OhYesNdidi Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 2 minutes ago, Clever Fox said: I don't think so, He was excellent last week apart from 1 mistake and done very well on loan with Peterborough, where he played mostly in midfield. If we wanted to sell him he'd be gone by now. Sometimes you have to take a chance with young players as we done with Soyuncu last summer. The quality he was up against was utterly dreadful though...

Spudulike Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Haven't noticed much transfer activity by WBA. Pretty much their Championship starters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Fox Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 I'll be surprised if we play a back 3. Think it will be: Kasper Castagne Wilf Cags JJ Mendy YT DP Gray Vardy Barnes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Rogers today has said he expects Benkovic to go out on loan and we don't even know if we are after a new centre back (yes there are loads of rumours but nothing from the club) this time last season no one was really expecting Soyunchu to be basically the first name on the team sheet by the end of the season. They must see something in Knight he has been at the club over half his life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or Less... they've signed three of their loan signings on perms, wingers on either side in Perreira and Diangana. Got Callum Robinson in yesterday as a striker... again, a loan signing from last season. Kipre (former LCFC) in from Wigan as their only spend that they didn't already have. They've also lost Ferguson and Krovinovic who were key to them last term Edited 11 September 2020 by AjcW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also start Gray, if he cannot be ready and up for it against West Brom then he's struggling again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Interesting that people are suggesting Thomas should start but Knight isn't up to it. My thinking is the opposite for now. Long term, Thomas could be a top player. Right now Knight's competitive experience means he has to be a contender. I would rather see him at cb than Morgan currently. N'didi may be a better centre back than Knight, but I would rather he be in midfield. There is little between Knight and Justin at cb; I think Justin, along with Castagne is needed at rb or left back. Our back 5 could be Justin, Castagne, Soyuncu, Knight and N'didi. If we play four at the back, N'didi can play dm, if we play with a back, N'didi can advance. Thomas on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 (edited) We need to be beating these. Can’t see where their threat is, apart from endeavour. We need to out-work them, and we’ll win. Edited 11 September 2020 by FoxinNotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 They've spent a fair bit of money just to have the same team they had last season. Our best bet is to be positive, our defence is makeshift so let's not put too much pressure on them. Play with confidence and we will win. Probably take a point just to get going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 What so Benkovic is injured again? Is he ever not? I give up, although clearly BR already gave up on him a while ago. Is Knight ready to play in the PL? If he doesn’t who else is there? Amartey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benkovic for whatever reason does just not seem to be in favour with BR at present. Edited 11 September 2020 by Silva Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amartey, Darnell Johnson (Already been on the bench for Prem match) and Ndidi may play in that position. tbf, we should be alright with this, only for the WBA match though.

I honestly don't get why some fans are so negative. Sounds like you actually want us to lose and you get some sort of enjoyment out of it. Not really if Morgan is starting on first day of the season and even playing match 2 or 3 that is a massive **** up in squad management for a club that has top 6 ambitions. Morgan would not start for any other premier league team age has caught up with him. He is our best ever captain but doesn't mean that we should be glad that he's starting games for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
