New Season

[The General]

Think we have the makings of a good team now
Would really like to see Sylla and Smith up front with Smyth and Wsolik on wings to start the season off .
Top 10 forward line I feel.
Defence really needs 2 quality centre backs buy these and who knows where we could be.
Dont buy these and back where we were I'm afraid .

[wormholt]

think we had a good team amongst that squad last season, the difference being this season will be McLaren.

[QPRDave]

I do think we need another striker, but agree with the rest.........exciting!!!

[jamesnutt]

Smithies
furlong hall new cb bidwell
smyth/wszolek luongo/cousins scowen/Manning freeman/bright
Eze/chair
Smith/sylla
is decent . Saucy. COME ON ENGLAND. JN

So with 2 strikers who would you sacrifice in midfield? Plus nobody playing off the striker. Cannot really see Smith and Sylla starting together. Eze plays better with Big Matt whilst Wheeler would
compensate for Sylla in the air.

[corbray]

i'd like a 4231 as that seems to suit our players the most.
luongo/manning/scowen in front of defence and a combination of freeman, eze, bright, smyth or chair behind the striker. can see us bringing in chris martin who'd do a great job for us imo, more mobile than smith and gets around more than sylla

[The General]

Would play Llongo and Eze behind to make the midfield solid
in the centre ...wingers to supply .....Smith and Sylla up front

[The General]

Furlong. Hall. New CB. Bidwell
Wysolek. Lloungo. Eze. Smyth
Smith. Sylla

[Norths]

Eze as a CM?

[The General]

Yes because I want to play Sylla and smith up top
would like him as an attacking midfielder similar to lampard with Luongo hanging back whilst he charges forward

[The General]

He can also thread a ball like Adel used too to the strikers

[The General]

Smith...Llongo...Eze...Wsolek all creating for the big two monsters up front.

[loftbalcony]

Alot of managers in this thread !

[The General]

Honestly think if we sign 2 good angry central defenders we have a great team .

But Will They Sign Them

Need a Richard Dunn

[davman]

Eze behind a front one, or at a stretch one of two up front, but never, ever as part of a central 2. We would be far, far too open and he needs to improve on his defensive side of things before we can consider him as one of two in centre mid.

This is the problem Ollie struggled with all season and to be fair to him, it's hard to find a formation with 4 at the back and 2 up top that will work with all the midfielders we have. He wanted three at the back to enable him to play Luongo, Freeman and Scowen in the middle of the park and two up top. Not easy, is it?
