Rampage Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 10 hours ago, DesertRam said: Not sure what the best outcome would be, a hard fought win/draw or a wake up 0-4 hammering! Hopefully its a 2-0 win, which they owe us. If we lose it is about performance, fitness and giving players a chance to shine. If we draw it is because we have tenacity, stuck to the game plan and we will be ready for the start of the season. If we win it is because we have taken on a new work ethic, bought into the vision and because we have have players hungry for success. If we do not turn up it is because the bus broke down. All good fun till we play Reading for three points. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Can see Jerome starting today if he has fully recovered. Nugent played a lot recently & sounds like Marriott isnt ready to start, can see Marriott getting 30-35mins similar to FloJo. Not sure if Bryson will start with this apparent knock, probably Johnson. Heard Lampard is a big fan of Johnson so cant see him leaving this window, he is a good solid backup option to Bryson/Mount imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're right about Johnson especially, given the freedom to attack without constantly protecting the back four could be his saving grace. Positionally he's often spot on for shots, if Lampard can utilise him as the midfield runner this year he could have a good a season as anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofmidnight Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Don't usually do friendlies but am going to this one. I want to see for myself the level of fitness , motivation and style of play and also show my support before the season starts for Lampard and his team. Feeling really excited about this season and want to play a very small part of it right from the start. Who else is going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowram Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Reading seem to have their own problems. I can't recall them making signings and their centre half Liam Moore has requested a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason, along with the Edworthy words of wisdom ("certainly is") to turn the volume to mute if you're watching at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suits a big lad up front in the middle and Waghorn's built like a brick shithouse. So the question could possibly be where does it leave Marriott? If we sign Waghorn then Wilson moves over to the left, Waghorn on the right and Lawrence on the bench. ...and rotate depending on how the game is going.

Unlike our other experiments though, Waghorn has shown himself to be equally adept in both roles. Plus the wide players in our system, just like under Mac1, aren't wingers.
