What is our strongest Line Up ?

Post by Charnwood » Fri Feb 17, 2023 3:34 pm

It would be interesting to know who each of us think would be in our strongest line up ?

For me it would be;

Walton✅

Clarke✅ Woolfen. Burgess

Burns Morsy.✅ Evans✅. Davis✅

Chaplin✅ Broadhead✅

Ladapo✅

Players with ✅’s are guaranteed starters unless injured or complete loss of form.

On form Burns is an obvious first choice for me but there are others on their day who could compete for his shirt.

Subs: Hladkey, Keogh, Edmundson, Donacien, Humphrey’s, Aluko, Jackson, Edwards, Hirst & Harness.

Central Defence highlights our problem as there are no stand out performers but I think I’ve selected the best of an average bunch.

This still leaves; Ball, Leigh, KV-Y, Camara, John-Jules, unemployed.

Summer priority; Sort out our Central Defence problem.

Certainly would agree with line up.

Have been a bit disappointed with Harness in truth, after hoping he'd be the key signing at the start of the season. Certainly having seen Broadhead on one occasion (so others may offer a different view) he kept the ball well, has an eye for a pass and seemed less of a defensive liability, therefore he gets the nod.
Burns was targeted aerially by Sheffield Wednesday and I wonder if other teams will pick up on that. He has certainly been at fault (in the build up) for a few goals conceded! However, are Edwards or Jackson consistent performers in his position? The former certainly seems to struggle as a starter, Jackson has earned a couple of rave reviews though not sure how much he offers as an all-rounder!

We desperately need some seniority in midfield alongside Morsy. The guy is trying to run the midfield in his own over recent games. No disrespect intended to a very young and inexperienced Humphries (his time will come).

And he's one yellow card off a two game ban isn't he?

Yes, so don’t know who we’d stick in midfield if ( when!!) that happens . Hopefully Luango / Ball will be back before too long .

I’d agree with this but naturally feel we have subs to come in and play too, for certain situations players like Aluko and Edward’s are great.

The lack of partnerships is hurting us and rotation also means no rhythm for players, injury’s hasn’t helped that either - ie Evans was immense first half of the season.
