Can't decide on a front 4 at all.
Thinking Id like to get as close to two tricky wingers, with a little large combo up front, so probably:
Thomas Doyle Ogogo Allassani
JCH Ponticelli/Hiwula
That's as close to round pegs round holes as I can do.

Until Jones comes back I can't see who else could play there though. Unless we throw Allassani into the mix but I'm not sure whether it would be too soon...
It's a myth, unless your front players aren't holding the ball up a bit, otherwise it will keep coming back at you - then you do need that protection. Agree that the alternative e.g. Bayliss being there and dragging the team forward is the only other way to create attacks if it isn't sticking with the forwards. Look after the ball !
Kelly seems to be the missing ingredient, was vital in our boost of form at the back end of last season, wtf is wrong with him ?
Struggling with his Achilles I believe, likely linked to that long standing heel issue that kept him out for a while last year.
There is still a loan market open, I suggest we seriously consider it.
No but you do need players that can hold the ball up and not squander possession easily. You also still need more than one player who can put his foot in and win the ball when you are out of possession. Otherwise your midfield may as well be four static dustbins.
If there isn't a reaction something is clearly wrong.
They should all have their arses kicked and we should see a completely different level of performance today.
Nice side, bit weaker than last season. Robins has lots of questions to answer. shame he never gets asked them!
Happy (at the moment!) with the selection. One worry is their centre forward is 6' 5" Tom Eaves (we were linked with him a year or two back). I would have liked Tom Davies up against him.
Sticking with 4-2-3-1 means Robins thinks JCH is a good target player. He must've changed his game a lot since I last saw him play................... If not he'll be isolated.
Will be able to tell pretty soon after kickoff if we just start hoofing it.
Think there may be a couple of loans in to cover Biamou + ?. Interesting listening to a phone in last night when someone was saying all the 'out of contract' players are left waiting at the moment, as clubs seek loan players, but when the window ends (on 31st), then their value soars (in terms of wages) as clubs are only left with them as an option when injuries affect their squad.
Hoping with my Sky Blue tinted specs that we are positive today and put in a good performance, but 30 odd minutes from kick off I have a stomach of trepidatious mush.
As in playing or just sat at home?
Saw something the other day about him signing a new deal with Nike.
Here's his profile: Dujon Sterling (@dujonsterling1) • Instagram photos and videos
Check his story, he's sat in a changing room in a Chelsea tracksuit.
ah I dont have a profile, is it from today? Maybe he's gone back to play for them?
So the players Robins was supposed to have fallen out with are in and the player supposedly contractually required to play is out.
Yeah from 40 minutes ago.
I hope not it's not like that deal we had with Arsenal for Akpom who seemed to disappear every few weeks!
