[Albion] What would be your starting 11 v Watford (opening game)

[Ninja Elephant]

Ryan
Bruno Dunk Balogun
Schelotto Stephens Bissouma Suttner
Jahanbakhsh Gross
Murray​

Balance. Danger. Goals.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Knowing Hewoughton , I don’t think it’ll be far off last seasons team .

I doubt he’ll throw in too many new boys to an away trip . He’ll go with what he trusts .

Unless one of the new singings really rips it up in Pre season

I think this is right. Perhaps Bernado? I’d expect Murray to start and then Andone / Ali to come on at some stage but let’s see. We are going to have a very strong bench.

 

[Baldseagull]

I imagine Stephens is fairly confident too.

I guess so.

Unless we’ve got new world beaters, stick with the tried and tested (bar Ali). Get the new lads on second half depending on how the game goes. Don’t throw them straight into their first prem game, we saw what happened to Davy.

I’ll leave it to the boss there’s quite a few shitty decisions he’s going to have to make

This, all day long.

I’m gong to come at it from a ‘likely’ starting XI based on our manager’s way of thinking... so i’m thinking about Chris thinking in the third person ermmm yeah Chris Hughton likes that... etc. People may remember, Micky Adams was great at thinking and talking in the third person... I digress... sorry...

Going by the ‘tried and tested’ Hughtang mantra, I suspect his opening hand will be very conservative:

I also think Chris writes his teamsheet a little differently, based on his ‘first name on the teamsheet’ way of thinking thusly:

(If fit)

Murray,
Dunk,
Gross,
Duffy,
Ryan,
Stephens,
Bruno,
Bong,
Propper,
Knocky,
March.

That’s how I think this season may begin. It’s not the team I would pick, but I can see why he would. Nearly every above player will know who’s sitting on the bench... waiting for any opportunity to claim that shirt.

Maximum effort guaranteed, something Chris thrives on; the good old 110%.

Ryan

Greyhound dunk Duffy Bernardo
knockaert propper Bissouma stephens jahan
Andone

Controversial but I would leave out gross .
Ok , that probably means I’m mental
But I like the balance of that eleven

That was more necessity though, as Kayal was injured v Atletico. I agree though, don't throw all the newbies in from the front...I can see one or two, but no more than that.

Absolutely mental, contemptible, insane.

I love it.

I don’t usually leave the asylum at night, but this is a lineup i’d pay to see right ****ing now.

Jesus we need a starting 15 to even get close to getting all my first teamers in! Chris is going to have a migraine choosing who to play! This is looking on paper as a superb squad. Hats off the everyone who has contributed to assembling this squad. Has there been ever been a better time to be a fan!!?

Jahanbakhsh

Bissouma/ Propper
Izquierdo

Groß
Andone

I've just let a bit of wee out

 

[Mackenzie]

Ryan
Bruno-Duffy-Dunk-Bong
Jahanbakhsh-Stephens-Propper-Izquierdo
Gross
Murray​

Subs: Button, Knockaert, Balogun, Bissouma, Andone, Bernardo, Locadia

 

[Turkey]

My hunch is Knockaert and March will start given Izquierdo and Jahanbakhsh will be a little behind in their pre-season due to returning late from the World Cup.

Those two would probably be better suited away from home to start.

 

[MrSnuggles]

Rather than the eleven who would start lm trying to figure out what is the strongest starting eleven if everyone was fit! It's difficult!!

 

[Milano]

A lot on here picking Andone over Murray despite I'm guessing having never actually seen the bloke play..........

That 18 is absolutely outrageous. Think Bernardo starts for Bong but other than that think you’re right.

Stop it......

 

[SeagullinExile]

Does anybody think we may change formation? Two games behind closed doors already, and another one to follow next week. Could Chris be trying something different away from prying eyes?

Just a thought.

I think they've been for players we want to get rid of.
