So formation today lads are we expecting any surprises?
I'm going 4-2-3-1.
Pickford
Rohl-Tarks-Branthwaite-Micky (would prefer Aznou)
Hackney-Armstrong
Ndiaye-KDH-George
Barry
Would love to be proved wrong and see us go more attacking maybe 4-1-4-1 but can't see Moyes being that brave.

Was hoping Norgaard might start..
Looking forward to visiting the stadium and seeing our new setup. Just need GB to predict 3-0 to us and for it to come true.

3-0 it is, mate. Have a brilliant afternoon. Am I jealous or what.

Think you are probably spot on.
Would also like to see Norgaard get some decent minutes.
Question I have at this moment is, assuming everyone is fit - who is our midfield 3?
Armstrong has been the stand out of pre season for me personally, but when Garner is back I worry he won't get a look in, which would be criminal.
If anything I'd prefer him over KDH in games where we need to break teams down etc.

Not a bad shout at all, EFCONE. I think KDH is effective, and not slating him, but I think he is very poor with his passing and touches in tight areas. Thought it all last season, even when he was slotting the goals in.
I certainly wouldn't guarantee him a starting spot, which I think he all but has under Moyes.
Harrison is going to be a great player, especially when he fills out a bit more and adds to his frame - reminds me of a young Gerrard.

Nice to see we have competition for places now. Agree Harrison and Hackney could be a pair in that midfield for years to come.
