Steffan
Dijksteel Lenihan McNair
Jones Crooks Hows Mowatt Giles
Muniz Akpom (if hes available, Forss if not)

Has to be Dijksteel at RCB for me. That jink past the Stoke midfield was exactly the sort of thing missing vs Reading. Our attacks come down the wings and Dijksteel + Crooks is what works for Jones so that's the right hand side for me.

Left side I'm less certain about who pairs best with Giles. Wouldn't mind at all if McGree was in instead of Mowatt, or Bola instead of McNair. More flexible there at this point until someone nails down a place.

Up front Muniz has to start. And in my opinion it has to be two out and out forwards. Again all our attacking play is down the sides, so as much as McGree playing up top and dropping in to midfield can help us control a game, I think to start with we need two+ targets for the wingers to aim at.

Lenihan over Fry as CB just because he's the managers choice. I don't really have a preference either way on that. Two great options to have.
 
If Clarke is signed which seems a real possibility now could we see the following?

Steffen

McNair
Lenihan
Clarke

Jones
Crooks
Howson
Mowatt
Giles

Muniz
Watmore/Forss
I like the look of that but won't be too disappointed if McNair starts at LCB and Djiksteel on the right for now.

I suppose it depends on how involved Clarke was in pre-season and training, might still be slightly short fitness.

That would be my team too if he's ready.

Yeah would be happy with that is Clarke is short for fitness, will be interesting to see if he’s ready to play or not.

That probably should be our first Choice 11 only forss will probably change when we bring Larsen in
 
--------------Steffen
----Dijk-----Lenihan-----Bola
-------------Howson
Jones---Crooks-- Mowatt---Giles
----------Muniz----Forss

Clarke won't play after only 1-2 days training, can't see him bringing a new player in at the back that quick.
Muniz will probably play, playing up front is playing up front, he'll know what to do.

Think we'll win by two clear goals at least, and we'll finally get a bit of luck at the back and keep a clean sheet.
