Team for next season...?

[JamieY26]

Based on the exciting news of the double signing, just thought i'd see what team you would like to see out there.

For me its:

McCarthy

Kelly Pearce Mapps Bridge


Kebe Akpan Carrico Karacan Drenthe


LeFondre


Bench: Fedders, Pearce, Gunter, Guthrie, McAnuff, HRK, Pog


Theres a team that i think could very realistically win the championship! Exciting times!

[Lalala Rougier]

Is that Pearce starting and on the bench? No wonder his contract took so long to sort out.

[yappy]

With the players we've currently got, I'd go for:

McCarthy
Kelly Pearce Mariappa Bridge
Guthrie Karacan
Kebe HRK Drenthe
Le Fondre

Subs: Federici, Morrison, Carrico, Akpan, McAnuff, McCleary, Pog

[Basildon]

Can't see Le Fondre being particularly useful in a 4-5-1.

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

mccarthy
gunter, pearce, mariappa, bridge
guthrie karacan
drenthe, mcanuff/hrk, kebe
pog/alfie/(hooper/austin/rhodes if we can sign one of them)

WHAT? Pog on the bench?, Guthrie on the bench? Mcleary not even on the Bench?.......are you sure?

McCarthy

Gunter - Mariappa - Pearce - Bridge

Kebe - Karacan/Carrico - Guthrie - Drenthe

ALF/Pog - A N Other


Assuming we sign a new striker, I'll reserve judgement on who I'd like to partner him until I see who he is. Given the style that Adkins likes to play, as has been highlighted by others, I think Gunter would be a better choice than Kelly given his greater ability to get up and down the pitch (may need to work on his defensive skills however...)

We're gunna have a bloody strong team though, and a pretty decent squad with the like of HRK, McAnuff and whichever of the either/or options don't make it (assuming they all stay).

[Royalcop]

I hope we wouldn't play 4-5-1 in the Champ - can't see the need as almost every side we play should be weaker than us in midfield.

Kelly-------Mariappa---Morrison----Bridge
------------------Karacan / Carrico (if fit)----

[grey_squirrel]

LOL at anyone thinking Kebe will be fit for most of next season (as usual)

[akranes]

Can't see Le Fondre being particularly useful in a 4-5-1.

He's only useful in a 4-5-1 if you have a playmaker, which we do not....

[Basildon]

McCarthy
Kelly Pearce Mariappa Bridge
Kebe/HRK Karacan Guthrie Drenthe
Alf Pog

[andrew1957]

The encouraging thing is that it is quite hard to pick the starting 11 for 3rd August - even without any more additions.

I can see a few players leaving. I will be surprised if we don't see Kebe and Fed go and possibly even McAnuff and ALF move on. I am not sure about Pog. I think if he wants to stay we should keep him as he could be very good at this level.

The most gutted player must be Morrison. I thought he looked much better at the end of the season and had a nice little partnership going with Mariappa but sure to be dropped for Pearce.

Assuming no more players come or go I would start:

McCarthy

Gunter Mariappa Pearce Bridge

HRK Karacan Guthrie Drenthe

Pog and/or ALF or ANO

Bench - Fed, Morrison, Kelly, McAnuff, McCleary, Blackman, Carrico

[Unbelievable Jeff]

I'd go with:

McCarthy

Gunter
Mariappa
Pearce
Bridge

Karacan
Guthrie

McCleary
HRK
Drenthe

Pog/New Signing

[yappy]

To be honest I don't particularly rate Pog or Blackman, and with Roberts never being fit, Alfie was the only choice for me! I do think up-front is probably our one weak area at the moment.

[Ouroboros]

League apps:

08/09 - 41
09/10 - 42
10/11 - 36
11/12 - 33

So 2012/13 was the first in which he wasn't fit for most of the season.

On the assumption we go 4-2-3-1


================McCarthy=================

Gunter======Pearce====Mariappa======Bridge


=========Karacan=======Guthrie===========

================Pog====================



Taylor, Morrison, Kelly, Carrico, Jobi, Le Fondre, Blackman. Or do we go back to 5 subs I can't remember. If so Kelly and Blackman can make way.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

I agree....for last season.

Pog will be quality in the championship, especially as he will get more service to his feet instead of long balls that he struggles with.
I think Blackman's critiscism was awfully over the top. I think he will chip in with his fair share of goals this season. It is not an easy task signing from league 1 and being dumped into a premier league relegation battle.

Agree as well. Our striking options are certainly the weak area at the moment. Also agree, I think the Blackman abuse was unjust and I think he will be good for us next season; but having only seen him in a couple of games I cannot put him in the first 11. Probably need two new strikers.
