Almost a solid prem side on 10:27 - Aug 21 with 3451 views | NedPlimpton | Looks promising Although I think Tuanzabe will take some replacing at right back. Cajuste won't want to not be starting games and Phillips will need a fair bit of time before being a regular starter. Also definitely think Delap is seen more as a striker rather than on the right |  | |  |

Why will he need a fair bit of time? He had a full pre season and played plenty of minutes. We are not paying serious money for him to bed in slowly. He's our marquee signing and would think he barely misses a minute from Fulham until the end of the season if he's fit. |  | |  |

Who cares. It's not an English class. |  |

Almost a solid prem side on 11:17 - Aug 21 with 3085 views | Wallingford_Boy | It’s decent, although not sure about Borja and feel we need a proper LW to replace Delap. Borja has struggles to make an impression at every club he’s been so far, although still young admittedly. |  |

Almost a solid prem side on 11:40 - Aug 21 with 2717 views | BlueySwede | Not sure we will get amother CB. Also I wouldn´t disregard Burns, Chaplin, Woolf, Tuanzebe as potential starters, though Chaplin needs to up his game. Anyway, lots to like about that team, and lots of potential to improve with McKennas coaching. |  | |  |

Wouldn't want to sign a Scum player, tbh |  |

Almost a solid prem side on 11:52 - Aug 21 with 2616 views | Garv | If both are fit I think Burns will play more than Delap on the right. Also I'm still convinced Szmodics is not an inside left winger, he's as much a no.10 or second striker as you'll find. I can see Hutchinson playing across the three and rotating between them almost every game. Otherwise Chaplin and Szmodics will compete for the no.10. |  |

It's not an English class, it is literally somebody's name and there is no reason to not spell it correctly. Basic respect. |  |

TBH predicting an actual lineup is quite difficult as some of the players we've signed don't actually play in the roles that we lineup with so im not entirely sure how its going to go. Chappers, we might be at his ceiling, I dunno, of all players he looked a tad out of his depth saturday but we must remember it's livepool, but it was interesting that most others liked quite comfortable. Blackburn fans were saying Szmodics is best sitting behind the striker, but what can we play to utilise that whilst making the most of our other players? |  |

Why would we need a LW to replace Delap? He doesn't play LW. Also, your claim on Broja is incorrect, he made a good impression at both Vitesse and Southampton, but i'm guessing you know that and I have probably just given you the bite you were after. |  | |  |

Not everyone is a spelling bee champion. Poor guy could be a bit dyslexic or something, or a tad thick. We shouldn't punish people for that. |  |

Yeah, possibly But played pre-season at centre half and hasn't had any time in a McKenna system. Was dropped in it at West Ham and that didn't exactly work out Could go either way, but I wouldn't be shocked if we were cautious |  | |  |

Of course it's incorrect, he can't even spell his name and doesn't know where Delap plays! |  | |  |
Almost a solid prem side on 12:27 - Aug 21 with 2104 views | charlie1 | Bit harsh on Burgess, Broady and Luongo to be bumped from the squad completely. |  | |  |
Almost a solid prem side on 12:38 - Aug 21 with 1989 views | Rimsy | 3 at the back (Axel, Burgess, Greaves). 2 wing backs, (Johnson, Davies). 2 midfield. Looking strong there now, be some rotation till our strongest pairing is established. 2 number 10 (Omari and Sammie.) Broja and Delap sharing game time as the 9. We have good cover all over the pitch now. |  |
