That's superb given the journey involved and the way pre-season has gone, Just hope the players acknowledge the fans and give it a reet good go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine he's had much of a pre-season at Bolton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke often played when not fully fit, I'd expect Wheater to do the same this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of at least 5 who were ahead of him as best player. Best bit part player maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejh45 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Having not seen any of the friendlies apart from dodgy high(low)lights so I cannot comment but what SHOULD our starting 11 be AND what WILL our starting 11 be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was decent for a spell under scholes but wouldn’t say that puts him as the best player all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clear up some confusion this point refers to the Forest Green game only when he came on second half and dragged us into the game.

OL9erlatic Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Quick question, not been to a friendly so was wondering are we likely to be 4-4-2 this season from what's games in pre-season or 3-5-2, trying to pass the day till clocking off and looking at the squad I think we'd suit 3-5-2 more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most the time we end up changing the formation by half time, you need a good quality wing back for the formation to work, don’t believe we have that. Anyways, it will be a 4-2-3-1 formation with Vera up top on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, was having a thought while wishing 4 o'clock on whilst undercoating some skirting, id have thought Lacovitti is more suited to a cb role and can see Hamer turning to a cb in the future and with Wheater in the middle looks a decent back 3, have we signed another lb this summer or is Lacovitti our likely starter? apologise if already been mentioned I don't have a clue who any of these incoming are barring Wheater over the last 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's IACOVITTI. In answer to the LB question, it's either him, Stott or Swabey-Neavin until Smith-Brown is available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
