VectisSaint Posted 16 August, 2018 Share Posted 16 August, 2018 If Moi doesn't make it as sounds likely then I think we will go with 3 CBs again due to a lack of attacking wide players, unless Armstrong could play on the opposite side to Redmond. Surely Armstrong is a doubt as well if he only returned to training today. Great start, 50% of our new outfield players already injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwaysaint Posted 17 August, 2018 Share Posted 17 August, 2018 I haven't watched enough football recently to have an opinion on it here, but at the end of last season everyone was going on about Bednarek being the only decent centre back we had, now everyone is calling for Yoshida, Hoedt or Stephens to play. What happened? Is he injured? Nobody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Vestergaard travlled (is in the twitter video) but is ill according to Adam Leitch. If so, a bit odd to travel. JWP has earned a recall somehow, but good to see a back 4 and will be interesting how we setup with Ings and Austin. Tosun header inevitable though.

captainchris Posted 18 August, 2018 Share Posted 18 August, 2018 Strange line up again, even allowing for illness and injury.... If Hoedt is better than Yoshida then - well ..... we need to control the ball up there so definitely would have had Gabbiadini instead of Austin..... Romeu again - not sure either ...
