and also lua lua is better coming off the bench

 

[perseus]

Have we seen the last of Holla? I did not think he deserved to be dropped and I could not see any tactical reason why he was omitted and he did not seem to be injured, although there may have been fitness issues.

 

[brightonmark1234]

as much as we want 4-4-2 we wont see it unless the manager as a change of heart and gives it ago

 

[FRYG]

Stockdale
Bruno - Dunk - Greer - Bennett
Ince - Holla
Kayal
Ledesma Baldock
O'Grady

this would be my choice

 

[Stat Brother]

Usual 5, (although Greer is hanging on by his finger nails)

-------Ince - Holla.

Kaz - Kayal - Baldock

-------O'Grady.


Best, McSmudger, Stephens, New fella/JFC, Calde, don't buy a bike from him, Walton.

Shuffling Holla, Stephens, and Kayal is fine depending on fitness and available round peg round hole positioning.

 

[Rugrat]

I'd be delighted if Best were benched and O'Grady returns but I fear that won't happen

[Machiavelli]

Couple of observations on selections so far:
-- few seem to be picking Texieira, who is even absent from the bench in many; he's been much improved of late, and probably been our most dangerous attacking player post-Hyypia, particularly at home
-- few also seem to be picking Stephens, who has received generally positive reviews when he's played in the last two games; the question with him is when he'll start his first full game. I'd like it to be tomorrow, so I'll go for:

---------------- Stockdale ---------------
Bruno --- Greer --- Dunk --- Bennett
------------ Ince ------- Kayal -----------
----------------- Stephens ---------------
Teixiera ----------------------- Baldock
---------------- O'Grady -----------------

Subs: Walton, Calderon, Hughes, JFC, Ledesma, KLL, Best

With, ideally, KLL and Best to come on after about an hour

Strong case for including O'Grady and very much against having Calderon at right back.

------- Stockdale --------
Bruno --- Greer --- Dunk --- Bennett
------------ Kayal ------- Holla -----------
----------------- Ince ---------------
Baldock ----------------------- Teixiera
---------------- O'Grady -----------------​

Subs: Walton, Lualua, Stephens, Best, Calderon, Hughes, Forster-Caskey

I don't think Ledesma will start, new signings rarely do! Think he will come off the bench.

I agree with [MENTION=153]perseus[/MENTION] but with Ledesma replacing JFC on the bench.

Baldock must play as the central striker and I'd recall Holla.

Are we really in for him or wishful thinking re: Akpom?

Danny Holla simply has to play, as the only time we currently look like scoring is from set pieces, and he is the only one capable of taking them consistently well.
