I have created a link on the Wycombe board in the hope that some of those guys (decent lads too) will drop in at some point
I am feeling a lot more confident following the midweek win. Previously I was thinking a scraped 1-0 win but if the confidence of the team is rising, then perhaps 2, 3 or an outside chance of more. Much will depend on how well their defence can cope with our attack, assuming they will line up as many will do this season, to stifle our play. I don't know if Gareth Ainsworth sets his teams up that way or if he always looks to try and dictate the play. Wycombe have, so far, found it hard to score goals (just one, from a defensive error I believe) and we know how dodgy our defence can be at times so there is no room for complacency here.
Like it,like it. Plenty on here will not like Mario starting. Hugill over Pukki would be my only change
If that is true I would not really understand why. If DF is looking to find a role for him play more often, this would appear to be a very good game to try something out - if indeed he is thinking along those lines. Mario has got a lot to offer besides his free-kicks and long-range shots. Exactly what role that would be, I am not really sure and I guess that why some people would prefer him to not start, but be an impact sub in some capacity.
Hi folks. I really don't give our team much hope; but surely we must win a game at some point, mustn't we? The bookies clearly think we won't win a game all season The new big striker we signed this season hasn't played in the league so far and hasn't been on the bench either. At the moment we don't seem to have anyone capable of scoring, although we were robbed of a perfectly good goal against Millwall when it was 1-1 (Oh for VAR) All I can say is may the best team lose on this occasion I hope it isn't too embarrassing for us.
What's the deal with this striker then Ron? is he unfit or perhaps something going on behind the scenes (as unlikely as that seems) that you are not aware of?
It's not looking good at Wycombe at the moment after Norwich on Saturday we have Watford at home which will mean we have played five of the current top eight in the Championship. Which is a hell of a baptism of fire.
That's how it was for us last season in the EPL, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City in the first five. Take heart, we caused a huge upset by beating Man City!
I wouldn't start Vrancic as I think we have better options and I'm not convinced that he has the legs to last a whole game. I'd much rather he came on later in the game when the other team are tiring. I have nothing against Vrancic and am more than happy to have him in the squad, just not the starting 11.
Can't agree. Would rather have Mario on the park for 70+mins than20mins at the end,when we are chasing the game. With Mario in No10 roll and Todd and Bendy either side of him that is by far are most talented set up. By the way,I am not Mario's dad or agent
Me too. If he can score / assist / create good opportunities it will most likely be earlier on while the game is nice and open and he can use the spaces. Towards the end it can become congested, stodgy, and hard to break the oppo down. Let him help get us a 2 goal cushion then replace him if need be.
Those three may be "our most talented set up"; the more important question is whether they are the most effective one.
Kieron Dowell is probably our first choice #10 , Stiepermann second and possibly Cantwell 3rd choice. Vrancic is a good player but often gets muscled out of games and fades towards the end. I would be more than happy for him to start but that would be with the intention of bringing him off towards the end , not sure he would have the engine to play 90 mins twice a week in this physical league. If he starts and creates or scores then great but Farke is building a squad for the future and at 32 this is probably his last season .
Stiepermann still being unavailable presents an opportunity for Vrancic to play, which I'd rather see than another 80 mins of Pukki in a second striker role behind Hugill. If we want Pukki back to his best, play him where he's best and play to his strengths not Hugill's.
What do you base your opinion on Dowell being 1st choice? Only 2 appearances in league? Surely not enough to make him 1st choice !
