So 0-0 after extra time then as both teams cancel each other out
Seriously though the balance and cover of the squad looks better on paper; now the acid test is what happens on the pitch.
And there is still the experienced Jacko, Rojo and Novak plus Lennon from FA's line ups to call upon if need be.2 -
The weak areas (Wingers) have certainly been covered now... At the start of the season we had:RedChaser said:So 0-0 after extra time then as both teams cancel each other out

RM; Botaka / Holmes
LM: Holmes / Lookman
Now we've got
RM: Botaka | Byrne | Holmes
LM: Holmes | Dasilva | Chicksen
The CDM and No.10 roles are still a player weak in each area because if we lost both Crofts and Ulvestad you've got to rely on Konsa and Jackson whilst the No.10 role only really has JFC and Aribo1 -
Squad is looking much better. Let's hope the young lads that play this weekend have the attitude to beat a decent Millwall side.
We can dream can't we? ...1 -
Of course we can but unfortunately this is the game that means far more to the fans than the players especially those here today gone tomorrow, it's just another game to them.robroy said:Squad is looking much better.

We also need leaders on the pitch because without them and only 7 wins in 49 attempts in my lifetime the odds are not stacked in our favour. Let's hope it's a lucky bullseye

Well we know Robbo can't play the same winning side as Fox and Gomez gone and Bottika away. I would think we would replace Fox with Chicksen, but have no idea who is better and fit enough to replace the three of them. Holmes will surely be one, then I'm lost.
Love to know the planning ahead of the game going on at the slum!0 -
We'll if Holmes starts he'll be getting a reducer on his foot early doors I expect.Redrobo said:Well we know Robbo can't play the same winning side as Fox and Gomez gone and Bottika away.

Rudd
Solly Bauer Pearce Page
Crofts JFC
Byrne NEW Holmes
Magennis
Bench: Phillips Konsa Tex Aribo Botaka Watt Novak
Think we need a new No 10 to compete with Aribo/ take a bit of the pressure off him. Watt on the bench over Ajose for his ability to turn ability game and Novak of we need to go route 1.
Phillips
NEW Tex Lennon Chicksen
Konsa Ulvestad
Botaka Aribo Dasilva
Hanlan
Rojo Jackson Novak Ajose KAG Umerah Watt
We don't have a dedicated RB back up but Konsa/Byrne could play there but that would weaken another position. Obviously this 2 11s doesn't happen in real life so we could get away without it for the rest of the season. In an ideal world I'd have kept Foley as the utility player.
Think JFC may play no 10 against stronger sides away from home to allow for Konsa in CM whigh will strengthen us defensively.

I can't believe, after 4 assists in 2 games, you've all consigned Aribo to the "also-rans" already...6

Apart from the Sheff Utd game (where I'm pretty sure it was a good old 4-4-2 formation), l've not seen any of the other games where KR has been in charge.
Simple question is has he actually sent out a team playing 4-2-3-1 in any of these other games?0 -
Simply because Karl has spent plenty of time saying he was after a no 10. And an experienced no 10 coming in would allow Aribo to be brought in slowly as and when he is ready and there won't be pressure on him to play every game.East_Stand_Loopy said:I can't believe, after 4 assists in 2 games, you've all consigned Aribo to the "also-rans" already...

If everyone was fit and in good form, this would be my preferred first 11, more than capable of putting together a push for the play offs.1 -
Can watt play as a number 10?0

Ted Rodgers would be poking his own eye out.1

Never seen Page or Byrne play so I will reserve judgement on whether they go into the best 11. Bauer in, please.Chef_addick said:Rudd

It's not a "best 11" as such but my preferred team, personally I thought we looked better at the back with Pearce playing and Tex is the best CB we have so for me, Bauer misses out.wmcf123 said:

As for Page and Byrne, I've not seen much of them but the general feeling is they are good additions, plus I can't see them coming to us to sit on the bench when they could of stayed at the clubs they were at sitting on their benches0 -
Amazing how Croft has risen in the estimation of most, and this has only happened since the arrival of Robbo.
There are other factors, but I did not think he was as good as he is.

My side:
Phillips (shirt is his to lose ATM. Rudd shouldn't just be able to walk into the side.)
Solly | Bauer | Tex | Chicksen
(Think I prefer Pearce, but out for the foreseeable future)
Crofts | Aribo
(Joe doesn't deserve to be dropped, and I have seen no evidence in the first team, the U23s, or the KSC that he is a no. 10)
Byrne | JFC | Holmes
(Hopeful that Holmes is fit soon. However, if you can get him fit, which I admit to being extremely doubtful, we have the best no. 10 imaginable in TW.)

Completely agree.East_Stand_Loopy said:I can't believe, after 4 assists in 2 games, you've all consigned Aribo to the "also-rans" already...
At the moment I would start him over several others in central midfield. If he's dropped it sends out the wrong message ...... he's done superbly in his two starts and therefore the position is his to lose.1 -
I said at the beginning of the season that any one of Crofts Jacko and even Foley would he much better in a midfield 3 and with some pace and youthful enegery around them.Redrobo said:Amazing how Croft has risen in the estimation of most, and this has only happened since the arrival of Robbo.

It's just that Slade insisted in playing two or 3 of them together which brought out the best in none of them.4 -
Same with Phillips- he's done no worse than Rudd, I'd continue to start him!East_Stand_Loopy said:I can't believe, after 4 assists in 2 games, you've all consigned Aribo to the "also-rans" already...

KR called Rudd the best goalkeeper in League 1, so how can he leave him out, if he is not going to play him, Norwich will call him back and then you are left with Mitov as number 2.Just_Llera said:

He is young and needs to be developed and have the occassional first team outing. Same with Konsa.East_Stand_Loopy said:I can't believe, after 4 assists in 2 games, you've all consigned Aribo to the "also-rans" already...

Robbo needs to look them in the eye and see who is up for the fight. No place for anyone who is not going to give everything they have. I expect them to crawl off the pitch.0
