Now that Mendi is here, name your starting line up for Colchester

[dingobruce]

I can't decide, so you go first!

 

[Mellotron]

Brez
Inigo Elphick El Abd Painter
Bennett Crofts ARISMENDI Dicker LuaLua
Murray

 

[Dizzle.]

Brez
Calde Elphick El-abd Painter
Navarro
Bennett Arismendi Dicker Lua-Lua
Murray

Give Crofts a rest after his midweek international game.

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

monday albion starting line-up is the most obvious thing in years of albion starting line-ups

let me clarify: MENDI VS.

 

[ali jenkins]

Why change it? The current side have won 2 games on the bounce and apart from Forster and Murray nothing has changed.

This new guy might be shit hot but why change a winning side?

Kind of agree mate, but seems unlikely were going to have a player that's worth more than the entire rest of the squad on the bench.

Could see Gus maybe giving Crofts a rest if he plays midweek for Wales. Other than that would like the starting team to remain the same with Mendi getting a run out in the second half. If he impresses it's fair enough to hand him a start against Swindon.

because he should (potentially at least) improve the side?

Same starting line-up for me with the exception of Arismendi replacing Navarro

 

[Da Man Clay]

Same starting line up as Saturday. Don't see the point of changing a winning team especially given how well it has worked over the last 3 games.

 

[sam86]

Brez
Calde Elphick El-abd Painter
Navarro

Give Crofts a rest after his midweek international game.

Agree with this (I think)...

 

[ali jenkins]

Exactly, the guy is here until the end of the season but at the moment the team are playing well, especially the midfield, so why change things.

 

[Ding Dong !]

SSN headline says he is a Winger !!!! like Calderon is our 18 year old right back

 

[Gerbil]

Brez
Calde Elphick El-abd Painter
Navarro
Bennett Arismendi Dicker Lua-Lua
Murray

Give Crofts a rest after his midweek international game.

 

[Forster's Armband]

Is the new fella an attacking midfielder? If he is I don't think you can drop Navarro as Crofts and Dicker don't break up the game as well as he does. I imagine Gus may go for this.

Brezovan
Calderon
Painter
Elphick
El-Abd
Bennett
Navarro
Crofts
Arismendi
Lua-Lua
Murray

 

[Ding Dong !]

Brez
Calderon Elphick El Abd Painter

And No Strikers !!!!!! Who needs them with a FLAIR midfield

 

[Da Man Clay]

Exactly. It's not as if this fella is proven in the English game either. I wouldn't want to upset the balance of the side just because he has a price tag.

 

[dingobruce]

Is the new fella an attacking midfielder?

He's a defensive midfielder, nicknamed The Destroyer so you can imagine his style of play

 

[les dynam]

4 4 2 with mendi and dicker in the engine room, bennet and lualua on the wing. crofts and navarro on the bench. murrey and forster upfront. same back 4 as saturday. doesn't matter who plays in goal as he won't have much to do!

 

[Scoffers]

As was with Mendi replacing Dicker, would be my bet

 

[dingobruce]

I'm gonna go for something a little different!
