Team tomorrow

[Colin Warnek]

People posting teams without Bolasie starting obviously don't know our manager. This might be the lineup but Bolasie will start thru the middle before Fletcher.

That was the first time I've seen Bolasie play through the middle in his career. I think it was done as we were going a bit defensively against the league leaders away and to get Bolasie up to speed. I think we'll see him on the wing in future, could be wrong though.

Fry hasn't been training apparently, so we're possibly short defensively.

It’s in the gazette that he’s a doubt with a calf injury

 

[BoroMart]

Don’t see fletcher starting as he wasn’t considered fit enough for bench last match. Think he’s a good few weeks away yet.

I've just seen that we have an U23 game on Sunday and NW wants to play both Hall and Fletcher for 90 in that before considering to start them. That's a concern for tomorrow as we really are short, unless Dijksteel is fit for CB?

I think Fry will be fine tbh. If not he'll probably put Bola CB. Is Dijksteel fit?

It's difficult to call, with 3 new attackers available and Fletcher closer to fitness, there are a lot of options. I also think Watmore has been held back since his covid experience.

Even though it's a tough game I would expect 1 of Kebano, Bolasie and Mendez-Laing to start. Kebano has only had one training session, so would expect him on the bench. Mendez-Laing hasn't been training professionally for 6 months so will probably be on the bench, so Bolasie will get the nod for me.

................Betenelli
Fisher....Fry.....McNair.......Bola
....Howson...Morsy...Saville
Watmore.....Fletcher.....Bolasie

I like this or think Neil will go for this team and bring on Mendez and kebano together in the 2nd half for either watmore, bolasie and/or fletcher. Equally Neil could go for Britt rather than fletcher down the middle. that wouldn't surprise me because Britt is now playing for a contract either here or somewhere else. huge motivation for britt. His future basically which always focusses the mind and body.

Dael Fry is out. But the rest of it looks good. I wonder if even Britt might feature to get hold of any Kebano crosses.

Fry injured. Dijksteel only just back to some kind of training. Still out also.
Interesting to see if Grant Hall will start.

Reading Warnock's team news comments I think there is big chance Kebano will start tomorrow but sounds like Hall and Fletcher will not be quite ready, but maybe next week by the sounds of it, actually Kebano sounds quite exciting hopefully he will improve the attacking options

The defence is going to be interesting tomorow. Who will stand in for Dael Fry if Dijksteel is likely to be still out?

 

[Maccarone]

Blocks team for me get all 3 DRC lads together

 

[Beverleyred]

Blocks team for me get all 3 DRC lads together

4 if you count Marc Bola !

 

[Yearbyred]

Bola might be at centre half if Fry and Hall aren’t fit which would mean Johnson at LB?

Don't think fletcher is ready to start yet if he was I'd start him over Britt but lets give Britt a chance now he has players who can give him service.
Mendez Laing from what I have read may need a couple of weeks to get up to speed.

Fletcher (and Hall) pencilled in for under 23s, so don't think he'll start
Fry doubtful too apparently
Mendez not played in a while, so may need a bit of time - though Bolasie hadn't either


So think that might be close to the team, but not sure what happens if Fry is out(especially if Dijksteel not ready)

 

[rob_fmttm]

Mendez-Laing hasnt kicked a ball though. His training has been personal fitness.
Of course Warnock might easily have planted one of these stories about players not being availanle.
Joe Nicholson Hartlepool Mail got the most detail about injuries.
But he did say a couple of times he hoped Dael Fry would be fit to face Derby

 

[uncle_rico]

I think Hall will play. He was due to play 90 mins with on Sunday with Fletcher so I think he’ll be ready.

I think Britt will start too, I think there will be an emphasis on the DRC lads. Maybe see a front line of Britt, Kebano And Bolasie.

Yeah it does depend on Fry's fitness be interesting to see. maybe swap Kabano & Watmore around from what I have noticed about Watmore he doesn't mind working back in. The main thing for me &something that has been sadly lacking the past few years is someone to provide service to the strikers.

Its going to be interesting today
