Wright looked crap on the right last season. Can’t see him playing there. Maybe EMC will, but seems odd as he has consistently played on the left for P’boro and in preseason.

It’s sakamoto’s spot to lose imo

We’ll see.

EMC played RW and LW an equal amount before he went to P’boro. MR will have a plan how to get everyone involved. My personal opinion is that Sakamoto will make a great impact sub. A player with his trickery, pace and energy levels will be nightmarish for tiring defences.

What makes you think torp isn't good @Saddlebrains ?

A decent striker is a must. Right now we only have 4 proven players across the front 3 (Simms Saka Wright EMC). We need another otherwise 2 injuries means we’re starting one of Obikwu, Tavares or Rapha which isn’t great.

That was class. The attacking football is excellent, as it was against Stevenage. Sakamoto and Ephron are going to cause chaos.

This is all without arguably our two best players from last season, Sheaf and Haji.

As everyone is saying, we need a few more but we have 11/12 top level Championship players in the squad.

Eccles is an enigma for me

Looks quality alongside Sheaf

I honestly think Torp could end up being top quality player. I just don’t know if Robins would start with a three off sheaf, Rudoni and Torp as it might leave us a bit light defensively and he’s naturally cautious. got some good options though

You're having a laugh aren't you? Sakamoto is class, and his and Milans partnership is ridiculously good.
Click to expand...
No. If EMC takes his L1 form into the Championship, he’s starting ahead of Sakamoto. Wright and Simms scored 19 goals apiece last season, they’re both nailed on starters.

I agree that Sakamoto is class, the other players mentioned are also class, classier.

You'll be alright.

Leicester are an absolute mess so that is at least one relegation place taken, and I'm not convinced by Ipswich either

Lesta if anything look to have a weaker squad than they did in this division. McKenna is one hell of a manager but would expect it to be a step too far for Ipswich.

Southampton, Everton or Forest for the third spot.

Honest question do we feel Robins is going to pick teams based on last year's form or will it be a clean slate ?

I couldn't give a flying fuck what a player cost or how many they scored last season , if someone is playing better then they start for me

You're talking shit now

Our record signing and top scorer of last season will not be left on the bench as a No2 striker when fit

He's also shown he's shite playing the lone striker role. It's clear to everyone.

We will get a Godden replacement in 10000%

I don't think it's that absurd to think EMC could claim the LW spot.

I mean I agree within reason.

Wright hasn't played at all really this preseason so doesn't really have form going into the season, but it would be unfair to bench him based on that.

Top scorer last season and has looked better as the season went on. EMC has looked quality so far so it'll be interesting to see.

So we've just spent £4m for a bench player?

They'll both get lots of game time obviously and both get starts at LW.

My hunch is that EMC will eventually claim that shirt. I might be wrong. It's a good position to be in.

Just don't think it's 'talking shit' to say that a £4m player might earn a spot in the first XI.

So shit having too many good players to fit into a starting XI. It was much easier when we had Ellery Cairo to come off the bench on 60 minutes.

Obviously last seasons form will play a part since they’ve only been in training a month and played a few friendlies.

Couldn’t be arsed for this one as it was just a friendly but wish I’d gone now

Genuinely interested, obviously we scored 3 but were Everton just rusty/shit or did we play them off the park? Not suggesting anything either way I just didn’t see the game.

Well,well,well .. what a game of football that was . I was blown away by how good we actually are. Everyone on the pitch take a bow , you just ripped Everton a new arsehole and taken the piss big time .
now I don’t want to get carried away but if we play like that week in week out it’s going to take something special to beat us . #thefuturesbrightthefuturesSkyblue xx
