Lee Charnley Posted August 16, 2024 Share Posted August 16, 2024 I'd start Gordon right and Barnes left. Why you may ask? Gordon is the one who delivers into the box the most, has the most progressive carries and you could argue that delivery from the right side may be better better as a cross is harder harder to defend when swinging in and also easier for forward players to get power on when heading. That and Barnes is excellent at finishing it would make sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Aye newly promoted club who give us some nervy moments in 2nd leg of cup semi, will be better than people think and defensively think we might look vulnerable due to lack of pace.
