Time for Brobbey to start against Chelsea?

We need to get the set right from the start. We didn't v UTD. and said the price. Regi will do this and give the lads a chance. Forest were 0 0 at half time yesterday and missed good chances.

They really should have scored at least a couple yesterday. Had much higher XG than Chelsea. Chelsea certainly aren’t invincible.

I just get Altidore vibes about him.

There’s no rhyme or reason for it, think it’s just Altisore PTSD.

Really hope I’m wrong but I fear he’s going to be a massive flop.

It’s an understandable concern but it’s very early days. He’s had an awful 12 months or so personally and is probably not quite match fit. Hopefully he’ll start showing what he can do soon.
 
I think if we go 5-3-2, I’d start him.

Him and Wilson up top.

Xhaka, Le Fee and Sadiki in midfield.

Then Reinaldo, Hume wing backs.

Alderete, Ballard and Nordi as a back three.

Set up to go long and hit them on break, challenge them to break that very strong back 5 down.

I’d do it.

This is what I'd go for away at Chelsea too. We need our 4 best defenders on the pitch and I think your back 4 is them. I massively prefer Talbi off the left but until we get a decent right winger (hopefully in January) I don't see how we can play him left.

Could start Mayenda right.
 
Le Bris (Or it might have been Speakman) said because Ajax play an attacking game, and we play more defensively, it's going to take time for Brobbey to get used to our style of play.

At the moment it's between Isidor and Mayenda for the striker role.

I'm sure Speakman also mentioned that we signed Brobbey more because he was available at the time Guiu was recalled by Chelsea, rather than him being top of our hit list.
 
352 / 532 v Chelsea

..................Roefs....................
...Mukiele..Ballard..Alderete...
Hume..........................Reinildo
.....Sadiki....Xhaka....Le Fee....

Subs:
Patterson
Geertruida O'9 Masuaku
Neil Rigg Talbi
Brobbey Adingra

Thought Traore was poor yesterday
 
Brobbey is behind Isidor and Mayenda for me. He needs to bide his time and take what chances he gets. Playing him for the sake of it isn't much use.

Isidor has been excellent and was dead unlucky yesterday. That shot he had in the second half is exactly why he is a threat, even when he's hardly had a kick of the ball. No reason to not play him at Chelsea.

It was Regis on Thursday, says Brobbey is getting better and getting used to our style of play. Isidor isnt getting dropped any time soon.

Isidor's control and finish yesterday was fantastic. Real shame he was offside but none of the players knew that and he still had a lot of work to do when he took the ball down.

As much as we all want to see what Brobbey can do Isidor has taken his opportunity to be the main man.

That was absolutely fantastic, world class goal.
Isidor deserves to start every game now, he's up there form wise and has the confidence to score from any angle with both feet. No reason to drop him.

For me Isidor isn't getting dropped anytime soon either, he's there to score goals, has 3 this season and was a whisker away from making it 4 on Saturday with a great finish just offside, he's done good so far.
 
Diallo said:
I’m currently 50/50 between him and Isidor. Feel we need someone physical up there to try and cause a bit of carnage, but at the same time Wilson is capable of grabbing a goal from nothing which could be key if we are looking at a potential smash and grab. Who we thinking?

Can't disagree. We haven't seen much of Brobby yet. I'd like to see him when we play a top team and have to be more direct. But Wilson is doing nicely (his offside goal was a proper finish). He also tracks back and his speed is vital in our high press. Not sure if Brobby can offer that. So not sure I'd change a winning team.

Glad RLB is making those decisions not us.

I agree, we should go with this next game.
If they'll be too tough to handle we could always drop Geertruida as a right wing back.
