Also no way Archibald will be playing anytime soon so swap him out for O'Neill
And will Graham be ready to play ?

It looks like Graham was taking part in todays training.

You’ve still got the CBs wrong!

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Obeiro starting based on current squad.

Which bit?

Admittedly sticking my neck out with Zec, but can't see Simpson and Cooper both starting.

The cb's. I get the feeling Richie isn't a big fan of Happe and Beckles due to their proclivity to making mistakes

Seemed to like Happe and Beckles when they went 5 matches without conceding at the beginning of the year. I would be surprised If Happe doesn't start.

Posted: **Thu Jul 18, 2024 7:41 am**

Happe will obviously start.

Richie bangs on about Happe non stop. I’d say Simpson and Happe will start but think they are both left footed so maybe not. It will be Happe and someone

Posted: **Thu Jul 18, 2024 9:30 am**

Happe and Simpson are the players capable of playing the ball out of defence, Beckles and Cooper are the players that can handle the physical stuff. If all fit, it'll be one of the first two, one of the second two. Simpson looked quality on the ball but didn't play many games so hard to tell how good a defender he'll be.

IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Most centre half pairings are two right footers. No one bangs on about that.

For what it's worth, I reckon he'll start with Happe and Beckles but can see Becks dropping out after his first brainfart 2 or 3 games in. Simpson is by far the best on the ball but looked slow last season (understandably) and not as strong and commanding as someone his size should be.

It's a lovely problem to have.

Someone mentioned wingbacks were used the other night to get Kelman in the starting team with Agyei. That may be the way to go with the players available to us...

Calm down dear. I don’t care about what foot they use but in the past Richie has said he likes a left footer and a right footer at CB and who he’s played/bought in confirms that.

Posted: **Thu Jul 18, 2024 2:19 pm**

It was Richie talking nonsense when he was justifying leaving Ogie out, or persisting with Turns or McCarthorse, something like that.

He knows full well it doesn't make bugger all difference.

James ahead of Sweeney at LB imo

James ahead of Sweeney, definitely.

First choice against arsenal

Why wouldn't we have signed a left back (which I do think we will) , or a back up right back, if he wants TJ in the team. TJ at left back makes no sense

Posted: **Sun Jul 21, 2024 10:30 pm**

I did notice that…..

Richie will be hoping this signing is the kick up the bum TK needs to consistently perform at the level he can play at.

TJ at left back makes more sense than Sweeney.
