What's our strongest team as things stand?

[Brian Wilson]

If we sign nobody else before Leeds and sticking with JFH formation.

Smithies

Perch Caulker Hall Bidwell

Cousins Henry

Luongo Chery El Khayati

Polter

Put Luongo on the right cos I cant think of anyone else but would rather have him in Henry position. Petrasso doesn't look great and wouldn't trust JET in that position. Shopido could be an option instead of El Khayati. CB pairing is difficult, could easily have Ned & Lynch either.

Cousins Henry
El Khayati Luongo Chery

Woefully short going forward.

I think we need to play JET as he is the only real one who can create that moment of magic currently.

If people are moaning about lack of creativity in our midfield then keep picking Henry in our best 11 and defending him all the time, then the world has really gone mad.

Henry is a defensive midfielder than shields the back 4, you don't pick him for creativity do you, so don't quite understand your comment really other than trying to shoehorn a comment into a criticism of Henry when there isn't one here?

You expect your attacking 3 midfielders to bring that creativity, that's their job, just as a defender's job is to defend.

Would get torn apart playing that way.

Would get torn apart playing that way.

In your opinion.

This would be what I'd play. Reluctantly. S hit up front. And very defensively weak in the middle. But what else? One up front really doesn't work with either the BFG or Washington. And knowing Nasser's never played on the right..... And Chery, when played on the left, has looked really poor there. Defence looks solid enough. But, until the 80th minute or so, was last season. Sigh.....

I would like to see this team.

[Rangers77]

Probably would. But, given the options, one up front isn't going to work. Drossball. Maybe, as Someone said, Jet up front as the one, Washington and Nasser wide and Chery in the middle. Cousins and Sandro (assuming he's fit.......) in the middle.

Feeling gloomy. Need better options upfront in 4231. We haven't them. Jet? F acking hell.

Yeah, could swap El and Chery over to be fair, so that they can cut in.
