I imagine we will go with 4-1-4-1 for the first few games, then maybe see some experimenting down the line. In which case, it may be something like this: ----------------------------Rafael------------------------------ --Yiadom---------Moore-----Morrison----Richards- -------------------------Rinomho...

1. Ejaria - perm
2. Grujic - perm
3. Ojo - loan
4. Dickie - perm
5. Ryan Sessegnon - loan
6. Pedro Mendes - perm

could line up something like:

Joao

Ojo Ejaria Sessegnon

Rinomhota Grujic Swift

McIntyre Dickie Moore

Rafael

Subs:
Walker
Morrison
Richards
Yiadom
Laurent
Meite
Mendes

Martinez

Yiadom
Moore
Miazga
Blackett

Rinomhota
Bacuna

Ejaria
Swift
Baker

Oliveira

Subs- Jaakola, Ilori, Kelly, Aluko, Barrow, Loader, Richards

Barrow is ridiculously overrated and offers nothing defensively. I'd like to see a front three of Obita Meite McCleary eventually.

here are a handful of out of work managers I would rather see in charge, that we could realistically get. All of which could do a better job. Pardew Allardyce McCarthy Bilic Carvalhal Quique Flores Óscar García Mark Warburton McCarthy is the only one of these that I would take, apart from Allardyce...

Walker

Yiadom Moore Ilori Richards

Kelly Bacuna Swift

Aluko Loader Barrow

Whos out there that is better?
Clement?
Karanka?
Parkinson?
Lambert?

Theres not much out there that we could realistically get when you think about it. So, best not to jump the gun firing Stam, and then end up with another s*** manager..

Al Habsi

Gunts McShane Moore Obita

Williams Kelly(VDB if fit) Swift

Beerens Mendes Hariott

Jaakkola

Gunts McShane Moore Obita

Williams Wieser Swift

Beerens Mendes Meite

Subs-
Al-Habsi
Cooper
Evans
Quinn
Harriott
McCleary
Kermorgant

Another winger ?!

So we have:

McCleary
Beerens
Harriott
Meite
Crnic

Seems excessive?
Maybe Meite will be played down the middle ?

Watts says Swift is likely to play on the left of the front three if he signs, which is a shame as I really wanted Fosu to nail down that spot . But Swift looks like a very decent player and highly though of, so hopefully can only be good for the club.

Would kill it at this level. But we wouldn't be able to afford his wages

Parkinson needs to be next manager . Brian hasn't got a clue.

Alejandro Faurlin got released today. He should be target number one. Right attitude , good passer, good tackler, championship experience. Perfect for when Norwood and Williams leave. Next targets need to be a goal scorer to play with Kermie, decent winger who can cross and a versatile centre back. ...

To sign St- Glenn Murray/ Bradshaw Cam - Bradley Dack Lw - Gudmundsson/ Hammill Cm (backup for Tshibola)- open to suggestions Lb (backup)- Taylor CB- Mariappa CB- Holding Out Norwood Williams Hurtado Cox HRK Cooper Id like to see 4-2-3-1 like we did when sig was here, with Dack/Tanner in the 10 role...

Get rid of Norwood next season. Go back to basics, 442 Tshibola and Quinn in the middle, Fosu and someone else on the wings.

Sir Al-Habsi

Gunter
McShane
Cooper
Obita

McCleary
Norwood
Williams
John

Cox
Kermorgant

Subs- Bond, Ferdinand, Hector, Robson-Kanu, Quinn, Rakels, Piazon

----------------------------------------Al-Habsi------------------------------------ ----Gunter---------------Cooper-------------Ferdinand-----------Taylor-- --------------------------Norwood------------Williams-------------------------- ----McCleary *--------------------Kermorgant------------------...

2-1 Reading,

Vydra x2, Bent

Rather Bradley Dack
