think them pair are too far gone now to kiss and make up

 

[Evo1883]

I have a feeling that robins is looking to play rudoni in the 8 and EMC in the 10 , can't imagine we'd sign somebody for 4 million to come off the bench.

Getting all the big boys on the pitch at once

 

[Evo1883]

Getting all the big boys on the pitch at once

Be some value in that starting 11

 

[shmmeee]

So we thinking this day one then?

Dovin
MvE Thomas Binks Bidwell
Rudoni Sheaf
Saka EMC Wright
Simms
?

Or maybe going hell for leather with a 4141?

I think Rudoni will be in for EMC to start with eccles next to Sheaf.

As of today I'd bank on that being the starting 11

 

[Evo1883]

I think Rudoni will be in for EMC to start with eccles next to Sheaf.

I'd be dissapointed if we are starting with josh again this season.. would suggest we've not really improved the midfield

 

[SleepyGinger]

Agree, possibly EMC over Sakamoto

 

[Evo1883]

Ideally we bring in 2 or 3 more outfield players

 

[SleepyGinger]

I’ll be very surprised if Rudoni is deployed in holding midfield

 

[shmmeee]

I think Rudoni will be in for EMC to start with eccles next to Sheaf.

I agree. Can’t see Rudoni or EMC playing there but how else do you fit everyone in?

 

[mmttww]

Respect.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Even if we signed another midfielder I think we would start Eccles and Sheaf.

Robins is a man of habit and doesn't like whoelsale changes.

I think having a new keeper and CAM in the side is enough to give him kittens.

I expect the rest to be slowly integrated over time like the signings last year were.

 

[Evo1883]

Not enough places Geoff, gonna be a strong bench

 

[TinPotTaylor]

Rudoni will play 10.

Wright/EMC Rudoni Saka/EMC

Simms

Rotation.

Why does everyone think Mason-Clark will play as a 10. He's a left winger amd will play left wing

Maybe robins might feel differently knowing that if we don't perform he may be gone ? I get the feeling it's a big season for the boss (not in my head but dougs ) and may need to let go a bit more

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Depends what the formation is surely ? If it's EMC and Sakamoto wide with Haji and Simms central then it makes sense . If we play one up top then yes our midfield pair needs to be more progressive

 

[Evo1883]

He's played across the entire front line tbh

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Dovin
MvE
Thomas
Binks
Bidwell
Eccles
Sheaf
Rudoni
Sakamoto
Simms
Wright

That’s my bet for the line up for Stoke.

 

[Evo1883]

Again I think having 4 million pound bench players isnt practical

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Dovin
MvE
Thomas
Binks
Bidwell
Eccles
Sheaf

Sakamoto

Wright

You've missed Doyle and Thomas-Asante

 

[Perennial Lurker]

So what would you value Eccles at ? He's surely 5 million plus?

 

[Evo1883]

So what would you value Eccles at ? He's surely 5 million plus?

Not sure tbh , but we've actively gone out and purchased EMC , Eccles is for me a player we should be looking to upgrade on to progress as a team

We have torp too

Thomas
Binks
Bidwell
Eccles
Sheaf
Rudoni
Sakamoto

I'm expecting the same but with EMC for Sakamoto. Bloke smashed his back to bits; expect we'll phase him back in.

I’m hoping we sign a Stamenic-type player to go alongside Sheaf so then Rudoni plays CAM where you’ve got EMC.

I know it’s unpopular and I know he’s a fan favourite, but I really would love us to not start Eccles say just 2-3 times over the course of 2-3 months and see how the balance of the team changes with either Torp or Rudoni in there. If it’s terrible then fair enough, never need to try it ever again, but I think just changing one player, even just once or twice, shouldn’t harm us that much and I think could improve us.

 

[Evo1883]

Yes haven't thought of that tbh

 

[Evo1883]

We will have a very strong bench then , well squad really
