StewieGriffin Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Pretty much the XI that everyone wanted I think. Bench is rank though apart from Richards not being on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmacf Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Starting line up is strong but bench is worrying. Mind, wouldn't look so bad if not for Gestede and Tishbola but highlights how close we are from a tricky situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted August 27, 2016 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2016 1 hour ago, It's Your Round said: Good to hear from decent fans from around the country, welcome to the site. I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind? How do you rate Baker? What are Kodija's strengths and weaknesses? And do you think he'll leave this season? Baker played well for us, although wasn't one to back out of a tackle and was always one tackle away from a red card. Kodjia is fast and can cause problems running at people, his problem seems to be passing at the right time or shooting too late.. Although his main weakness seems to be staying onside, I'm not sure they use offside in France! Im not sure on him leaving as he's enjoying his time from what I can see, and our main shareholder has said he will only sell him to a PL team and for over 10M. So unless an offer of that comes in we should be okay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Just now, Demitri_C said: So your suggesting playing a left sided mid fielder in place of right? No, Amavi on the left and Ayew on the right. Ayew's been playing on the right lately anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The line up makes sense, although would prefer Green over Bacuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably bring in a new CB aswell with all the likely departures. Things could well look a whole lot rosier in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Happy with that line up. Still need midfielder wide player and forward but that's a decent solid looking if not exciting team line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 First XI looks very good for the Championship, the bench however is severely lacking. Once Tshibola and Gestede are back and we confirm the 3 mooted signings we will be in pretty good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
