Given the new signings have had a bit of time to get to know the rest of the squad.. Walton Sollbauer Anderson Helik Ludwig Styles Mowatt Odour ‘The Fridge’ Woodrow Chappers subs Collins Simoes Ritz J. Williams Thomas Christie-Davies Halme It looks a decent team and not a bad bench
With all due respect I'll leave it to Herr Struber. He's done an amazing job so far. Luton is a banana skin in a way, due to the number of ex players.
With Browny now gone I would love to see Woodrow back up top and Simoes in the number 10 role. That lad has serious talent and given game time will go onto very big things.
I think the fridge will just step in to the role Brown had I also would leave the back 3 well alone. I think we will start with a similar lineup to the one that started against Forest with Frieser starting instead of Victor. Though I would like to see Simoes start and also Oduor starting ahead of Ritz. I dont expect Helik or Christie Davies to start but one thing about our manager is you can never be sure what team he will start with
I am sure you will be right as I also expect the fridge to start at the weekend,. However I personally would prefer to see Simoes start instead given the huge potential he has. I would not be shocked to see Helik start at the weekend as Struber seemed to talk fairly enthusiastically about him in his recent interview with Radio Sheff
With all due respect mate Helik has only been here a couple of days, so won't be ready for the first team squad this week. Same team as beat Forest last week, with Victor being replaced by any of Freiser, Thomas or Uduor.
I would go for something very similar to what we ended with - probably Frieser/Simoes for Brown as the only change.
Simoes is technically very good but i think he appears physically lightweight and needs to be more aggressive, but hopefully that will come in time.
Not sure he ever will bulk up much and become an aggressive type of player as its not part of his game. He needs to be more streetwise for this league to be able to evade defenders, but he is a flair player who uses his technical skills and pace to beat players much like a Benrahma etc.
I'd start Simoes at 10, with Woodrow and Chaplin up front. I think Ritz will start on the left again.
You could say the same of Odour if he plays full back in a 4. As a wing back he's fine. It's about finding the shape to get the best out of players. At first when Struber came in the formation was too rigid, but he's a clever man & lock down definitely helped him to look at the squad & reinvent things.
Replacing Browny`s work rate up front is going to be hard, hope he aint thinking of starting Schmidt.
