Even though we have a few injuries, still reckon Hughes is gonna have a bit of a headache re: selection. Will it be 4-4-2? Or pack out the midfield? Play safe and go for a draw or try and get that elusive first win? If I was in the hot seat, this would be my starting XI: Cesar Bosingwa Nelson Hill Onohua SWP Faurlin Granero Hoilett Taarabt Cisse Subs: Park, Zamora, Green etc
Onouha is not a LB. Adel is carrying an injury and Cisse is not great as a lone front man. Can't see this team mate. Park is also our captain and his work rate will be important away from home
I like your team more than most others I see on here Newbury,and much more than I think Hughes will play because you include more attacking threats. I agree we shouldn't be going out 95% focused on defending, we need to be far more positive. I'd leave out SWP from your team and play Park, but centrally in midfield with Adel if fit, and Hoillet wide in a 5 man midfield. If Adel isn't fit I'd have Cisse wide in midfield and Zamora up front. I'd have Onouha at CB, and Dyer at LB, keeping Bosingwa in his best position. With Park, Granero and Ale in central mid, this should give our back 4 enough cover.
