First 3 names on teamsheet (1 Viewer)

ccfcricoh · Dec 5, 2023

Question came up in pub last night - this season who's your first 3 names on the team sheet (assuming all players fit if it helps)?

It came up because last season was pretty obvious for all of us but his season it seemed much harder, dont know if its a good thing because we have spread our quality around the squad more, or a bad thing because we have less of it!

Last seasons unanimous winners were:
1 - Hamer
2 - Gyokeres
3 - Fadz

This season we couldn't agree, all of the below were mentioned though:

Sheaf
Kitching
MVE
Allen
Wright
Godden
Collins
Bidwell
Eccles

Feels like a lack of match winners to me!

Allen
Kitching
Sheaf

(as it stands)

For me at the moment:

Bidwell
Sheaf
Allen

I think this thread is code for after spending £m’s we haven’t got any players you could remotely describe as ‘good’.

SIR ERNIE · Dec 5, 2023

For MR it's
Godden

At the moment for me its...
Bidwell
Kitching
Sheaf

First one is probably Sheaf, but after that you can make a case for 5 or 6 players.

Probably one of our biggest problems, we don't have anyone I would particularly describe as being in good form right now.

Eccles
Sheaf
Van Ewijk

SkyblueTexan · Dec 5, 2023

Howley
Tavares
Obikwu

Might explain why we are having such a lousy season since they haven’t played at all.

GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee · Dec 5, 2023

Sheaf is the only real player I think 'has' to start then I think there's a fairly big gap to others. My next two would probably be Kitching and MvE. Kitching has a chance to solidify his place in the team for the foreseeable and Milan is more based I'm not a huge fan of the other option(s) at right back. Both are based on the very recent past though and could be different if you asked me in a months time.

mmttww · Dec 5, 2023

Sheaf
MvE
Kitching

Major Tom · Dec 5, 2023

Sakamoto
Kitching
Sheaf or Thomas

1. Sakamoto, because he's exciting to watch and seems strangely lovable, and I have an odd urge to ruffle his hair
2. Bidwell, the original Rolls Royce of a player.

And after mulling it over, I don't have a third one. How concerning.

Frostie · Dec 5, 2023

Sheaf
Wright
Kitching

Macca1987 · Dec 5, 2023

For me, it's
Sheaf
Bidwell
Kitching

harvey098 · Dec 5, 2023

After having a think about this thread, the main positive I can take away is that for once I’m not worried about the January transfer window

shmmeee · Dec 5, 2023

Sheaf Wright MvE for me.

But that changes week by week TBH.

Think Sheaf is likely interchangeable with Eccles, don't know if it's backed up by stats or other, but I seem to recall one successful spell where he was absent?

covboy9 · Dec 5, 2023

Sheaf and kitching

the rest is up for debate

PVA · Dec 5, 2023

I think Sheaf and Eccles have to be in there almost by default, because the drop off from them to next in line (Kelly) is sharper than pretty much any other player in any other position.

Then it's a toss up between Kitching and Wright for me.

stupot07 · Dec 5, 2023

Sheaf is the only one you definitely know has to play based on ability, and therefore will be the first name on the team sheet. And we're not even seeing the best of him as it looks like he's trying to do Hamers role as well as his own at the minute.

Based solely on the current form and availability the other two for me would be Bidwell, and Wright

But it's very much

1. Sheaf

Sheaf

Wright

I guess. It's hard though outside of sheaf I agree

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Dec 5, 2023

Based on performance this season and not blind favouritism, as it stands:

Kitching, Eccles, Sakamoto

Sheaf has made most people's teams but he isn't even head and shoulders above Eccles. It's a shame none of our expensive strikers have made this list either!

Sheaf is on most people's list because he's the best central midfielder we have so is pretty much assured of a starting spot.

I think Eccles has been as good as, if not better this season.

That's ok, it is a free country. They are both good players.

Eccles has had a better season for me, and is very underappreciated by a lot of fans. On the other side I think Sheaf is continuously overrated. Whilst he is a good player, there are some that more or less copy and paste him for man of the match regardless of performance, and have this inability to recognise when he isn't playing well. You can also see whenever one of them makes a mistake, the attitudes towards each player are often different.

Wonder if he'll get marketed further down the line?

SeaSeeEffCee · Dec 5, 2023

Sheaf, Eccles and Kitching

I like Eccles but still have sheaf ahead of him

Sheaf is prone to lack of attention though which stops him being elite

skyblue_55 · Dec 5, 2023

The first post “ unanimous winners “
Hamer
Vik
Fadz

now we haven’t got a decent spine to our team , which is what a team is/should be built on
