Starting 11 vs Leeds

[KZNSeagull]

Barnes is a better footballer than CMS. IMO

Possibly. CMS is a better goalscorer though. I just want him to be given a decent run in the side playing with Ulloa, as I believe he will start scoring for fun.

A lot of people have Barnes in their starting 11 but surely that can't be right? We all know that he was only in the side because "he was Gus' love-child" / "Had incriminating photos of the boss", and not on his footballing merits, right? Right, that's enough sarcasm for me... I think it'll be:

-------------Kuszczak---------------
Bruno---Greer---Upson---Calderon
-----------Bridcutt------------------
----------------Crofts---------------
Buckley--------------------Orlandi
---------Ulloa-----Barnes---------

I hope that we are not forced through no other option to play Calderon at left back.

It shows how thin our squad is.

with the players we have atm (Including Agustien)

Kuszczak

Bruno - Greer - Upson - Calderon/Chicksen

Bridcutt - Agustien

Buckley - Orlandi - Barnes

Ulloa

Subs
Brezovan - El-Abd - Chicksen/Calderon - Crofts - Forster-Caskey - LuaLua - Barker/March
​

Its a tough one with LB, even though Chicksen is the actual LB but OG might go with Calderon to start things off but you never know

Orlandi and Barnes have both done well in Pre-Season so i feel they may start unless if OG wants Barnes on the bench as the "1st team" striker then i see LuaLua taking his place

the fact that even without players like CMS, Hoskins, Dunk and the possible return of David Lopez, this looks like it will be a good season for us!

i

Please note, Lopez (Spanish Dave) will not be returning.

Haven't been paying much attention for a few days; is CMS back fit?

He was sitting in the West Stand last night. I doubt he'd have been there is he was fit.

 

[public school boy]

CMS back in September. I heard last night that Hoskins is out for much longer than originally expected.

i

Please note, Lopez (Spanish Dave) will not be returning.

What makes you think that?

 

[Mellotron]

With a new left back and CMS instead of Barnes, that is a strong side.

Stronger with Barnes ahead of CMS. Comfortably the better player.

Bruno~Upson~Greer~Calderon

Crofts~Bridcutt~Orlandi

Buckley~Ulloa~Barnes​

Will Kemy be fit then? I wouldn't have thought he's had much of a preseason.

 

[B.W.]

Stronger with Barnes ahead of CMS. Comfortably the better player.

How can you be so sure?

 

[public school boy]

What makes you think that?

God told me and also some history between Lopez and Garcia. My friend and long time lover Selwyn is still very upset. He has a big picture of Spanish Dave and stand in front of it crying his eyes out.

Reading your suggested lineups and formations reminds me of how no one in Israel understood Oscar a year ago...
Oscar plays with a 4-3-3, that isn't a variation of a 4-5-1 as we/you know it.
It has one defensive midfielder, two playmakers, one number 9 stiker, and two wingers/forwards.
Perhaps you'll have 4-2-3-1 as a start, but forget about 4-4-2.
