With Jelavic on board and Long almost where do peopel think we will play Aluko when he is fit and at the expense of whom?

Could ask the same ? re Brady.
 
It's a tough one because I think Bruce will play Aluko over pretty much anyone I can't think of Aluko once being on the bench for us, going to be interesting to see what Bruce has in mind for Brady, Aluko, Sagbo, Long, and Jelavic that's for sure.
 
.................Mcgregor.

........Chester....Bruce....Davies.

Elmo...................................Brady.
..............Thudd....Livermore.

Aluko Long Brady

Jelavic

That'd be my forward line.

Can't see the point of playing long behind Jelavic when he has so much speed and harries defenses so aptly and can play on the shoulder of any defender and beat them for speed even if that drags him out of the middle.He can then supply Jelavic with a telling pass as Jelavic gets up to a dangerous central strike position.

That's what I'd expect to be SB's prefered first choice line up!

This is very much less defensive than we have been used to playing may leave us exposed?
 
I was thinking this earlier.

I kept thinking of a position, and then stopping because that means a vital player will miss out.

Do we go 3-5-2 and have him just in front of Huddlestone along Livermore in midfield and just behind the strikers? The 'Koren role' if you must.

Does he go in right midfield and replace Elmo?

Does he go upfront? Highly unlikely because I'm pretty sure Jelavic and Long are nailed on starters now.

Interesting.
 
Dont see that we have to start all 3.
Part of the problem has been that we dont have anything on the bench to change a game
