Ambitious

Recommended Posts

As it currently stands, who is your favoured XI? With a lot of options, it's a good debate. 

 

Mine stands at: 

 

Grant

 

Wisdom
Keogh
Buxton
Forsyth 

 

Thorne - purely on his form at Watford

Hughes
Bryson

 

Bamford
Dawkins

Martin

 

The tough one is the three upfront - Bamford, Dawkins, Ward and Russell are all very good Championship players. Martin is indisputable.

Grant

 

Wisdom / Keogh / Buxton / Forsyth

 

Thorne (bit of an unknown quantity, but I think Eustace definitely needs a rest)

 

Hughes / Bryson

 

Russell / Martin / Dawkins

 

Painful to leave Bamford out, but I think Russell offers more down the flank in terms of work rate and build-up play. I think Bamford would do better down the middle, where he has to fight it out with Martin.

 

Dawkins and Ward can both be erratic in their performances, so they'd probably get 45 mins each.

No options at the back though where we are extremely weak. I think Mac may regret not giving Keane a decent run, he will prove to be a better defender than any we have, even playing him in one of the full-back positions, or even shifting Keogh to right-back, how that has turned out he surely may wish he acted in a different way.

 

A stronger back four and Eustace wouldn't be needed and Hendrick could come in, a firing Hendrick would make us a better team. Ward should always play, Dawkins has done well for us, so those two wide. Bamford I can understand fans wanting in , Russell not so, lacks that surge of pace to get away from most defenders at this level.

How can Thorne be in everyone's team before we have actually seen him play for us? Keane had more pedigree yet many didn't rate him

 

Just by his stats at Watford for me - they point him towards being one of the best in his position in the league, falling only behind Drinkwater and Barton.

 

But we shall see.

With Hughes needing a rest for a few weeks I wouldn't mind seeing:

Grant

Wisdom

Keogh

Buxton

Forsyth

Thorne

Russell

Bryson

Ward

Martin

Bamford

In a 4-1-3-2 formation. Could be interesting and allows Hughes to get a rest and for the mean time Bryson and Hendrick could interchange as well as Dawkins with Russell and Ward with Sammon as competition for up front

Have to agree. Especially as I was one who thought Keane was pants

Grant

Wisdom

Keogh

Buxton

Forsyth

Eustace

Hughes

Bryson

And the bit where the only real differences are

Russell

Martin

Dawkins
