Tbh I'd put "Vacancy" in Butterfields position there. Both he and Bryson have been pretty poor so far this pre-season.

Couldn't really think of who else to put in there really. I was debating putting Blackman in for him if we are talking about the best 11 in general.

Our combined best 11 based on these two games so far are:

                  Carson

Baird Keogh Davies  Olsson

Bennett Butterfield  Johnson Weimann

            Nugent   Martin

I'd say that was pretty spot on. Not totally convinced by Butterfield so swap him for Huddlestone if/when he signs.

Forsyth still building up fitness so not totally fair to critique him, and Blackman first choice sub.

Observations - nobody on that pitch for us who could take a decent set piece which is always disappointing 

forsyth - nice to see him out there

wieman - looks good on the counter attack but not so on general play

Bennet - has to be given opportunity this season, impact sub or whatever, nice goal

johnson - well he hasn't improved on his passing has he, but a great strike for his goal

mainly it is all about fitness at this stage and let's see how we progress

              Martin

That's my pick over the two games. Will be interested to see who gets picked.

Would like to see Thorne or Huddlestone play next to Brad in midfield with that front four. Elsnik was tidy, but I would like to see him get a season long loan, playing a full season.

Surely Nugent should be in there.

Seriously, no Nugent?

I'd say that's pretty fair. Possibly a bit harsh on Nugent

  The midfield positions are wrong....

                   Carson

baird.   Keogh.   Davies.   Olsson

.          Johnson. Bryson

bennett.      Weimann.     Anya

.                  Martin

I liked the look of that very mobile three we just played with Martin holding it up. I also like the fact that they could change positions. Nugent is great, but he can't switch it up like Anya, Weimann and Bennett just did.

I expect he will be favourite to start up front with Martin on the opening day of the season, so not throwing any shade his way!

Yeah, I just threw it in. They seemed pretty interchangeable, which I really liked.

Reminded me a bit of when we played Commons, Bueno and Cywka behind Kuqi.

From what I've seen so far, and the signing of Huddlestone expected, this is the team I think I'd like to see:

Carson

Wisdom, Keogh, Davies, Forsyth

Thorne, Huddlestone

Bennett, Nugent, Weimann

Martin

"Observations - nobody on that pitch for us who could take a decent set piece which is always disappointing"

 

Hanson is the best 'dead ball' taker in the Club but never gets a look in.

Martin next best.

We have been poor at dead ball kicks for several seasons now. Why Hughes or someone like him never tried to

specialise and score more goals has been a failing and a missed opportunity.

 

Oh for an Idiakez or now showing my age an Alan Durban !!

See above. I'd probably start a team like this against Sunderland

                Carson 

Wisdom Keogh Davies  Forsyth

          Huddlestone  Johnson

 New signing   Nugent    Weimann

                      Martin

I'm not a fan of Olsson but he's played better than Forsyth so far in pre season.Forsyth will need time to get back to his best. His passing looks crisp but to me, he looks a bit hesitant to use his athleticism.
