Hdlaky
Burns Burgess Edmundson Coulson
Harper Evans
Fraser Chaplin Edwards
Piggot
Is quite possibly our best starting formation. And only 4 of those players started against Burton.
Perhaps a little early to pressing the panic button.

Five of those started yesterday. And the truth is that none of us, including Cook, know what our best line up will look like. |  |

Where has this Burns is now our best right-back come from? Was KVY poor yesterday? Burns clearly hasn’t been brought here to play RB. |  |

Apologies on error.
Agree and also Cook has stated as much; we and he won’t know the best 11 until he’s had the full squad together and tried some variations.
Which points to the fact that it’s just too early to judge.
Should we expect more from a team of stronger players even whilst they settle and develop their system - possibly? - but doesn’t factor in how hard the opposition are also fighting.
Time will tell. But mustn’t let negativity from fans transfer to players - and I’m sorry listening to Radio Suffolk, that is happening. | |

I love KVY, if he’s on form we win those first two games, but he looks a shadow currently. Hopefully he can turn it around. If not it may well be Burns.
But agree he is intended for right attacking mid. | |

It’s not been reflected in results or convincing performances clearly so there’s still some work to do. But definitely excited to see what this squad can do when it gets into some rhythm.
We haven’t seen the CBs yet but the prospective spine of Hladky, Evans & Harper, Fraser and Pigott/Bonne already looks a significant step up. And then there’s a wealth of talent and options on the flanks too.
I’ve not been discouraged by any of the games so far even if the results have been below par. |  |

Agree Darth
I’ve just not seen the horror displays, or new players looking a step backwards (part from Aluko), to panic.
Indeed their have been performances and passages of play to be positive about.
The concern has to be individual errors, being behind the intensity of the opposition and the system looking some way off being embedded.
But it’s a massive restructure, with LOADS of players having recently been added.
Stick with it, give it a chance, if we start to not show progress after a few more games, or the system and intensity is not there, absolutely call it out.
But we’ve just not seen enough yet to panic. Quite rightly Town fans have zero patience. | |

Wow, people are quick to write off KVY.
Also PC's choice not to start Edwards.
Penney has played well so far. |  |

How do you definitively put three players who haven't played a minute for the club yet in a best XI? It might work out like that but not all of these signings will come off for various reasons.
As much as it is far too early in the season to be unduly concerned, it's also far too early to decide who are best players are. |  |

Maybe, maybe not. We’re going to need the squad whatever happens. And we know that waiting on the return of players often leads to disappointment (slightly different in this case as players are just getting match fit as opposed to returning from long term injury, so hopefully we’ll be stronger soon).
I’m not sure anyone is panicking; all I’ve seen is that we need to be better if we want to go up. Which seems fair enough to me, as we do. Loads of time to work on it though. |  |

Well burgess going straight in for one…. I’m pretty sure Coulson and Edmundson are also deemed to be the better quality
But as you say we won’t know. I’m sure they expected KVY to play straight into form. So they’ll have to rethink. Similarly that Aluko might be above Norwood!! | |

I'm not sure you'll have universal agreement as to your proposed use of Fraser out wide. |  | | |

For me, we've played three games and in all three games, every single one of our mistakes has been punished with a goal, so we're pretty unlucky on that front. The quality of defender we have brought in should considerably improve our backline so hopefully sort itself out. |  |

Dobra has created a dilemma for Cook. Im pretty sure Fraser was bought in for the advanced middle role, yet Dobra has played himself into to team. You can't really put Fraser on the bench. |  |

I was reflecting on our starting line ups so far whilst having a dump yesterday (the most thoughtful time of the day) and what has surprised me is how blunt we've looked in front of goal, given the wealth of attacking options we have.
Even allowing for the need to gel I'd have hoped for a few more incisive attacking moves like the Fraser goal against Morecambe.
We know the defence is short, especially at CB, so can sort of accept the soft goals for now, but the lack of attacking guile is a bit too reminiscent of last season.
No panic, as I repeatedly feel the need to say, but we need to get much much more from our attacking play. |  |

Not a dig at you at all but it's funny how our best XI seems to change each week, and largely consists of players that didn't play in the prior match, not to mention players that I doubt many of us know much about. There weren't many calling for Burns at RB ahead of KVY last week. |  |

I think there is a real fear toward turning the ball over, so they are trying hard to create clear-cut chances rather than be a little freer with their shooting. This is not a post bashing our backline (although we have to ask questions here so far), but rather a team that will be countered on a lot if we're not careful with our possession in the final third. | |

Indeed. To be honest I think this season the notion of a best XI is a write off. I think the back 7 (goalie, defence, and CMs) will settle and we'll have a pretty consistent selection there, maybe with occasional rotation of the full backs. However, the front 4 I can see there being a fair bit of rotation, given we have so many options and that they each offer something slightly different. The key for us this season is finding a few combinations in that front 4 that work effectively so that we're creating chances. That's been lacking so far in the two league games, but it's early days. | |
