We can say this season now?

Agree with your line up but expext still 1 upfront so Allen in and walker out for now

Be great if robins gets 2 to work bit he hasn't so far . He needs to study Antonio dont as formation to see how 2 Man partnership can work with 3 midfielders behind

I don't think there will be such a thing as a first choice XI. Robins has already said that the schedule is heavy and that it will need a deep squad to get through.

I think there’ll be a first choice back 8 with the three furthest forward changing depending on circumstance.

Probably something like:

Maroši
Rose McFadz Østigård
Dabo NewDM Harmer Giles

then three from O’Hare, Allen, Shipley, Jones, Hilßner, Jobello, Bapaga, Godden, Walker and Baka depending on what the game needs.

I’d think Kelly would at least start the season as one of the CDMs and gradually the three would be rotated a bit.

I'd be very surprised if Hyam wasn't first choice if fit. He's better than Rose as a defender IMO.

I genuinely don't get the obsession with 2 up front, we won the league last season playing 1 up and with the options we have for the two cam roles we will be playing it again this season as godden and walker have both had success playing as the 1

I wonder how much going two up top would change the dynamics of the team as well. Those two CAM last season had to put in a shift and defend from the front which was partly why the formation worked.

Exactly... I'd love to see O'Hares heat map from the Portsmouth game last weekend as he was everywhere

I think the first few games we will see walker used as an impact sub with his pace against tired defences and go from there

Im suprised no one has mentioned Jodi Jones, surely once he has proven his fitness, he has to come into consideration. I'd see him ahead of Allen and Hilsner personally.
The first game of the season will be too soon, but I can see him being thrown into the team pretty soon, we need his creativity and goals.

Godden
Jones O’Hare

Although I think he will play it safe with Shipley or Allen ahead of Jones

Realistically, we don’t know how JJ will cope with the step up.

I’d like to see him start v MK Dons.

Ahead of hilsner definitely but not Allen, it was no coincidence that our form picked up when he came into the team last season and I think he is so underrated by a lot on here

His touch was off in the first few pre season games but I’m sure it’s just being rusty and I agree about last season

If everyone fit:

Marosi
Hyam Osti Rose
Dabo Kelly Hamer Giles
Allen O'Hare
Godden​

Personally I'd have Mason ahead of Giles as it stands, Godden/Walker will be an interesting battle (and may play together at times), Shipley will be pushing Allen and I reckon Jones will be pushing O'Hare.

If everyone is fit the only major concern there is cover at DCM.

Love JJ and can't wait to see him on the pitch doing what he does. But agree with mr_monkey that Allen is a key player; his interplay with O'Hare is brilliant and he's also the type of player that Hamer will I'm sure be developing a key understanding with this season.

Maroši
Rose Hyam Østigård
Dabo Sheaf Hamer Giles
O’Hare
Walker Godden

S: Wilson, Pask, Shipley, Kelly, Jones, Hilßner, Baka

With Walker playing a little deeper than Godden.

I think. Some really tough decisions there though. Don’t envy Robins this year.

Would have Allen at least on the bench... PUSB

Good point. I just don’t want to leave Kelly, or Shipley out. Allen for Shipley maybe. Or maybe Kelly.

Can we have ten subs this season?



Was thinking more of taking out Hillsner for him tbh but other than that great looking team.. PUSB
