4 in, 3 out is my hunch

you think we are going to have 4 new starters against Hull?

 

[JSL]

Not all starters no.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not all starters no.

The 11 who are likely to start, except for Rushworth, are all here. Thats the most important thing.

I personally think the GK and LB will be new. Other newbies if any on the bench. I seriously hope Rushworth comes in and makes a difference

I would be very surprised if we sign a new LB

 

[Deity]

team of strangers....
Worked for Jimmy Hill in 1963 - five new forwards
Worked for Bobby Gould in 1983 - a whole new frigging team

I’m not sure they are relevant benchmarks. Any examples in this century

Haven't we just got one?

 

[ptr]

Competition for Tats is a must.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yes? i obviously mean on top of the 3 we already have. Even if we did I guarantee we will not start them against Hull.

 

[SBT]

Maybe some kind of raffle?

Think we won Rapha in one of them. No thanks.

 

[Saddlebrains]

I still think KKH is going to be the left back


Based on nothing but a hunch

Guessing you’ve heard nothing new about Toffolo? Would've loved him here

Imagine if Leicester are in for him with the money they'll offer and the training ground, we might struggle.

Surely they would have tried him there in friendlies?

Devils advocate, we've just been rotating everyone in so far. Think we'll get more of a idea of where players are planned to start on Wednesday

I have that feeling too but more because they won’t get the money they hope for MVE and he will then stay.

 

[Lamps]

Windass or Bamford tho?

Hopefully our early interest was a couple of years ago.

Not bad that. Worked twice in just over 60 years

 

[Lamps]

KKH on the left if we manage to keep MVE. We're in a much better position than last season.

 

[JSL]

The two weakest positions last season were LB and GK (without Dovin in the team) plus cover for MVE Those look to have been the first priorities this window, whether it's Brau or KKH at LB, plus talk of a keeper coming in. We can talk of an experienced CB, cover for RW and a goal scoring striker as the next batch of priorities, but conceding daft goals needs to stop

Well id be amazaed if he played KKH there until we ship out at least 1 of the current ones

Why?

So you would be amazed that we would play a player with great prospects and who had a very good season in the Championship last season because other players were here before him? That's like saying you would be amazed if we signed Rushworth and played him before Wilson or Collins unless we managed to get rid of one of them.

No im saying im amazed because i dont think Lampard will play him there

 

[Great_Expectations]

I think Lampard likes JDS as, for all his defensive faults, he’s a good footballer. And I think Lampard wants as many technical players on the pitch as possible.

So I don’t think he’ll see it as big a priority as we all do.

 

[Lamps]

He can play both sides. We currently still have MVE and haven't heard much about anyone being in for him. MVE would play on the right before KKH. That leaves the left to KKH.

It really all comes down to what they signed him for. Was it to replace MVE or to play on the left.

Got it in one. 'for all his defensive faults'

Probably the latter but if MvE doesn't move as expected I'd imagine he'll start on the left as he'd still be a significant upgrade on what is there currently.

Dasilva starts vs Hull

If we still have MVE i can't see anything else but KKH starting on the left. He hasn't been brought in to warm the bench.

Charity bet?

I'm more certain that KKH will start before DS on the left than any of the charity bets I've had on here and I've won every one I've had.

Was the last bit really necessary ? Doesn't prove anything

If someone is so certain of something happening then why not? Made £100 for our season ticket fund at the end of last season.

Of course it proves nothing. Just like arguing that JDS will start before KKH when common sense says otherwise.

Right and left back is a very specialist position. You can't just decide to play a Right back at left back just to get him in the team, especially as we have 3 left backs
