Not convinced Davies is match fit, or indeed that we could have him and Jags together. Ebosele for pure pace and Forsyth for defensive cover for Buchanan so they can take it in turns to attack. Morrison given no role other than to attack. Solid but dangerous on the break. Jozwiak and Lawrence flatter to deceive too often. No crosses, no goals. Sorry … total gash. Whatever you think of Lawrence he can break a line and create something. Oh ! And he does score goals. He doesn’t do it often enough but it’s there. Joz beats his man and works like a Trojan … leaving those two out is just defeatist self flagellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Rooney won't pick this side in a million years as it has Sibley in the starting lineup. For one game, presuming we haven't made signings but hope to, we simply cannot take up the space for a potential signing by giving a debut to someone from the academy. You've got to think of the whole season rather than one match. Max Bird is a level headed intelligent footballer who can play centre half if he has to, though Rooney should have given him some practice. I don't understand people putting 5 foot nothing Byrne in the centre half role. Roos Byrne Bird Forsyth Buchanan Shinnie Watson Sibley Jozwiak Kazim-Richards Lawrence Subs: Marshall Ebosele McDonald Stretton Hutchinson By my reckoning that's all the players of senior standing we have at the club apart from the injured Knight and Bielik, though I feel I might be missing someone.

Footiemum was harshly pilloried for venturing into this dangerous area. If you look at Bird, Buchanan, Knight, Watson and Sibley, Sibley is not imho the strongest and he may be towards the bottom of the list. Not because of temperament as is often said but for other reasons including that he lacks the pace to make use of his considerable god given talents. I think and hope we’ll see significant development this season in Watson and Bird. And Sibley of course. To take a very different tack, I wonder whether Mel has a bit of a crush on Sibley and whether Rooney is asserting himself by limiting his playing time.

I really like the look of that side. I might be tempted to start Bird in one of the AM places .. his confidence will be high after the goal and I think he is better higher up the pitch, rather than as a deputy DM that was tried last year. ?

He's come off the bench once for the first team hasn't he? Which IIRC makes him "of professional standing". At this stage I'd still take Max Bird at centre half but nice to also have Brown on the bench if he's fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and let's be honest, he's just warming the seat for Bielik when he returns from injury. Bird lacks something to be that holding/defensive midfielder. He's played better when he's given a bit of freedom to play further forwards. He's got an eye for a pass but when he's played deep, he just ends up passing sideways and backwards.

Yes he's the 19th one of supposed professional standing. You named 16 + there's Bielik & Knight of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try hard to sign Jagielka and move Bird to right-side midfield, but my expectation is we won't sign anyone before the first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that. Our talents driving the midfield and out strongest wingers up with our holding number 9. A good manager will make full use of Sibley and Watson running off ckr ala brys and Hendrick back in the day. I doubt Rooney's that manager sadly but I'd be delighted for him to prove me wrong. (I can't see it tho,I don't know what's going on with him and sibbers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
