Why do people always fill their team structures with attacking players? With that team just who is going to do the muck and nettles stuff when we don't have the ball? Why do you think Steve Bruce plays his son in midfield? Boyd will play in place of Koren or Meyler if he plays in midfield. He could play along side Simpson or Gedo or he could play wide in a 4-4-2. He will not be replacing Bruce or Evans or Quinn in the middle of the park.
One central midfielder? There's no way Quinn should be dropped.. he's fantastic - can't see how Boyd is going to fit in but I'm sure Bruce will have something up his sleeve.
So the opposition never have the ball if you play all attacking players? You wonder why we need a goalkeeper, then!
The team at the top is fantasy. Players like Quinn and Meyler are great gong forward, but they also do alot of the ugly work too. Stockdale Chester Hobbs Bruce Elmo Koren Meyler Quinn Brady Simpson Gedo SUBS Jaku Rosenior Stewart Cairney McShane Proschwitz Boyd
Wouldn't Fryatt be in the first 11?! We've no idea if Boyd will be the same player here than he was a boro (McLean) and even though Gedo has had a great start he can't be considered better than Matty yet surely?
Depends on the situation. Fully fit squad at the start of a season, perhaps not. Right now, with 3 goals in 3 and a Fryatt without a game in 6 months? Gedo for me.
