Our starting XI (2 replies)
Lowe would keep things ticking over in the middle, getting the ball out to the wide players quickly before they're doubled up on. Ndoye and Kief would do the running up and down the pitch. Obviously those two aren't ideal players, but if they can lay the ball off to more talented players and stick to doing the dirty work they'll be fine.
Then Jota and Boga would both cut inside, linking up with Adams to form a little attacking triangle in the middle of the pitch. Their full backs would have to follow our wingers, leaving space for Colin and Bramall to get down the wings and put crosses in, with Ndoye and Kief getting into the box trying to get on the end of them.
This is similar to how we played it at Leeds, and it worked. I won't have it that this squad is a write off. It isn't perfect, but it's better than we're seeing at the moment.
Get Lowe in to keep the ball moving, or even put Dean there, and we will gradually improve.
