I think Bergstaller will start today

Ole commented that a few from Wednesday will play today, I reckon he will be one of those.

I was impressed with his link play with Fabio in the Wolfsberg game and reckon he could do a job for us.


hard to think of any others who could force their way in..


Marshall, Fabio and Brayford are certain starters at the back, but no idea on the centre halfs. For me Turner is the best, but he's injured so 2 from Hudson and Connolly who both did well last week and add experience to a young back 4. Morrison, who surely won't start after only signing yesterday and Cala, who is a better footballer than the others, but prone to being knocked off the ball. I wasn't impressed when he played alongside Hudson either, but reckon that might be what Ole does (depending on whether he is lining up Hudson to leave).

Hopefully he'll go 4-4-2 so i'd expect Jones to start with probably le Fondre or maybe Maynard to start. Noting his comments about Wednesday it may be Maynard ?


Midfield Daehli (what a class ball for our 2nd goal in midweek) and Bergstaller would be my choice.

In the centre probably Whittingham and Adeyemi - although again given his comments i wouldn't be surprised if Ole goes for Gunnar instead of Adeyimi.

Still a bit worried that we are a bit lightweight until Digcachoi (sorry about the spelling) comes in.


I have seen a few asking for Harris to start, but although he's got talent his final ball is awful. Bergstaller hasn't got the pace, but is a much much more effective player form the bits I've seen pre-season.

Think you're right with all this.

Don't think a lot of people realise that Burgstaller is a winger primarily who can play on both flanks, who yes can also play CAM/no10...

Really impressed with Burgstaller's style of play. Bit slow, but his vision for a pass is a step ahead of everyond else. Sometimes those passes don't pay off, but I appreciate the attempt none the less.

Once the strikers get used to him, I reckon he could get a LOT of assists this season.

Solid performer who adds a bit of steel and commitment to the midfield.
Today I would go with:
Marshall
Brayford
Hudson
Connolly
Fabio
Daehli
Burgstaller
Whitts
Adeyimi (sorry but I just don't see what Gunnar has done to deserve a start)
Le Fondre
Jones

Bench:
Moore
John
Harris
Cala
Macheda
Maynard
Gunnar

Totally agree with that line up. Except Macheda is injured I think so I'd have a second CM on the bench in Eikrem. Ralls is close to pushing Gunnar as well but Gunnar has the experience and versatility for now...

Decent player but very slow. If whitts and Gunnar is playing cm I wouldnt want us to play him as they are slow too. If adeyemi is playing it might work.

Ralls probably impressed me more against Coventry.
