Ahh the old, “What is the formation” If we don’t have players in their natural positions then how can you expect to be successful. Also, how can you be successful when continually including Laurent? He simply doesn’t deserve a shirt. Wesley????? WTF Most of them are in their natural positions, only really left back that isn't. |

Looks like Wesley on his own again Why would he change a losing formula?? He will if losing to be fair A few subs and hope it works Hasn't yet though but law of averages he'll look tactically astute once |

From what's available, I'd go with:
Travers
Junior
Rose
Wilmot
Gooch
Pearson
Burger
Haks
Johnson
Leris
Wesley
A bit more steel.

Would’ve liked to see Lowe as he offers more mobility. Laurent I wish would just bugger off. Within the first ten minutes if Hoever messes up have the ball to bench him for Junior. Maybe would’ve preferred McNally over Rose. Other than that perhaps as good as we could hope for.

Can only see the goals going in one end, as toothless as a starting 11 as I could imagine, no goals anywhere but in the defence but they are going in our end!

I do feel for him with the lack of options up front I don’t I blame him. He’s left us well short Yes a couple of injuries but left us short |

Laurent instead of Burger. Rose instead of McNally. Ace. Burger was awful in a more, advanced role last week |

After last week I would agree he's not an advanced midfielder so he's competing with Pearson and although I'm not one of his greatest fans thinking he has his limitations I think Pearson has to be first choice. He'll be on a two match suspension soon and it will be then up to Burger to stake his claim. |

Laurent competes with Burger, Pearson with Thompson, Junho with Johnson.

Pearson being the real defensive midfielder with Burger slightly further up and picking the passes. |

Leris and Wesley as 2/3 of the front three just seems crazy. Screams Stoke 0 |

Given the defence yes we need two defensive midfielders Fair enough but I do think we get overrun in midfield with two sitting deep. Pearson is good at spotting danger and I'd much rather have Johnson in an advanced role than Burger deep |

I don't think he trusts Thompson as much as Pearson because he plays deeper. Pearson defends just outside their box quite often |

He's playing Johnson in the advanced role rather than Burger in a deeper role. From what I can see from that team the midfield three are Pearson, Laurent and Johnson with Haks and Leris playing wide of Wesley. |

We need to give Leris a chance, you can’t write him off after one mare in a new country. That's a foreign thought to some on here... |
