Team Vs Dull based on new signings?

[Glevum_Hoop]

Think Harry will go with the guys who have had an extended pre season, so:-

Green

Caulker Rio Chief
Simpson Traore
Barton Faulin Much
Toilet
Chaz


Bench - Remy, Bobby Z, Isla, Phillips, Henry, GK

[Hoop-du-Jour]

Goodness only knows...

Kid in a sweetshop with that lot.

Harry'll know who's fit and able and play them.

[Hubble]

If Traore or Simpson could cross, that would be a half decent team.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Dunne in the CB role. Rio's hardly played yet pre-season. Not sure if Mutch would play wide left. Sure it's not been top oppo, but the 2 strikers up top with J-Ho in the hole has looked good last couple of games.

I'm sure there'll be a few twists and turns before kick off Saturday week.

[Rangers77]

Assuming no one else comes in, three at the back, and everyone fit..... My team

Green
Caulker Ferdinand Hill
Isla Barton Mutch Yun
Holliett
Remy Austin

Subs Murphy Simpson Onouha Henry Faurlin Zamora Phillips

Playing Clint because he's the only left sided CB we have ..... And because he's Clint. Holliett, I think, is made for the hole.

[Hubble]

Assuming everyone's fit, yes, that's an excellent team.

Benching Isla one of the successes of the world cup and a really good footballer?

Is Remy going to be fit enough to start in just over a week? Not sure he will so HR might just go Chaz to begin with. Long term Remy/Austin up top is possibly the best strike partnership down the Bush since Ferdinand/Gallen.

JH looks a different player, with him and AT, I don't think we should be looking for a No:10.

Im working on the assumption he hasn't had much pre season. Is he better than Danny & Armand - that's a no brainer of course he is so would expect him to make that role his longer term

Harry's been playing two up, so if Remy stays, we make use of him, and he's not fit, I assume he'll be on the bench and Bob will partner Charlie.

[Mattyqpr]

I'm actually astounded the OP has left Isla and Remy on the bench, two of our best players!

People need to realise football is different now to back in the day. Fitness levels are generally brilliant, even with a few weeks off as is this case with Remy as he was fully match fit until July for the World Cup.

Get an hour out of Remy on Saturday and we're good to go.

[Factamondo]

no swp??

Although I would love HR to go with two up top for a first premiership game I'm worried he is getting a little conservative and would look to pack the midfield and not lose the first game - I do hope I am wrong but watching some of the dullest football for years last season has clouded my judgement of Harry.

[Glevum_Hoop]

no swp??

Have you seen him in pre season? - shocking in my opinion - devoid of any quality going forward and a liability tracking back. Don't think we'll be seeing a lot of Shaun this season. Hope I am wrong though.

Im with you on that. Doubt he will go all guns ablazing first game. Charlie up top on his jack.
