[Albion] Andone or Locardia

[BensGrandad]

Both with Ali J on the right and Len just behind on the left


and double

thats how i think in a 4-3-3 formation which is able to be 4-4-2 or even drop the wide players back to 4-5-1 if desperate and needed.

 

[beorhthelm]

Andone, harasses defenders more. see them both regularly in 4-3-3.

 

[blue-shifted]

Well, the sense I get from the occasional peruse of NSC is that most are of the impression, that we will play next season something like …

Ryan
Montoya Dunk Duffy Bernardo
Bissouma Propper
Knocky Trossard Solly
Andone

Or a variation of which contains 3 at the back, with Clarke in the team, but ultimately has the same sort of players. I don’t think that’s what we’ll see, even though the above line up looks not bad to me. I think, whatever the set up, some of the players we rate, all over the pitch, won’t feature. (For example, I’m not convinced Ryan will start). I also think he might see some players in very different positions than we’ve been used to seeing them.

I blooming well hope so, for his sake.

You have missed out our best and most effective midfielder for the past 3 seasons Stephens. I hope that your selection is wrong because it would herald another season of struggling.

That wasn't my selection mate, have another read

Fully expect us to be struggling with the wage bill we have.

Hopefully above the bottom 3 and playing better.

A struggle though

To answer the post question , expect Andone will be the main man this season. Not convinced we will sign another striker

Reckon Andone good for 10 - 15 goals in a season which is fine as long as Duffy isn't our 2nd top scorer with less than 7

 

[BensGrandad]

I have re-read it and note that you have consolidated the opinions of many on here so I apologize but hope that they are wrong.

 

[LamieRobertson]

In order of game time with our strikers, I think it will go

Andone (predominant starter)
Murray (last 15 mins when we need a goal)
Locadia (he’ll probably feature more out wide)
Connolly (Not many minutes at the start of the season, will feature more as the season goes on)

I’m sure we are looking to recruit up front and this would change the above order

If we aren’t i dont rate our chances of scoring enough goals

 

[BensGrandad]

Fully expect us to be struggling with the wage bill we have.A struggle though

I understand the logic of paying more wages to get so called better players but cannot understand the logic that suggests that Dunk Duffy Propper etc will play better if they earned £70k per week rather than £45k which is what the continual moaning about our wage bill suggests.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Hopefully their will be striker recruitment. Otherwise pre season will determine who starts, clean slate and all that. Andone should get more minutes than Locardia.

 

[Silverhatch]

He'll get a lot of minutes because he will be playing as a starter on loan to someone else.

Wasn't Daniel James on loan at Shrewsbury (and couldn't get a game) before Potter hooked him back, through necessity, and turned him into one of the hottest properties in football.

 

[BensGrandad]

IMHO we will not sign a striker and both Andone and Locadia will exceed expectations and proved the goals that we need to be mid-table.

does it ? I thought it was more that we can't often compete head to head when in for a player v other sides in the division

Hence why a lot of our players have a larger element of risk.

Not sure everyone moaning about it. It's the way it is and most of us appreciate we don't want to bankrupt the club just to compete with fellow basket cases. Pretty much everyone I know backs Blooms approach.

The loan to Shrewsbury was in 17/18 before his time and his first few games for the club were under Carvahal.

That would be very courageous of the albion.

 

[Frankie]

Locadia, Andone is a red card waiting to happen and will probably get the nod over Locadia but soon find himself serving a ban, Locadia will step up and hopefully reproduce the type of finishing like his goal v Millwall

 

[Icy Gull]

I too think that those two will do well this season, but I think we will sign a Championship striker that Potter rated from last season. In fairness we could tempt just about any that we want.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Both with Ali J on the right and Len just behind.

Kev Malcuit as the new right wing back with Bernie Inn the same position on the left.

and double

If Potter makes Jahanbakhsh, Locadia and Andone all effective premier league footballers at the same time in the same team, I will literally be on wand watch.

Ollie McBurnie? Or a young one to bring on and as back up to Andone and Locadia. I thin k that TB could go against his principles and stick with what we have to see how they do and then if needed buy in January.

We've got enough young strikers - Connolly, Mlakar, Gyokeres - no need for more youth.
