Robinson

If the starting team yesterday was the starting team against Leeds how come Robinson was left out? Surely he should start before Ojo. Personally I would put Robinson wide left and Grant up top. When Collins is fit I would put O’Dowda in front of him on the left and Robinson on the right.
My best team with everyone fit:
Allsopp
Ng. McGuinness. New player Collins
Wintle. Adams/Ralls
Robinson. Ramsey. O’Dowda
Grant
By the way I note Bagan was not involved. Surely this means he will be gone.

Looks good to me.

No Goutas? - has done well in the friendlies.

Collins isn’t ready yet imho.

We play better with these players with ralls and Robinson. So for me the back 4 picks itself with Odowda there

Ralls. Wintle
Ramsey

Grant and Robinson.

The other position up for grabs is that wide or up top spot in tbr front 3 for me.

If Collins were ready I’d have Odowda there based on current form and bagan hasn’t played much.

Almost there.

Ralls over Adams. And definitely Goutas in.

Grant central and Robinson left.

I think the Gaffer will go this way to start if all are fit and no further additions to the squad.

Allsopp
Ng. McGuinness. Goutas O'Dowda
Wintle. Ralls
Matie. Ramsey. Grant
Ugbo

Swap Ugbo for Robinson and I'd be happy with that.

Apologies. I did mean Goutas. Had a brain freeze and couldn’t remember his name.

If CR7 (Robinson) doesn't start against Leeds there's something very wrong. He's currently our most talented, creative and dangerous forward - followed by Grant probably.

Has to be imo:

Allsop
NG Goutas McGuiness Collins
Ralls Adams
Ramsey
O’Dowda Robinson Grant

Robinson looks very good playing as the central striker, rather than outside.
Grant has looked very good out wide in preseason, and looks to be linking well with Robinson, and Ramsey.
Then the other space is for O’Dowda. He’s wasted at left back, and overlapping. It also leaves a space behind. Put O’Dowda wide right and let him run at the fullback.
