Milan Aleksic - Confirmed

[BumbleBee]

Do you leave out browne

50/50 between Browne and Neil if I'm being honest. Neil had 1 or 2 iffy games so maybe is harsh on Browne but I think Neil on form does more.

I think he won't leave out Neil as captain yet , wouldn't be surprised if samed starts in tougher game like Boro mind

Hope he's fit.

Hope he's fit.

Haven't seen has he been playing pre season, do you think we will now have 3 cms on the bench

It was reported he picked up a psoas muscle injury just before he got here - might be mild and healed in a couple of weeks - if it looked like months I think we would have put it off.

I certainly hope that we have taller lads than that

If the 2 new lads are as good as people say then who makes way out of Jobe, Rigg, Browne and Neil if we stay 4 3 3.

Agree and from Neil, Rigg and Jobe at the minute Neil looks in 3rd place IMO.

Neil is the most complete of the three players. He has learned a new role for the benefit of the team and will stand him in good stead when/if he moves forward on the pitch.
I think you under value his ability as a footballer.

Having 3 of the best young CMs in the league and being able to supplement that with Browne, the Serbian Messi and a lad who’s played in the champions league is mental.

Lovely soft feet all over the gaff.

 

[parsonjohn1985]

Looks like forward thinking to me, if we don't get promoted, replacement for Bellingham or Rigg who possibly could be poached imo.

That plus they're still only 17 and 18 and may need a rest at some point. Rigg almost certainly will.

If you think he's better than Rigg, Jobe and Browne that's OK. I disagree and think he is possibly the most at risk.

 

[parsonjohn1985]

He was right wing back in a back 5. I'm all for giving our young players a chance, but I think Pembele is a bomb scare defensively. Even if we'd not loaned him out I'd prefer O'Nien right back and take our chances with Hjelde centre half.

Why would we play hjelde centre half when we signed mepham?

 

[woodlebert]

Aye apparently he’s completely fine there

He’s a centre back

Not entirely sure that will be the case TBH - we'll see.

 

[johnny kayo]

Jobe rigg and browne deserve the shirts at the minute, that might change but currently thats the 3

Only just, Rigg will be ahead of him by the end of the season

Almost smells like promotion

Going forward hopefully it becomes any 3 from 6

I wouldnt disagree. I'm in the Dan Neil camp and can't understand why he's not highly rated by all fans but we have great depth in midfield and those 3 were faultless in the last game so i would probably stick with the 3. I dont think we need these debates about player A being better than Player B. We have great options in there and all of them will get a lot of game time.

Let's agree to disagree. I think he is the glue which holds it altogether.
Brown is a very good footballer and is very beneficial to us when under pressure. Jobe has had a good start to the season, but needs to keep that type of consistency for the next ten games. Rigg looks incredible for his age, but we need him to learn his craft and not expect him to be the second coming of christ as so other topics appear to have labelled him.
After 23 games we will have a better idea of what each brings to the side.

Only just, Rigg will be ahead of him by the end of the season

At the trajectory Rigg has grown in the first 5 games I would not disagree.
The hope is that they all push each other as we did when first coming back to the Championship to push us up through the automatics.
There is a team there, we just need to support and they need to give everything.
