Lineups
I believe every player is going to play their part this year, and there will obviously be a variety of lineups used. I know there have been various comments on desired lineups on other threads, but I wanted to start a thread to ask that question. What is a lineup you would like to see tried to try and unlock these L1 defenses?
For me, I would love to see (once injuries permit) a midfield of Freeman, Morris and Saunders, with a front three of Tyson and PCH on the wings, with Kashket in the middle. This attacking side of the lineup might lack a bit of height, but I fancy there would be some guile and speed that would ask some serious questions. I do believe Morris is going to be important this first half of the season, having clearly showed he has the quality with Shrewsbury last season.
To be clear, I think Bayo is going to be vital this season, and will start hitting the target. I also think Bloomfield and Bean (who seem villified in some quarters) will see their fair share of action. But I would like to see what this attacking lineup could achieve, especially if our opponents had spent all week preparing for the high ball and flick-ons, only to find themselves on their heels from direct running and clever passing.

You want to add pace to the side and yet you suggest leaving out by far our quickest player in Williams!
Fair point, but I still rate both Tyson and PCH above him currently, though he has impressed.
