wormy Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It's not a whinge as such as I'm still buzzing for the season ahead under proper management. However.. I can't deny there's something a little underwhelming about seeing our first team sheet of the season and it being an XI we could already put out at the end of last season, sans 'keeper.

Guest reefatoon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Good strong team out. Holding Botman back will hopefully have the same effect that it had on Bruno. He’ll get his time. Can’t wait for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Would have gone for Dubravka and Botman over Pope and Burn but otherwise that’s our strongest possible lineup. We actually have options now it’s mental. Hope we really kick off this season with a bang. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Why no Ritchie at left back? Edited August 6, 2022 by nortoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitude20 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 With 5 subs, I can totally see Botman come in second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Botman will understand, if not, Bruno can tell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Tbf, Burn and Schar did very well defensivley last season, they probably deserve to hold their spots until one of them gives a reason to be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 not really sure why easing in is a concern what is the whole point of preseason if not to ease them in, but is harsh to break up the partnership and maybe howe thinks botman will benefit from watching at first.

nortoon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Very happy with that team, if Howe wants to do a bit of Bruno and let Botman settle in slowly i trust him to know better than me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Could also be tactical as to why Burn and Schar are the favored duo, and not Botman. We have 3 quality CB's this season that offer different things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
