estonpidge 1,442 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 DS, I think Clayton may surprise us as the 6, as for George if he misses the start of the season, with one of the Kids performing well he will struggle to displace him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
nunthorpered 1,920 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Clayton was on the list of players to sell at the beginning of pre season but i think woody has him in his plans now. Link to post Share on other sites

Friend and Clayton tbh I would not miss either of them but part of me feels Clayton could become more proactive under Woodgate. George I feel has had his day and can not see us getting too much out of him. I think they will both be in the first XI as it stands 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think anyone would argue too much about the expected XI at this moment in time being: Randolph Howson Fry Ayala Friend Wing Clayton Saville Tavernier Assombalonga Braithwaite There's really only Fletcher for Tav and possibly McNair for Saville that may come into question there, the rest of the team picks itself.

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I think George will start, he’s captain and Still the best fullback at the club he came top in the preseason bleep tests, He’ll be playing, alright and rightly so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
