Or will it be the usual 'we've absolutely no idea what formation were playing' formation? I know they haven't been here long but I'd like to see pace and height upfront so I'd go for Kiwomya and Phenix/the stoke lad? Something tells me it'll be hemmings on the wing again mind...
Turnbull Holgate Ramage Nyatanga Smith Lalkovic Berry Pearson Hourihane Jennings Waring Kiwomya to replace a winger if needed.
Be surprised if Lalcovitch starts today and think Jennings will start. Pearson I think will start and Williams will feature. Wouldn't be surprised to see Phenix in the squad
Like start of season again , plenty of options now . Hopefully a good win and a good performance today
Would like 442, we need to start creating chances, pin the opposition back rather than worrying about they are going to do
If Wilson has signed all these new lads and still plays that formation then he might as well just wear a red nose to work
Why? It's a fluid system with round pegs in round holes, kind of (Holgate's a centre half). Back four, with Pearson holding in midfield, Berry and Hourihane pushing on, and Jennings and Lalkovic out wide with Waring the target up top. 4-5-1 out of possession, 4-3-3 in possession. Should get the best out of Hourihane and Berry in particular, but lots of onus on Waring to bring them and the wingers into play. We'll see.
Lalkovic not cleared... diamond in the middle with tall stoke lad up top with chelsea loanee in behind him... man u loanee playing the holding midfield role...
I think it'll be this too. Only real decision to make for me is Berry or Bailey. Neither Lita or Hemmings have justified a start so Waring should start & right wing's been a problem all season so Lalkovic straight in
