[Zatara]

Isnt Young going to be a LB + we really need to sell at least 1 CB and 2-3 CM.

Strange and disappointing there hasnt been more sales as there have been plenty of rumours

 

[Bluebonic]

I think young is ambifootrous, so either peg functions equally well. He is more cover for Myko that for Coleman
/ Patterson, i would have thought? Great that he can cover midfield too.

Yep, having ‘3 right backs’ and 1 left back is playing havoc with my OCD.
I was even considering if we need another 2 LB’s to even it up !!
Don’t get me started on the forward line!

 

[Furey1878]

Still think 4-3-3 suits this squad best:

Pickford

Patterson / Coleman-------Tarkowski / Keane------New CB / Branthwaite------Mykolenko / Young

Gueye / Garner
Doucoure-----------Iwobi / Onana

Danjuma / Gnonto??----------------------------------------------------McNeil / Iwobi

DCL / New CF​

DCL / New CF​

you have 2 players wide right that have barely played there before

 

[Furey1878]

you have 2 players wide right that have barely played there before

I'm of the school of thought that if you can play right wing, you can play left wing and vice versa

 

[Paul Rideout]

Still think 4-3-3 suits this squad best:

Pickford

Patterson/Coleman-------Tarkowski/Anyone but Keane------New CB/Branthwaite------Mykolenko/Young

Gueye/Onana
Doucoure/Gnonto??-----------Iwobi/Garner

Danjuma/Iwobi/Mills----------------------------------------------------McNeil/Danjuma/Gnonto??

DCL/New CF​

Fixed... I repeated a few times because... well... to confuse people.

I added Mills because he played well at Tranmere and Dyche was there to watch it.

 

[Marius57]

Gnonto has played wide right as often as wide left.

He has played centrally twice as often as either left or right.

 

[coleman=quality]

We need to offload at least one CB and get one in as a starter or to be pushing with branthwaite for the second CB spot. Godfrey, Keane, Holgate shouldn’t be playing. And still desperate for a DCL replacement or cover if he can stay fit Simms going and Cannon possibly going leaves us with maup I can’t even finish his name I don’t want to say it

 

[bobbylatch]

Would include Harry Tyrer on that list, he's no longer in the U21 squad.

Tyrer is a cracking young keeper. Did really well on loan at Chester, last season and has gone on a season long loan to Chesterfield.

 

[DanEFC92]

VERY BAD

Will be 22 when Gbamin, Gomes, Holgate get gone. 21 if Gray is sold.

 

[T LEAFE]

The season is 2 weeks away and we now have the worst squad we have ever had going into a new season.
Whilst others strengthen even more
If we survive relegation it will be an even bigger miracle than the miracles of recent years
Welcome to BMD Millwall
