Yates Sarkic
Go on name your fist 11 from what you’ve seen so far !Maxwell Yates Anderson all nailed on
Kai Kai and CJ wont be far off
Virtue Ward robson Sarkic and Antwi will be fighting for midfield berth but I suspect we will get a loan in there
Thorniley did ok today and Husband will be involved
I reckon we will get 2-3 more permanents and 3-4 loans so I am sure back up keeper, 2 centre halfs a right back and another quality player in the middle will be the priority
We still need a lot in to make us good things to go up. Blatantly obvious that right back and centre halfs need strengthening
First 11 ?I think Howe, Feeney, Nuttall, Turton and Nottingham will be bit part players and I suspect a couple of them wont be here all season. I will give Big Marv the benefit of the doubt for now but that was nowhere near good enough to guarantee a first team slot
You've just named all 3 players capable of filling in at right back, one of them will have to playI think Howe, Feeney, Nuttall, Turton and Nottingham will be bit part players and I suspect a couple of them wont be here all season. I will give Big Marv the benefit of the doubt for now but that was nowhere near good enough to guarantee a first team slot
It won’t be that.I’ll start with
Maxwell
Turton Nottingham, Thorniley, Husband.
Antwi
Sarkic, Robson.
Anderson, Yates , KaiKai.
I’d hope we start with 11 playersMaxwell ( plus his silver hammer)
Turton, Nottingham, Husband, McDonald
Sarkic, Robson, Kaikai
Yates, Anderson
This thread is about opinions based on two pre season games , none of us know who will start .It won’t be that.
I didn’t know we had signed Charlie yet !Maxwell
Howe. Nottingham. Thorniley. Husband
Adam
Kai Kai. Antwi
Anderson
Sarkic. Yates.
Where’s your 11 WalwynSurprised so many people put husband as a centre half. He is only 5’ 10 or so . A sweeper perhaps but not a ctr half for me .
He hasn’t signed or played but he’s already proven his placeI didn’t know we had signed Charlie yet !
Put your 11 up based on the two games . It’s about opinions !What are all these votes for Nottingham?? Am I missing something here? Dreadful player
He better had.I haven’t a clue and I’m sure Mr . Critchley won’t be taking advice from here.
He’s simply played really well so far. He’s surprised me massively. Even Turton surprised on the upside today. I like seeing this in the squad, suggests they are keen.What are all these votes for Nottingham?? Am I missing something here? Dreadful player
I’m not asking for him to take advice, I’m just asking for peoples personal opinion on a first 11, it’s easy really, and I find it interesting to see how much opinions differ .I haven’t a clue and I’m sure Mr . Critchley won’t be taking advice from here.
So who would be in your starting 11 for the next game ?There are 46 League games, probably a total of 4 competitive Cup games, and another (say) 4 in the lower league Cup competition.
It’s a numbers game. Having 15 or so really good players gets you to the the top of the league by the end of Sept, mid table by Christmas, and about 18th by April, Injuries, suspensions and exhaustion take their toll.
There is no first team. To succeed, at least 24 quality players are needed, with 18 of them needed each game. You can never have too many good players.
As you say lots of options through mid-field and up front with most players interchangeable and I don't mind that.Not sure what my 11 would be. Critchley is obviously looking to play out from the back so will be looking at defenders who are comfortable on the ball which we are short of at the moment.
Turton's distribution from right back is gash but was decent today playing from centre-back.
Big Marv looks to play the ball on the floor but had so dodgy moments where he gave the ball away today but has pace to help recover his mistakes.
MacDonald is very comfortable on the ball so would put him in at left back.
Right back is an issue though Howe was okayish - hopefully he can fill the role but this might be where we need to get a good, young EPL loanee.
Midfield and upfront we have a myriad of options, most of whom could do a job.
So I'd go for the following at moment.
Maxwell
Howe, Big Marv, Turton, MacDonald
Ward Virtue Anwi
CJ Anderson
Yates
** hell, that was difficult and I'll probably have changed my mind totally by this time next week.
It's a very good point but whoever thought Cameron Antwi would have put in two MOM performances.An alarming amount of people not including KaiKai;
I’m backing him to be our best player next season, and he’s scored 2 (albeit poor opposition) already.
I also though he, as well as Yates, chased a lot down today.
That’s why I picked him in my opening line up, he’s been fantastic!It's a very good point but whoever thought Cameron Antwi would have put in two MOM performances.
To be fair , they haven’t made much of an impact, probably through no fault of their own .Madine and Nutall not getting much of a look in
