Not even on the bench, so assume injuries - hopefully just niggles Looks like we might have Nunez starting v Sunderland, not ideal |  | |  |

Could be an ultra-cautious pre-season load management thing, although it's only been one game a week for a couple of weeks. |  |

No chance. Thats two in a row that Dara has started at RB. Pretty much confirms that's his back four of choice at this point. |  |

| The starting 11… on 13:53 - Aug 15 with 2556 views | chicoazul | I’m not enjoying this plan of Dara at RB but looks decent apart from that. |  |

Chico - I think Daragh is quite an accomplished right back. And better at set pieces |  |

So is Dara. |  |

| Shows the extra depth we are still needing on 13:58 - Aug 15 with 2354 views | unstableblue | Nunez and Clarke shouldn’t be starting, maybe also Egeli (Be interesting to see where Egeli and Clarke start in positions) Fatawu is a big part of our attacking idea.. and with burns gone, we look lite on the right |  |
|  |
| The starting 11… on 13:59 - Aug 15 with 2310 views | jas0999 | Surely not a couple of injuries already … two key players out. Clearly looking for a right back and striker situation needs to be urgently addressed. |  | |  |

Or maybe it’s just a pre season game and he wants to see what players are capable of and formation options ( let’s hope it’s that) |  | |  |

Could also just be taking no chances with minor niggles. Ideally you would want Florentino to play more than 45 mins pre-season before his league debut so it suggests that rather than simple rotation. |  | |  |

Sindre 10 I’m sure. Will be interesting to see which way round Clarke and Maeda play though. Clarke never looks comfortable on the right and I don’t think Maeda likes playing there either. |  | |  |

Might be interesting to see what Maeda can do on the right. We're short on that wing at the moment, especially as McAteer and Ogbene could be off too, so it would be good to know what he can do out there. |  |

Probably just trying a different formation, ie he still wants Leif to bomb forward and then the rest of the defence shifts left, with 3 CBs and Dara then in a sort of right sided CB position. And he just feels Dara is suited to that than a Furlong. Furlong would be used in a traditional back 4 setup, when we play that formation |  | |  |

Don't like this fiddling about for the last pre-season game. According to TWTD it's Egeli on right, Clarke No 10, Maeda left. After Egeli's performance last week, why move him? And Clarke not in his best position |  | |  |

Agreed. Barring injuries this should be considered a warm up game for next week, and so far it’s been a breath of fresh air seeing players playing largely in their preferred positions. Cannot understand why we’d change that in our final game. Don’t like it. |  | |  |

I suspect Clarke is just a place holder for Enciso for this game. |  | |  |
