The Bard Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Personally I'd rest Martin, Weimann, Scott, James and Williams. I'd then want to see how Klose, Tanner and Pring do. Would be very concerned if key players like them aren't given a start for this. I'd keep Wilson back to start v Wigan. It's then a matter of who needs another game. This is potentially the first of 4 consecutive midweek games and selection has to account for that. I'd go mostly 2nd string with some first teamers remaining. If they win they get another go in the next round. MOL Vyner Klose Towler Tanner King Massengo Pring Sykes Conway Wells I'd load the bench in case it's tight and we have a chance to nick it. Not an amazing team but this is the 1st round of the Carabao cup with a number of games in quick succession coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Cup draw after the game tonight too. Many Championship sides have fallen so you're looking at a League 2/League 1 dunker (on paper at least...) or a Prem team. Ideal scenario is a win tonight then a shit L2 team from the hat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Leary Tanner Klose Towler Pring Wilson King Massengo Sykes Conway Wells I get why you might suggest that, but why spend all pre-season settling into a system that he feels suits the players he has and has recruited to, to then dispense with it after 2 matches. That is what LJ did, flip flopped game to bane, mid-game, etc. I hope Nige works on fine tuning the back-three based formation, because it isn’t far off clicking. There’s been evidence in the first two games that it can. I don’t think a back four, a back two, a back eight or whatever solves the issues we’ve seen….it’s down to players defending better as a team and as individuals. Ultimately I couldn’t give a toss about formations, it isn’t that that defines success. FWIW, I’d have rather he’d stuck to a back four system last October, but he didn’t and he’s now happy with the system he’s deploying. I’d rather he stuck with it, or where do new signings like Kane Wilson fit in? I guess we will learn more later on this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last season when we were getting decent results we still looked vulnerable in that system defensively. Without a ball winning midfielder it’s usless. Wilson will make a better winger than wing back. Early days but in the two league games so far and pre season I think he’s suspect defensively. Hence why Sunderland played on him. NP was happy to switch formations depending on the opposition last season, so I’d be amazed if they haven’t tried different formations in training and pre season.

Numero Uno Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 He’s right to play the back three again (you can argue Klose for Vyner) because they need to try and get themselves into form. My tweak would be Naismith….if he’s considered the best crosser of the ball in the club then surely he needs to swap with Atkinson firstly because you need the better defender down the middle anyway and also when we do carry it out in wide areas we can deliver some quality? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
