While we are at it lets make Tav captain.

Hope to hell he is playing for Forest next season.

Can't get my head round that. Was one of our better players last season. 

Seems like he's just the new whipping boy.

We were gash last season. 

I would also punt Wallace.

Whole new back line with Wilson, Beerman and Bates as backup.

Having 3 young boys as back up for defence doesn't exactly push for places. I'd ideally like to keep Tav and Wallace as both have shown they can perform with us. If they find themselves on the bench however that's their fault.

Foderingham

Abella/Tavernier - Alves - Cardoso - Beerman

Rossiter/Jack

Candeis/Walker/McKay - Pena - Dorrans/Krancjar - Dalcio

Herrera

Obviously the slashes are there because players either haven't signed yet or not proven they can actually kick a football (Rossiter).

Problem with Tavernier is he cant defend. Beerman and Bates will never be good enough if they are 3rd choice.

Been pondering for a while,Barry McKay I know he's fallen from grace after his dreadful performances this season..but I've been thinking has anyone thought about playing him striker?..imo he strikes a ball better than any of our actual strikers do(wouldn't be hard)he's got pace and can take the ball past a player and with a strike partner like Herrera/garner playing target man next to him a think it could work out.

Obviously this isn't going to happen but just wondering what people think..

McKay as a striker in theory is a good idea. But it'll just take one early heavy tackle on him to put him out of the game as he doesn't seem to handle the physical aspect particularly well and tends to hide.

Wallace has only shown loyalty, not good defending - I would rather have a decent defender than a loyal one

The way PC was talking the other day about CB partnerships and naming players in two's I would suspect we'll be playing with a back four.

I think we'll have a couple different formations, possibly three, with a variation between having two upfront or the one.

4-2-3-1

Foderingham

Tavernier Alves Cardoso Wallace

Jack/Rossiter Pena

McKay/Dalcio Dorrans Walker

Herrera/Morelos

Or 4-3-3;

Foderingham

Tavernier Alves Cardoso Wallace

Pena Jack/Rossiter Dorrans

McKay/Dalcio Herrera/Morelos Walker

Or 4-4-2;

Foderingham

Tavernier Alves Cardoso Wallace

McKay/Dalcio Pena/Dorrans Jack/Rossiter Walker

Herrera Morelos

I think the back five will be pretty consistent other places will be up for grabs depending on form and fitness.
