Lads. We're in the Premier League. Full house at DC, all 91 of us going mad. I would like to see the following 11, but intrigued to see what Eddie will come up with: Boruc Francis Elphick Cook Mings Gosling Surman Ritchie King Gradel Wilson ---- Think King has been ace in pre-season and can fulfil the 10 role very well, got the physical ability to be up and down as he showed at Hoffenheim. Unfortunate for Pughy and Daniels as their left hand side partnership has been great, but I think Eddie will have them on the bench. Who knows? Buzzing. Any form of result would do.
If you sign Murray you will have 4 first team strikers in Murray, Wilson, King and Kermogrant (plus Gradel can play upfront). Would that mean you guys would always play with two upfront? Or would it alternatively just mean Kermogrant sold/loaned out with King/Gradel as a wide forward?
Although we always lined up 4-4-2 last season we always had either Kermorgant or Pitman in the number 10 role just behind Wilson. King is direct competition for Wilson and Kermorgant and Tomlin will battle it out for the number 10 role. I'd imagine Gradel will fit provide direct competition with Pugh for the LM position and IF we do sign Murray, then he will be the one challenging Kermorgant and Tomlin will be challenging Arter for his spot. Nice balance IMO.
I reckon Bournemouth are getting off to winning start here. Good luck for the season men hope Eddie keeps you up.
Championship standard game tbh. Both teams will struggle. We should have won but there you go, ****ing set piece. We miss Arter badly. Onwards to Anfield...
Yes indeed Villa reminded me of a decent Championship side last season, especially first half when they were poorer. Improved second half mind. We didn't take our chances when they came, and of course we were always going to get undone by a corner. Just like watching Bournemouth!
Desperately unlucky not to put away either of your chances. Don't think this will continue, though. Good luck for the season. Hope you guys stay up.
