If lansbury stays and signs a new contract what other players will we need and in what positions? Personally think we only need 1 more striker as a back up for injuries or suspensions then I would say the squad is complete

1.) 21 Aug 2014
That '1 more striker' could well be Dexter if according to the back room staff he'll be in full training in 2-3 weeks?

2.) 21 Aug 2014
I know iam going to get slated for this but I really don't think Dexter is the answer for our 4th striker he hasn't been for a few years now.he was a good player for us a few years back but no longer.i wish him all the best but its time we looked for someone else.

I agree with gazza, just think dex can't cut it anymore in this league, was awful in back end of 2013 season, don't think he scored since signing his contract!

4.) 21 Aug 2014
Just checked and blsckstock has not scored since signing his new 4 n a half year deal in jan 2013

{Ed034's Note - he has, just not for us

In terms of one more player I think Pearce has to decide long term if Cohen will be a Left Back of Left Half - midfield
For me Fox is too slow as a Left Back
and was poor against Bolton and got ripped apart by Bournemouth. Also when he made the mistake that cost a goal against Bolton he started blaming others which was equally poor
So for me, a good natural left back (Lichij was very good second half but is not a natural left back for attacking) is what is required and if Cohen will be a left back then it is sorted with cover already there with Harding and Fox
I think an attacking midfield is what is required n case of Lansbury move or injury. Vaughan will be cover as defending midfielder

We need to give Dex a chance. He will be playing in a far better team when he returns. He will have Reid, Burke, Lansbury, Antonio, Cohen, hunt, Paterson, all supplying the bullets.

Let's hope everyone stays fit and Dex doesn't need to play! That way we will be sure to finish high up the table.

7.) 21 Aug 2014
I agree with the above post. Back 4 are Hunt Mancienne Hobbs and Cohen
Mid field Reid, Lansbury Vaughan ( away from home or against Cardiff ) Antonio /Burke or both. Fryatt Britt. Is this are best formatt does everyone think

8.) 21 Aug 2014
What about ze German? Supposedly a very good DM, passes the ball well, scores great goals and does great somersaults! Sounds like just what we need although I've got no idea who you would drop to play him.

9.) 21 Aug 2014
When everyone is fit we will be able to field our best starting 11 in their best positions
Darlow
Hunt Mancienne Wilson Cohen
Burke Lansbury Vaughan Reid
Assombolonga Fryatt
Bench
Patterson Antiono Hobbs Lichaj Tesche Veldwijk De Vires

Lascelles Fox Laing Osborn Mc Loughlin Harding Blackstock Collins Halford have to wait their turn!
The bearded one that does not walk on water banished to the desert!

Riedy
Asbo Fryatt.

De vreice jam l, ze German, l high,
Pato, Antonio, lars.

12.) 21 Aug 2014
Forgot Vaughan. Lol

Red in exile very good team.

13.) 21 Aug 2014
Hobbs on the bench?? No thank you

14.) 21 Aug 2014
He's in my team.

15.) 21 Aug 2014
Reid has to play cm for me, is no longer a winger. He is what makes this team tick and has the experience to control a game. Just think he would be wasted on the wing

Imagine this team

Darlow
Hobbs mancienne hobbs cohen
Vaughan
Lansbury Reid
Burke Assombalonga Fryatt

16.) 21 Aug 2014
2 hobbs' in the team, I wouldn't say no to that lol

17.) 22 Aug 2014
Nobody's got pato in best 11. As everyone forgot how good he played last season and some of the goals he scored. It was only his 1st season and
He would be even better in our best 11.
This season. Sure he will grab his chance and take it when it comes.
My best 11 when all fit.
Darlow
Hunt Hobbs manchiene Cohen
Vaughen
Reid Lansbury pato
Fryatt assombalonga
And a very strong bench
Lars Wilson Antonio
Licha fox tesche (German)

I think patterson could play as our back up striker. I always liked dex , however pato will certainly get us goals as he already proved last season. With the pacewe have now on the flanks he would get more.dex I think would be loaned out again , maybe leeds will come callihg again.

19.) 22 Aug 2014
Not you Jack111 the bloke above you, Redinexile has got Hobbs on the bench. Touchy!

20.) 22 Aug 2014
Marco, what about Burke? I think he has been great so far for us. We'd need a keeper on the bench too! Shows how tricky it is, what a great squad we now have!

{Ed034's Note - I don't understand how pato can be picked ahead of Burke at the minute, or Antonio for that matter

21.) 22 Aug 2014
I really like marco's team but burke is that out and out winger we have been craving, however your system would work if hunt and cohen got forward to provide the width.
Great to see so many different starting line ups just shows how strong our squad as a whole has become.
