It's a tough one as you'd have to choose one of Bird, Hourihane, Knight, Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen, McGoldrick and Collins to start on the bench.

So who are you dropping out of McGoldrick, Hourihane and Bird to enable him to play centrally. He's more suited to RW than RB like he was in the first half.

He's more suited to RW than RB like he was in the first half. Given how isolated Collins got at times today, I think there will definitely be games where playing McGoldrick up front on his own (dropping off to link the play, Chris Martin-style) and a midfield 3 of Bird sitting, plus Hourihane and Knight (running beyond McGoldrick) is the right call. Obviously picking which games are those games is the challenge etc. Although I suspect it will be a moot point and Knight will be sold to a top end championship/lower prem team.

Ok, probably Knight or Barkhuizen at the moment. Mcgoldrick has to play though DCFC Kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be best at the central, but at the same time he is better than the rest on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect he was on quite a decent whack- he’s signed at least three contracts since he joined the club, two of which were under the mental Mel years when we were paying outrageous wages Perhaps it’s hard to get him to come down to an affordable wage under the restrictions.

At home i would play Cashin and Knight in midfield more rotate Davies,Chester and Stearman keep them fresh we lack a pacey impact player hopefully a premier league loan Need a byrne type right back new lad will be fine at home but away games might be a weak link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I would be surprised if we started with Mcgoldrick, Collins and Hourihane. Seems to leave us very weak defensively, would expect to see Knight or Sibley at 10 or Bird and Thompson in midfield with Mcgoldrick at 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think those three have been recruited to make up numbers, I expect them all to start, certainly in the home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
