[Jinky]

Don't believe you...

Genuinely!

I've seen his name bandied around on here a fair few times but have never (knowingly) come across his content.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Could we be set for our first ever XI in a league game with no English players coming soon?

Coady started every single game in 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22 barring Southampton at home in 2020 (he had Covid) but Kilman played.

Kilman in turn started every single game in 2022/23 and 2023/24 bar Everton at home in 2023, and Bentley and Dawson played.

You could easily see us lining up in an early season game with:

----------------------------Sa (POR)-------------------------

Semedo (POR)-------Mosquera (COL) ----Toti (POR)----Ait-Nouri (ALG)

-----------------Lemina (GAB)-----J Gomes (BRA)------------------

-----------R Gomes (POR)----Cunha (BRA)-----Neto (POR)---------

--------------------------Strand Larsen (NOR)--------------------------

Or have I missed one somewhere where it's already happened (I don't think I have?)

I think that will be our line up for the first game*

* if there are no more ins outs. Obviously Neto is unlikely to be here and hopefully we bring in a starting/premier league ready CB

Semedo is banned for the first 3.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Semedo is banned for the first 3.

You know, I'd forgotten all about that.

But we still are very unlikely to have an Englishman at RB unless Daws wants to pretend it's 2012 again and Stuart Pearce is his manager at the Olympics.

I think it might be:

Mosquera - Dawson - Toti - RAN

It can't be Doc and GoN has already said we need to be patient with Lima.

 

[Carrotdude]

The fact it’s Arsenal away makes it even less likely he throws Lima straight in

Doc made his debut at Anfield

(When he was about three stone lighter)

Yeah, probably, I'm just getting giddy cos of Gomes performances so far, it'll be Hwang.
I'd forgotten about Semedo.

 

[Deano]

Doherty will play unfortunately

 

[sycophantia]

Doherty will play unfortunately

Unfortunately I think you're right.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

There'll be a few very isolated games in the first halves of 2015/16 and 2016/17 where Doherty played at RB in a back four. Not very many though as he was at LB from December onwards after we sold Golbourne in the first of those seasons (and barely played before that) and he swapped around with Iorfa and Coady in the second before Coads took it pretty much permanently under Lambert. Otherwise he hasn't done it at club level since 2014/15, and after Christmas in that season he didn't start many. He wasn't even our regular RB in League One in 2013/14.

With good cause, he is a fucking terrible RB.

 

[Lycan]

Yeah, it'll be Doherty for the first one at least. Hopefully Lima gets some game time in those first 3 though.

When will we enter into the League Cup?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Round Two so it'll be late August, between the Chelsea and Forest games

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

There is literally no good reason to pick Matt Doherty btw. Fuck his "experience". Experience of what?

It'll be 60min in the first game if Doc starts against arsenal

 

[Lycan]

Will that count as one of Semedo's 3 game ban?

If it does I imagine it'll be Doherty starting vs Arsenal & Chelsea and Lima in the cup.

Normally I'd agree but protecting Lima is a genuine reason this time around.

Yep, so Nelson should be available for Forest away

 

[Tony Towner]

Wouldn't surprise me with the opposition and the lack of Semedo to see us start with a 3. Toti and Mosquera either side of Dawson
