First Choice 11

[Shannerz]

Missing out on Ross Barkley now looks a mistake and several on here poo pooed it when it was rumoured.

Then others poo pooed the poo poo.

We had to disband the whole forum.

Because of poo poo.

Wright

Gonna have to wait months for that setup Cally

 

[ptr]

Wright and Torp are good players but my god do their reputations go up when they aren’t they playing.

Our top scorer every year in the time he has been here has created his own reputation

OP request was pick the strongest 11 assuming all fit. Wright is our best centre forward

 

[wingy]

We've looked best with five at the back.

Not sure why so many are including Gboho. No-one's really seen him. I don't doubt there are very good reasons for that.

I have to say I couldn't believe not going with that against Spurs.

 

[Kubrick]

We spent £120m on 9 new players (not including Rushworth and Onyeka) who between them have only been involved for 2000 minutes after 10 games. Where do you start picking a first choice 11? Rule out players with long term injuries? It’s a complete farce.

 

[RJASkyblue]

I have to say I couldn't believe not going with that against Spurs.

I think we should go with 5 at the back in every away game if Bobby is fit. I don't think we can do it with Lati.

 

[robin.starling]

BTA shouldn't even be in our best 22

He’s not 12 or 46 and has performed in a top five league which puts him comfortably in the top 1% of our squad on paper.

He may be, but at this point no-one has the info to say if he should be in our best team or not. You don't play on paper.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

For me, I would be looking at a 5-2-2-1.

Rushworth
Amenda - Thomas - Pinnock
Yirenkyi - Onyeka - Torp - Dasilva
Rudoni - Ghobo
Cherif

I actually like this. Depends Ghobo brings to the table. Asante would work better on this set up (a bit like Forest away) .

 

[Grendel]

Many on here thought he’s crap anyway

 

[shmmeee]

It’s not best team it’s first choice team. And most people having seen what we’ve got and not been impressed would choose to see what the player who we haven’t seen is like.

 

[Shannerz]

It’s not best team it’s first choice team.

Potayto, potahto.

I agree, it would be good to see what he's like, but until we do, we can't say whether he should be in our first choice team or not.

 

[shmmeee]

Potayto, potahto.

Well we can cos first choice is about personal opinion and best is an attempt at objective judgement.

 

[Shannerz]

Ok then, we can't say with any degree of accuracy or credibility whether he should be first choice or not.

I don't really think there should have been need to qualify that.

Thats like, your opinion, man. If people have seen what those starting have to offer and want to play the eight figure signing with a decent pedigree that’s fair enough.

 

[Liquid Gold]

If you play Rudi you play a system with a 10. He's shite on the wing

Rushworth
MVE (just) Thomas Pinnock Mfuni
Yirnekyi Onyeka
Tchouana Rudi Gboho
Wright

Looks like we'll never find out, cos stubborn Frank refuses to play him!!!

I think “on paper” this is our strongest 11 except the mfuni call, i think dasilva has really impressed this year, mfuni wants to be a centre back so he loses out on the “on paper” argument for me

maybe amenda for pinnock also

 

[robin.starling]

Basically, after spunking 130 million pounds we still have a Championship team.

Those were both my unsure calls too.

I think Mfuni is a special talent so would love him to play even though Dasilva has done well and went for Pnnock just because Amenda is out for a long period nothing more.
