The entire problem of ‘back up’ players who you wouldn’t really want in any starting XI

Lati ain’t that bad. People act like he’s rubbish. He was pretty decent last season apart from towards the end when everyone was shit

Squad is looking a bit threadbare at the moment.

In fairness, a few of the injured players are probably kept out of the squad as a precaution as opposed to being injured.

Generally, we’ve got a strong cohort of about 20 senior players. So we’re in a better place than most years. Realistically, we need to bump that up to 23-25 to deal with the rigours of the Championship campaign.

We’ll be adding at least 3 players before the window closes - CB, CM and ST as a minimum. The other needs can be addressed next window/summer.

He runs like he wears calipers , and isn't a very good centre half

Guys, it's preseason, fitness and being involved in the squad is important. Can't say I'd heard of our opponents before we booked this friendly

In league games, Thomas has almost always started ahead of Lati and preseason isn’t really proof anything would’ve changed.

Yes but Thomas is younger, taller, quicker and better on the ball.

No bedwetting but that lineup gives an indication of what we have available in the event of a run of bad injuries.

Anyone still questioning the need for more strength in depth needs their head testing

There were a few times last season where they didn't seem on synchro on the pitch, probably nowt or new coaches?

Calm down on the injuries everyone.

Why would you consider taking any of your guaranteed starters all the way to Germany for 45/60 mins if they have knocks.

Leave them at home to get any treatment and hopefully be fit for the upcoming games.

Starting Obikwu and having no quality on the bench other than defence is pretty bad
Click to expand...

You did specify starting 11.

The one thing that’s just jumped out at me is we can’t really afford to play Obikwu in the league if we’re going to loan him out, would mean we couldn’t send him elsewhere in January.

There was a period last season where he wasn't being picked, he went into MR office to have a word. Suddenly he was made captain for the game after, and featured pretty much wherever he could be used after that point, even when injured towards the end of the season.

It's the strongest team available besides the 1 centre half in question , so it's a legitimate concern

It's only preseason so it doesn't really matter, but I do disagree about Latibeaudiere. He was responsible for a lot of goals last season, and an obvious weak link. Thomas is streets ahead.

Scored 3 headers (I think) last season? From an attacking point of view, he does well in the air. More bothered about Da Silva from that point of view.

It's not bed wetting to want the manager to start his better players .. it's a forum to discuss the team .. that's what we're doing

Again, where did I say that he’s a better player than Thomas? I think Thomas should start. All I’m saying is Lati ain’t as bad as some of you are making out
