Team for saturday?

Wed Oct 26, 2022 3:05 pm

Who would your line up be?

It looks like Romeo is back which is a big boost.

I would go with:

Allsop

Romeo
Ng (if fit) Simpson if not
Kipre
Niels

Odawda
Rhino
Ralls
Wintle
Philogene

Etete

Wouldn't mind seeing Tanner on the bench as an option as well as Crole. Not that i think they will be.

Agree with that BTID, subs too; even if it’s for Last 10-15 minutes

We want to attack and go for goals Saturday and give Etete the best possible support. Personally I would start Ojo with that in mind.

I think Sang deserves a start

Pretty much agree with that line up. I'd give Watters a run instead of Etete though

Yes I agree but not instead of Romeo if fit.
Tbh I’m thinking that Niels is more and more of a liability at LB and I’d consider NG there even if he’s not comfortable there. Teams are targeting our LHS of defence and it’s forcing our midfield back.

You’re right, if Romeo is fit then I’d put him in definitely :ayatollah:

I think watters had a good opportunity before Robinson came. It would be good to see etete have a run of games like watters did.

Agree with the OP.

The big choice is up front and it will be interesting to see what Etete is like from the start. Had chances as a substitute but completely different starting a game.

Why !!??

He’s had 20+ games and failed dismally. Etete has not started a game yet but you don’t want to give him a chance in front of somebody we already know isn’t good enough !!

That’s some weird reasoning there !!

I can't believe i am saying this because i normally think its a crap system for the championship but i would go with a back three with Neils and Romeo as wingbacks. Our wing play is abysmal and blunt. O'Dowda is clever enough to play off Etete with Wintle Ralls and Rino in the middle. Neils is a runner let him run, he is not a flat back four full back.

We know Watters isn't good enough and Harris is not a starter as a striker so we need to find out about Etete.

Totally agree with all of that. Just hoping Romeo is fit.

That’s a cracking post and one that I agree with totally :clap:
