So it looks like the starting 11 for Saturday is as follows....

[Justice]

I'd play Calde LB over Chicko I'm afraid...

The Chick played well at Derby covered a lot of ground and has some pace I would play him.

would love a 442

You would leave Greer out?

 

[ahall]

You would leave Greer out?

im not the biggest fan of greers my only favor of his is being a good captain, think he's too slow for the game now as a CB

 

[Mackenzie]

Stockdale

Bruno~Greer~Hughes~Calderon

Crofts~Ince~Caskey

Buckley~O'Grady~Mackail-Smith​

Subs: Walton, Dunk, Chicksen, March, Lualua, Toko, Fenelon.

 

[Rod Marsh]

I'd play Hughes LB over Calde. (I'm also afraid ......afraid we won't sign Ward in time)

I'd go chicksen. A lefty and with pace. Assuming we get possession further up the pitch I think he's a better pick than Calderon or Hughes at left back.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Antonio I believe, very capable of causing problems

According to Sky this evening Forest are after him.....so maybe someone else

 

[murraymints4brighton]

If Chicksen was able to play with his right foot I would feel confident with the back four. With Chris O'Grady (still doesn't sound right) upfront Im pretty sure a draw is likely.

 

[HenryC]

Can we PLEASE leave out McSmudger.... He's not good enough for the championship....

 

[Blue and White Tiger]

Stockdale

Bruno~Greer~Dunk~Calderon

Toko~Ince~Agustien

Buckley~O'Grady~Mackail-Smith​

Subs: Walton, Hughes, Chicksen, March, Lualua, Crofts, Fenelon.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Chicksen can't be that bad surely. And this Antonio fella isn't Ronaldo, can we please have some perspective.

Of course we can't!

Basically the AXIS OF EVIL of Toko & Ince in midfield will allow the full backs to press on, and also Crofts to MARAUD at will, creating space for the front three.

In fairness I think Saturdays game will be a tough one, i hope for 3 points but its going to be close.

[Grombleton]

Not sure about the negativity around Chicksen. When he's played he's never done that badly and seemed capable each time. I'd be happy with him in there for the time being, at least until Ward/another LB is signed. I'd be happier with a left footed LB than having Calde there (i love the bloke, but he's not a left back).

 

[The Fifth Column]

So only two recognised strikers with League experience, one a well travelled journeyman and the other who hasn't particularly impressed in pre season and coming back from a serious injury with barely any first team action in a year! That doesn't inspire me to predict a victory and as seems to have been the case for at least the last 3 seasons we are short of options up front yet again.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I'm hoping Sami is a bit more ambitious with his selection compared to people picking Ince, Crofts and Toko. That's pretty much Oscar's wet dream with 7 at the back, no creativity, nobody to burst from the midfield with the ball.

Have a look at our player profiles on the official site. It's embarrassingly thin. We have 21 professionals. Three players have played less than 5 games for Bha. Three keepers. One current player(Stephens)out injured. Not one of our players from last season hit double figure goal tally.
Worried? Yes i am.

that makes for fairly unpleasant reading. I appreciate that the transfer window is tricky and the club is trying to do its best whilst doing it by the book, but if we have aspirations of promotion this season we can't be affording other teams to steal a march on us. We really need to be competitive from the first game. IMO opinion we still have 3 key areas we desperately need to recruit for.

Hughes has played at left back, many times at a higher level than championship...
