Team for Huddersfield?

[@jolslover]

So, Coming off the back of a disappointing Villa game, What would your team be for Huddersfield?

I would start Kalas ahead of Sigurdson if hes fit, If not I would have
Button, Odoi Madl Sigurdson Malone, Parker Johansen, Cairney Aluko Piazon, Martin

[TimoFFC]

If Ayite is fit I would start him IMO

[Southfield White]

Im not a fan of Sigurdsson, in fact im surprised hes not come in for any stick.

Yes hes new and still probably finding hes feet, but what ive seen so far, not impressed.

We need to set out with a purpose and attack Huddersfield.

Id bring Fredricks in , and say go give me a good 60 mins

GK position will be the interesting one although fully expect Button to keep his place

I think Button will keep his place because Bettinelli played for the 21s.
I dont think Fredericks should start, He only looks good when he comes on against tired defences he can run at. Good impact player but not defensively good enough to start imo.

 I'd go                         Betts
Fredericks.         Kalas.       Madl.            Sess
                             Tunni.        Parker
Aluko.                            Cairney.                 Ayite
                                       Martin

[J.Perkins]

Bettinelli

Fredericks Kalas Madl Sessegnon

Parker McDonald

Cairney Johansen Aluko

Martin

Whatever happens don't expect the unexpected.

Fortress Fulham has evolved into 'a walk in the park' for visiting teams.

Not so much the team selection,but who's gonna' be bothered to 'turn up on the day' if they are selected.

[MJG]

I would go

Betts (ok lets see if he is any better)

Odoi (fred better as an impact sub) Kalas - Siggurdson - Sess

Parker-Johansen

Ayite-Carney-Kebano

Martin

[Chutney]

I'd go                         Betts
Fredericks.         Kalas.       Madl.            Sess
                             Tunni.        Parker
Aluko.                            Cairney.                 Ayite
                                       Martin

I like the look of this team, genuine pace on both flanks

[gang]

I would still go for Button and cancel the plan that goalkeepers are also centre backs.

[filham]

I have no idea, they have all had a go and failed, Jocanovic has just about tried all permutations. Start with Parker as captain and then lots of throws of the dice to select the options for every other position.

[crazycottager]

I want us to experiment with our play, so i'd run:
Button
Sess/Fredericks Madl Kalas Siggurdson Odoi
Tunni Parker Aluko/Ayite/Cairney
Piazon/Aluko/Ayite/Cairney
Martin
or the 4-2-3-1 Ben has
My reasoning for the 5-3-1-1 is simple: Defense and Structure
We have great ability going forward, and i feel that by putting Odoi and Sess/Fredericks in an attacking formation, we can play with attacking width from the fullbacks, and they're covered by Siggurdson and Tunni when they bomb up and down the field. Piazon/Aluko/Cairney/Ayite tucks into that midfield trio in defence making a staunch 5-4-1, which is hard to break down with Parker and Tunni in that midfield. Attacking Cairney steps up with the full backs, making a sort of 3-4-3, or a 3-3-1-2. it's a little risky but it's unexpected and covers for our aggressive fullbacks.

Never going to happen but....

             Button
Odoi - Kalas - Sig - Sess
          McDonald
Kebano - Cairney - Ayite
        Martin - Aluko

Back in the days of Coleman, Melville, Symons and Morgs, I was fascinated by the business of playing three CBs. As one who played that position when there was only one of me I often wondered what they all found to do and how they didn't get in each other's way.

It's not something we've since gone in for in a big way. A few seasons back, under Kit, we put out Kav, Turner (remember him?), Hutch, Hoogland and Jazz. We got a draw out of that with McCormack and Smith up front.

12 years before that Coleman got a 1-0 win at Derby with a back 5 of: Finnan, Goma, Zat, Melville and Rufus. Hayles and Marlet were up front.

It's an old trick...but it might just work.

Very interesting that nobody has suggested staying with the Parker/McDonald combination, good choice!!

I think this point is one of those rare mark the calendar occasions where this forum is in agreement

Which one to retain and who to play with them is a whole different matter that I for one could make various different proposals and be equally happy with any

[Mince n Tatties]

Maik Taylor

Matty Lawrence
Chris Coleman
Mark Blake
Rufus Brevett

Neil Smith
Paul Bracewell
Peter Beardsley
Steve Hayward

Paul Peschisolido
Paul Moody.

Fulham 3-0.... 049:gif

[Mince n Tatties]

Would that team above beat present Huddersfield side?

[twang]

If everyone's fit, I'd like to see:

Bettinelli
Fredericks - Kalas - Sigurdsson - Malone
McDonald - Johansen
Cairney - Aluko - Ayité
Martin

[alfie]

A winning team would be nice
