Do we know our best eleven yet ? Who are your must start players and where are replacements needed for our first choice team ? These are the questions we should ask ourselves . Think we have about 6 or 7 fist choice starters and need to bring another 4 maybe, and a goalie

Everybodys would be diff. And
Do we start with same 11 and get found out as often is the case or do we swap and change depending on opposition. To me, you have to adapt your starting line up depending who you play and if home and away. Only by maybe 1-2 players but pointless playing same team home to burton as you do away to wolves. As time goes on i think 8-9 should be regulars. I think he needs to bank on starting with kane. Phillips and viera and add defenders that can pass and attacking midfielders and strikers that can move about. Find space. Assist. And score. A lot of work on the training pitch needs doing on accurate passing and off ball movement.

Cooper is injured and Phillips is suspended. Therefore Jannson has to play I think. Roofe I think to play just behind or around lasogga. Or drop Alioski and play Roofe wide and bring in A) Hernandez for more attacking flair or B) Shoughesy to play just in front of the back four for a more cautious approach. Dallas to come on sometime after 60 minutes. That's what he does best. Interesting to see what TC decides probably something completely different.

To be honest I wouldn't start with lassoga or grot. Try something different with Saiz uo top with roofe in a 4-4-2 With viera okane centre Dallas and alioski. Then jannson ayling Pennington Anita at back with longeran in nets.

I like that but think a 4-4-1-1 would be better suited. Saiz at number 10, and hernandez for alioski. Roofe up front would be good to see though, i hope he and dallas start tonight

TC has highlighted 4 factors against Sheffield United. We were too hectic. We weren't patient. We lost the ball and we did not control the game. That to me is really just one interdependent problem. We were too hectic and not patient, pretty much the same problem compounded by losing the ball too much and if you do all that you have no chance of controlling the game. Our early season form saw us pass the ball at pace but this can only be creative backed by running into space to receive and the all important accuracy of the pass both in pace, to control it and direction to retain it. Do that and you won't appear hectic, you won't lose the ball and you will control the game.

I think at times leodis we have been to patient, we play too many sideways and backwards passes, sheff u played through us, forwards most of the time, when they were looking to get the ball in the box at times they had 5 in there, we were lucky if we had Phillips and lassoga in the box. Pennington looked out of his depth, alioski gave nothing AGAIN. as fans we probably all have our thoughts on our best 11,most will differ, I am starring to think tc will have trouble picking an 11 he can trust at the moment

SAMO'S NOVEL 3.0 IS HERE! Who else is unhappy with the performances of late? Again this weekend was a tale of score first and win, concede first and lose. i'm not sure what this stigma is, and we seem to be much better on the road this season, which i don't understand why, but the only convincing home performance has been burton. A lot of teams are seeming to win on the road this season, so we need to crank up the pressure on home form. I still stand by the fact that Phillips is growing into one of the better and more crucial players in the squad. he's that combative forward thinking midfielder that we have needed for a long time. With this season under his belt he will come very good for us, regardless of the league. I think ronaldo is one that has to be maintained well, this run in the first team will do him some good, but we depended on him too much last year and that cost us. I love him but we need to see more from the 3 combined in the middle of the park. When was the last time we played the same back four and goalkeeper 2 games in a row? This makes me wonder if TC is just axing individuals to try and cover his arse about a previous defeat. The team needs to gel and we need a confirmed starting 11 with 2/3 fringe/impact players, currently we have 18 players fighting for the first 11. This is forcing us into an unknown potential as we are unaware of our best team. We need to stick to the same team and field the best players each week to get good form out of them. When we started with the same team, players like roofe starting, we won games consecutively. Friday was poor, and I think these bad results are damaging morale. Look at when we beat sunderland, forrest, bolton, all on the road, there was a time where we didn't concede for 6 hours or something ridiculous. I think 2 changes need to be made tomorrow. Last seasons hero pontus recalled and we need a huge performance from him, ayling and cooper need to step up. And hernandez back in the side. The team for me: Lonergan, Ayling, Jansson, Coops, Anita, Okane, Vieira, Phillips (NO 10 role) Saiz (right) Hernandez (left) Lasogga. Would like to see roofe and alioski on if its not working, but IMO based on performances and match ratings, this is the best 11 we have, play them and drill it into them that that place could be theirs if they grind out results tomorrow and saturday. i'm ready for thechallenge of november an di think teams will be forgetting what capabilities we have shown already. Nobody should write us off until january, this is always a big month, and so crucial for us this time round. MOT

I agree about picking his best eleven and sticking with them, I feel TC is picking teams with the oppsition in mind. Pick the best 11 and let the opposition worry about us.
