Agreed, but I don't have Benda in that line-up because Martin won't choose him as No. 1 goalkeeper. The good news is Fisher is improving. It seems he has more confidence than last season.
Leaving out Naughton is ballsy
I rate Wood. It seems we have a real gem there, and I want Cabango in the middle of the back three. I don't think we would've conceded to Rotherham had Cabango been there instead of Naughton.
I would swap Grimes and Fulton
Nope. Fulton is needed up front. He can score, he is good in the air.
Grimes can score only from distance and only once from 35678 shots. He is better in the defensive midfield.
I would have Congreve ahead of Paterson ... but that's me.
Yeah, that's you. Why not Congreve for Ntcham?
You might be expecting too much defensively from Paterson and N'tcham especially out wide. They could get exploited badly.
That's a risk, but Fulton and Allen can drop down to help Darling, Cabango and Wood. Also, with the above line-up we don't need to push our back-line so high. Cabango will be in the middle of the back three to defend crosses, Wood has a lot of pace, Darling is not too slow either.
But we'll always be vulnerable to counter-attacking football. We have to accept that as long as we play possession based football.
