I was thinking specifically of yesterday, given that's been our starting XI for the last two games and is probably somewhere close to SSC's first choice. I think the only two players not starting yesterday who might have an argument for being in our best XI are Henderson and Williams - those are both very arguable given the quality of their replacements, and Leeds definitely don't have players in those positions I'd take over any of our guys.
Ok hypothetically speaking, and assuming the team for the last 2 games is our first XI (it isn’t) and based on how he played yesterday - Danilo. I thought he had a poor one v the arse even though he’s been generally ace.
Fucks sake can you people learn to just quote the post you are addressing your reply to (highlight it in your browser, press the quote button that appears underneath it). Like this....
It's a fair question. I think teams who are fighting at the lower end of the table are always going to have to adapt their matchday XI to the opponent, it's really only the top teams that get the luxury of sending out their best XI knowing that they're going to win man for man in this day and age. So for clubs like Forest, at least where we are now, we're always going to have some players who will rotate in and out of the starting XI based on who we're playing and how we're setting up to counter them. Brennan is absolutely a starter against some opponents, but against others - like Arsenal and Chelsea - he's perhaps not the right guy to be playing from the outset.
Speaking of which, I did find his cameo yesterday a shade disappointing. With his pace, coming on with 20 minutes to go defending a one goal lead against one of the best teams in the league, I feel like he wasn't closing down as hard as I might have liked him to. But maybe that's how he was told to play and make sure that he didn't leave space behind himself, and it's not for me to question the second best manager in club history.
I like the quote, in a quote, in a quote, in a quote thing, it saves me reading back loads.
But as has been said already it's fiddly to do from the mobile.
