Best combined play off team (5 Viewers)

DannyThomas_1981 · Thursday at 9:27 PM

Assuming we make play offs this time and comparing with the play off final team, I'd go for:

Dovin

MVE
Thomas
Doyle
Bidwell

Hamer
Grimes
Rudoni

Saka
Vik
Wright

So just 4 players from the play off final albeit 2 of our all time superstars. Really wanted Fadz in there as cap but doesn't work in a 4.

For me Mcnally gets in over Thomas personally.

I'd have EMClarke over Wright (if going 433) and a very close call but Mcnally over Thomas (as sparks said).

Unbelievable team but weirdly think it would probably still get relegated from the PL.

Always felt like with Vik we’d have stood a good chance of staying up.

8 new starters needed elsewhere but there’s the 15 goal man, and the guy who’s going to give every PL defence a hard game.

Love the current team but there’s no guarantees any of them make the grade a level up.

Bidwell isn’t even our first choice

All day long. Thomas can't pass and we're making do with him until the summer

Don't remember McNally having a great passing range ? Thought he was poor with the ball at his feet

You may have a point there but let's be honest Thomas's distribution is woeful

rob9872 · Friday at 10:07 AM

Big Doyle fan, but not sure in a 2. I actually think I'd try him at LB as he's an upgrade on JB or JDS there. I dont normally like players out of position, but I'd also put Ohare in an unfamiliar RW role as again I like Tats, but I think we need to find a role for Ohare.
Hardest for me to select is Haji or EMC. Vik has to start, so very difficult to leave either out, tough call. Would probably go ...

GK: Dovin
RB: MVE
CB: Thomas
CB: Kitching
LB: Doyle
M: Hamer
M: Sheaf
M: Rudoni
LW: Haji / EMC
RW: O'Hare
ST: Vik

Bench:
Wilson
McNally
Grimes
Torp
Tats
Haji / EMC
Simms

It really isn't, its just popular to say so on these boards.

Okay Bobby Thomas is the new Bobby Moore. I must be imagining his inability and adopted a populist point of view.

Grimes is picking the ball up off the cbs now, so less of an issue, and if he carries on scoring from corners, it's a 'keep' from me.

O'Hare was out for the season in our playoff season

You're right, although I thought we were just selecting the best players from the two seasons not the best available. If I can't have him then Tats comes in.

This argument has been nullified countless times. Tell him @Evo1883 before I start crying.

So he's either Bobby Moore or Non-League and there are no levels in between. I dont think anyone suggested he was Bobby Moore, but his short passing is fine. He gets it wrong sometimes when he tries to be progressive, but I dont mind that because he's decent in both boxes and still young enough to improve other aspects. One of our players of the season imo.

Ccfcisparks · Friday at 10:27 AM

Outside of the 0-4 drubbing off Stoke, Mcnally conceded 11 goals in 16 games with us here. Thomas and Kitching, despite looking better are conceding nearly 2 goals most games.

People really have their sky blue tinted specs on around this.

His passing stats are actually quite good. 90.6% & 89.5% completion rates for short and medium range. 82.1% over all pass ranges.

You are not really comparing apples with apples though, McNally played in a back 3 with a team set up to defend and hit teams on the break. Thomas and Kitching have played mostly in a back 4 in a team, especially under Lampard, that leaves itself far more open.

McNally as good as he was in his loan spell was utterly embarrassed in that first half vs Luton at Wembley.
