Agree with this team.
Only change would be Biamou for me instead of Hiwula.
Feel a bit sorry for JP and JCH. What have they done wrong not to be given a chance, seems they have dropped right down the pecking order.
Hope they don't go out on loan just yet as I feel in a couple of weeks they will both be given a chance to stake a claim.

His football will really speak for itself this season.

It’s that clear it’s like the ref can’t believe it.

He's shown nothing in his two games so far to suggest he would be suited by such a role. He gets forward a lot less than Grimmer, and seems a bit more defensive minded. When he joined, and on hearing the reports about him I expected him to be a pacy wing back type, but while obviously not slow he doesn't appear as pacy as I'd imagined. Hopefully it's only a confidence thing though & we will see the player we expected/ hoped for sooner rather than later. Within the England U19 circles he's obviously rated higher than Bayliss, although Bayliss looks far ahead of him in terms of league performances, so we have to trust there is a very good player there somwhere.

They were all in the refs face about it at the end of the match.

Haven’t seen 451/4231 work with strikers or CMs wide, needs wingers/forwards IMO. Hiwula and Bayliss not right for the role. We'd be better in a 442 even if it means Andreu on the left. Maybe a 4132 or a 4312
We haven't bought in the personnel for the system Robins wants to play and that worries me. Good signings individually but hard to see a clear team there.
Also worth considering this is the first window with the new recruitment team isn't it?

To be fair Trotter should have been sent off for that moustache so these things even themselves out.

I think two up front is a must, especially given the number of forwards we have and our lack of goals and cutting edge atm. If there's one thing I disliked about Robins first spell here it was two defensive midfielders at home and one up front.

I think it illustrates just what a massive gap there is between youth football and men's football. There have always been big name youngsters-even England U19 stars-that fail to step up and make a living from the game even, like Lee Sawyer. Many others become jobbing lower league pro's (Jordan Clarke was an England U19 and U20 international...). Pennant cost £2m as a 15 year old, and I remember Spurs spending loads on a kid who never played a game. But we live in the age of youtube, so there's a lot of hype and expectation on youngsters shoulders now. Hopefully Sterling will grow as he gains experience with us, but he needs to be eased in gently. I would say that if you think about Strachan's words on the value of first team football as opposed to youth or U23 games, Bayliss is actually miles ahead of him at this stage.

Why Burge? What has Liam O’Brian done wrong to warrant Burge coming back in?
