Your ideal starting line-up

[Saint Fan CaM]

This is mine… 4231

           McCarthy / Baz

Mads. Woods. Stephens. Welington.

      Charles.  Romeu (c).

Fellows. Azaz / Jander. Scienza.

              AA.

Notes:

* GK makes little difference - both have their up and downsides

* Obvs if Stewart was fit he would be CF

* A little unsure who would click best out of Azaz and Jander - tending towards Jander who has better movement.

* Romeu partner / sub - should be Downes, but I don’t trust him…bad egg…could be Jander dropping back to give way for Azaz.

This. Could play Robinson instead of Jander if wanted to be a bit more attacking.

Agree or bring him on to replace Fellows when oppo defence is tiring. I like Jander but he needs to get back to playing on the half turn as he did when he arrived - that seems to have been replaced by back to goal simple passing now.

Would be interesting to see Charles in a proper box-to-box role as he is one of our few progressive passers. Not seen that enough from Jander yet and it’s definitely not Romeu/Downes game. 

I feel like the three of them together would be a bit overkill and we really need to try to play Azaz into form.

I’m surprised so many of you are selecting THB - he’d be my 5th choice centre back.

Ah forgot Jelert as he’s injured - yes definitely him over Mads, although defensively there’s not a big difference perhaps.

He can be great at this level, he has been before. I don’t think the system helps any of them, they get in each others way and leave responsibility to each other. We should have really healthy competition for a partnership with Wood in a back 4

Agree with this line up.  Jelert and Wellington are our best full backs.

[saintant]

Unsurprisingly no one has gone for 3 centre backs so far. A small sample to be sure but quite telling.
