Team vs Norwich

I'd go

Daniels
Dalsgaard Mephem Konsa Odubajo
McEachran Macleod
Clarke Judge Benrahma
Maupay
 

Team vs Norwich

defo not bentley.....daniels should never have lost his place after the leeds game anyway which was poor management imho, he was in pole position and it was his position to lose,,,,,,,,,the rest is a bit of a lottery at the moment though.....god knows who should start in midfield
 

Team vs Norwich

Daniels plus 10.

I would rather have Bonham, but that’s not an option.
 

Team vs Norwich

I wonder if Josh Dasilva will be available after more minutes in B team today. He can't be any worse than anything else we have available in midfield.

By all accounts played very well plus scored the goal in an entertaining 1-0 victory

Watkins no where near the starting 11 please. Hes made my blood boil the last few games,

Mepham in for Barbet and Josh back in please.

I’m going to agree with northampton until we sign a playmaker or sawyers gets back to his brilliant self

Struggling with this after tonight, to be honest.

I’ll leave it to TF.

How people are picking Yennaris in front of Sawyers is beyond me tbh! I would go for:

Bentley (sure it is close but he was very good Saturday)
Dalsgaard (it would not be if JC was fit) Konsa Mepham Barbet
Josh Mc Sawyers Kamo
Canos Maupay Said
 

Team vs Norwich

Daniels
Odubajo
Mepham
Konsa

Mokotjo
Sawyers
MacEachran
Canos
Benrahma

Simply cannot start Watkins in his present form so Said has to come into the team - hoping that DaSilva might make the bench after 90 mins last night whilst Rico is probably going to have to wait until after the next international break to figure. Although Dan made some smart saves last night he also is costing us goals through errors still so Daniels needs to start IMHO

Caveat that Sawyers needs seriously step up and start putting in performances at the level of last year. If there was a better replacement I'd have them instead but I don't think there is until Marcondes is ready.

Totally agree, not the best decision Franks made, showed a sign of weakness by bringing back Bentley.

:imwith: I’d go for this but I hope DaSilva is on the bench and gets on at some point. There’s not much goal scoring potential in that midfield three but we lack options at the moment.
 

Team vs Norwich

Amazed the number of people wanting Daniels back in! If I look back to the team v B City thread I cannot find one person who thought Daniels should have kept his place. And now after two matches (one of which he played very well) there's a clamour for Bentley to be dropped again!

Even if he made a couple of mistakes last night (and I actually don't think he did, by the way) I struggle to see how it helps the team to keep chopping and changing the 'keeper every couple of games.

In terms of starting XI, Island Bee has got it right I think. Watkins needs a rest and hopefully can get his form back by making an impact from the bench.

You don’t think picking up a blatant back pass was a mistake?

Looking at the replay it's easy to see how he might have thought it was kicked by their man instead. This is fairly obviously what happened as there's no way he picks it up otherwise.

If it was blatant (to him) he wouldn't have picked it up! He must have seen it as coming off the Preston player - I guess you could call it a mistake but personally I wouldn't drop him for that!

I was sitting behind the goal directly behind Bentley and it was the most obvious back pass from Kamo that your ever see , not even debatable ! I could not believe what I was watching !

He wasn’t paying attention if it wasn’t blatant to him. I wouldn’t drop a keeper after one mistake either but it’s not been one mistake this season, it’s been 6 or 7.

Bentley's error (again)

Needs to be dropped for SEVERAL games. I was on the 'red button' and I assumed he would kick it clear. Too many errors this season.

Yep clear as day from SKY that it was a backpass - I assumed it was a complete brainfart when he picked it up as it was so obvious

Sawyers took them apart last season and he will definitely start
 

Team vs Norwich

That was last season, this season no goals and no assists, however he keeps getting starts slightly puzzling be there we go.

He has more than enough credit in the bank, this is his only dip in form in his Bees career. Plus we don’t really have anyone else.

Credit in the bank what does that mean? 14 games in and doesn’t appear to have much credit this season.

Put another way......the only other player we have fit that suits the attacking midfield role is MacLeod and he's arguably been even worse than Sawyers!
Until Marcondes is fit Sawyers is likely to keep getting starts even if he has been poor most of the season.

Apart from first 12 games or so. Credit in the bank means nothing to us. He just needs to deliver.

Now Kamo is proving himself in holding role i would consider replacing Sawyers with McEachran for a game or two. He played that position perfectly at QPR. Just to give Sawyers a rest who is still one of my fav players btw

And very much should do! Fortunately, I expect his merits are understood within the club even if there are some on here who seem to struggle seeing them.

Totally agree, that is why Daniels shouldn't have been dropped in the first place. Bentley has been Dire all season, he worries me every time the ball goes near him.

certainly need more assists but I wonder how many key passes he's made
 

Team vs Norwich


To be fair I'd forgotten about him (sorry Alan!). Suppose you're right it's possible he could do this but I think he'd need to have heavy instruction before hand, on not leaving us over-exposed in the middle and not drift into the corners too often, and leave the wingers to do that. If we play McE, Kamo, and Sawyers ahead this weekend and he's still not raised his game, then it may be worth a go.

Had a very good game against Bristol City.. Daniels worries me every time a cross comes in...

And Bentley doesn't ? The trouble is Bentley is bringing a bigger list of errors to the table at the mo although they share that particular one.
 

Team vs Norwich

I have been wanting Watkins dropped for a while, but now I am not so sure. He was delighted to score against Preston. I also think he improved following that goal. He held the ball well and his pasising improved. It's what I have been waiting for, I don't think I would drop him. I would also keep Bentley just because Mepham will be back.
