a 41212 in the Massengo thread saying I’d like us to try something like this - Bentley Hunt Kalas Baker Rowe Nagy Brownhill Massengo Palmer Wiemann Afobe Can’t see Johnson starting with it though.

I like the 3-4-1-2 it seems to suit the players we now have, although sidelines some others. Intriguing and looking forward to tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because you think there are further injuries? Going by likely options as starters and subs (if Pereira/ Hunt fit): Bentley | Gilmartin Hunt | Pereira Rowe Kalas | Baker | Moore Brownhill | Nagy | Massengo Palmer | Szmodics Diedhiou | Afobe | Weimann | Semenyo (club developed) that’s 17 slots out of 18 taken. Options for the golden ticket? Walsh - surely ahead of Tyreeq O’Dowda - between him and Walsh I reckon Taylor - unlikely to need a 5th striker Adelakun - Baldwin - unlikely with 6 defenders already picked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Two up top at home for me, and Diedhiou must be one of them. Whoever plays alongside him must be instructed to play close to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoch Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The problem LJ has is trying to get Elliason in to team while still playing with two upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliason consistently puts great crosses into to the back post which is crying out for a striker to finish them off. He also is by far the best corner taker in the team.

That's due to the fact that it was first game of the season, fitness levels aren't what they will be players were knackered he wasn't. Unfortunately unless he can develope the defensive side of his game or we change our system to incorporate him he will be forever on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97Red Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I think we'll go with a similar team to that which played Brum last week. But with Moore coming in for Wright, being the one big change. Could possibly see Famara in for Weimann but other than that, just the one change.

Cannybluff Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Personally I'd like to see... Bentley Pereira Kalas Baker Rowe Eliasson Nagy Massengo Brownhill Palmer Diedhiou/Afobe When you're picking a team it shows how many options you have with players left out... Just hope we don't use the philosophy we seem to use too much at home which tends to be to stay in the game and keep it tight until the last 20 minutes and then make some changes. Like us to be more on the front foot...coyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As predicted, Eliasson made his sub’s appearance. I wish he would limit the stopovers and just cross the ball when he gets an opportunity. He’s the best crosser we have but seems to be on some mad-cap “step-over” fest whenever he’s in possession. Defenders would be far more scared if he just ran fast and direct, looking to cross at the earliest opportunity when in a good position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
