    that bench is a joke, never going to compete with no back ups

    Yep, we got him from Man Utd I think

    Jacko left mid then with look man on the bench. Ffs

    No not really... You'd expect Foley to be on the Right of Midfield seeing that he can also play Right Back so will protect Solly whilst Ricky Holmes is left footed so he wont be going through the middle.

    He's not had as long a pre-season as the rest of the squad though... Least it gives us ONE option from the bench!!

    I'd imagine Lookman not starting is more tactical than anything. Playing two wingers away from home when your two centre mids are slow could mean we get overrun a little. Foley adds that extra protection to the defence.

    Either Lookman is off or they are protecting him from overplaying or from other interest (wishful thinking on the last two). Solid if not exciting 11 but the bench is very lightweight.

    No Ba on the bench.

    Greetings from Barbados to all Addicted. Looks like the 1st team will have to win it in the first half.

    He was off training and playing with England, he's had plenty of preseason. More than our keeper and backline, in terms of trading together!
  • FishCostaFortuneFishCostaFortune
    No disrespect to the players who are on the Bench, but that is not the sort of depth that will win you a league campaign.

    Don't know why they don't try him. Could get off to a real flyer.

    Not young enough.

    Worried that the lack of 'plan B' from the bench is going to hurt us ...
    Especially considering what looks like an over dependence on Holmes , ajose and Novak!

    Encouraged by this team, exception being RoJo - I hope I'm proved wrong about him. Maybe Pearce can nullify his ranting and keep him in check.
  • CharltonFan94CharltonFan94
    Not a bad team. Good front two, pretty solid defence. However, the midfield isn't great, looks too slow for a physical and demanding league. You need real legs in there.

    Our bench is very, very young.

    Surprised Lookman isn't starting.

    Welcome back League one (hopefully for a short period only) and great to have you back RM. Sorry to hear about your heart, hopefully the boys will not cause you too much stress over the next couple of months. COYR

    Lookman isn't playing cos Roly thinks he's already sold him! Shssssss ffs ;)
  • moleo88moleo88
    Not that im his biggest fan, but where is BA? Bench is embarrassing, hope to be proved wrong though.
  • BigRedEvilBigRedEvil
    Depressing team. That midfield looks so slow

    Evening all from Phuket, and all the best to RM. Sorry to hear your ticker's still playing up.

    We've had some young benches but there's normally been one or two oldies amongst the kids. Not this one!

    Hopefully Lookman's benched for a reason other than he may be off but with these owners who knows? A sniff of a few pounds and that's it.

  • addickfanaticaddickfanatic
    So we have the speed of dads army in the middle and daddy day care on the bench but overall the team doesn't look too bad. Just need about four more and some of the injured healing quicker than expected. Here's to a season of joy. Coyr
