If we are relying on Sarr & JP to score all of our goals, we are in for a frustrating season, G.T.. always said fans want to see the ball in the box, true, one way to do that is play higher up than we did against WBA and hopefully get some corners (unlike Monday evening) then we can bring other players up to get on the end of things and score!
Pedro needs to either be on the left of a front three or as the slightly more withdrawn of a proper front two. I don't think he's ever going to be an out and out goalscorer or striker.
All summer to get Edwards the squad he wants yet he might have to abandon his system after two games because of the lack of options. Thank god we've changed the culture and the head coach gets more of a say.
Let's hope Edwards really meant what he said in the post match Monday - he wasn't happy with the performance so I expect to see a different attitude tonight. Dennis the Menace could play still, but if he is still a passenger come HT then he has to be subbed.
We need either Bayo, or Davies (if he joins) to score a significant amount of goals this season. Can't say I have much faith in either to do so.
Unfortunately, Dennis will not be playing. The Athletic has reported that he will miss the game tonight because he is undergoing a medical at Nottingham Forest.
Nah Sema is good at this level. He's one of those far too good for the Champ, not quite good enough for the prem.
Yep, Cleverley is the new Deeney. Absolute crap, finished footballer who has now somehow been allowed to become untouchable despite being appalling because he's the captain.
Can't wait to see Kamara at rwb again with Gaspar ad rcb. I hope it is 4 at the back but I doubt it. Bayo back on the bench I can't see us winning sadly. Midfield still seems weak imo.
Good to see us going back to 433. Until we bring in a LCB and RWB the squad will always be unbalanced.
Right in terms of personnel. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it is still a back 3 - would be odd to change system so quickly. Might catch Burnley off guard though.
Gaspar to play RCB instead of Kabasele? Hamza in for Dennis. Strange line-up. Don't like Kamara at RWB at all, nullifies his game entirely! Cleverley in the 10? His best position (apart from the bench).
Can’t get my head around this line up/formation at all - even the little graphic they’ve used in previous weeks is gone such is the confusion Bad result/performance and I fear Edwards has made a rod for his own back here
