GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Would like to think we now have the players strong enough to play a 4-4-2 in this league. -------------------- Johnstone -------------------- Bree ------ Chester ---- Terry ------ Taylor Elmo -- Lansbury -- Whelan -- Grealish --------------- Kodjia -------------------------------- -------------------------- Hogan --------------------- Think that's how i'd start (once Kodjia is fit) and use our two proper wingers, Adomah and Green as 'finishers' who can come on and really punish a tired defense. Also the option to bring Jedi on for one of the strikers if we need to defend a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The first couple of games have made me have a re-think about how I would choose my best starting eleven for occasions and we have all players fit or as we are now: Now: Johnstone or Steer Bree Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Onomah Elmohamady O'Hare Green Hogan Subs: Steer or Johnstone, De Laet, Samba, Gabby, Lansbury, Adomah, Bjarnasson. All Fit = Replace Hogan with Kodjia in the starting line-up. Hogan replaces Gabby on the bench. Jedinak replaces Samba. I think that gives us a good mix of youth and experience throughout the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says something when the weakest link in that team is probably Green, a player with bags of potential just in need of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) As much as it's against the flow of opinion, I haven't seen anything to suggest Bree should be starting ahead of Hutton yet. I feel Bree is put in most teams because he's not Hutton rather than what he offers. Besides, Hutton was one of our best players in first half against Hull. Furthermore O'Hare is not ready to be an automatic starter. Promote him to the bench yes, give him a lot more game time certainly but let's not overhype yet another kid. He played ok/well in spells against a very weak opposition. That's all 90% of the fan base have seen of him! And in addition I certainly wouldn't want so much inexperienced youth as our sole attacking options - Green is far away from a finished article. There are calls for LB signing to cover Taylor but more pressing is a starting LM/ Winger as we currently have no-one reliable there. So with that in mind, assuming all fit (probably more a 4-1-3-2); Johnstone Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Adomah Whelen Onomah Hourihane Hogan Kodjia With bench made up of likes of Steer, Green, O'Hare, Lansbury, Bree, Gabby and Samba EDIT: I completely forgot about Elmo. Sod it, too many midfielders. Let's just have a team of midfielders... Edited August 10, 2017 by jackbauer24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's a hard one to pick a best eleven, but I would say probably; Steer Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Elmo Whelan Onomah Adomah Hogan Kodjia but then Jedi is coming back too, De Laet may be a better option at RB, Green is really coming on (although not great against Colchester) and Adomah isn't a natural on the left. Onomah looks good, but that's based on little game time. Its good that, other than RB as Hutton isn't great, the back four picks itself. That's a luxury we haven't had for a long time.

Sod it, too many midfielders. Let's just have a team of midfielders... Hutton played well against Hull but Bree offers more for me and will only get better. Saturday was Huttons peak. Hopefully RDL can prove his fitness and stake a claim as he'll be the best option this year. Left side is now our weak point. No natural left footed winger and no cover for Taylor. We could do with a left footed Elmo! Address that and our team is sorted. OHare needs to be on the bench for now he needs testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) The defence still looks shaky, and Davis and Hogan look made for each other. So i would like to see the following.
