Montano oozes potential. A couple of his goals for Notts County were out of the top drawer and the boy impressed in pre season friendlies. Most importantly, he is a solution to the 4-3-3 dilemma because he is a natural on the left and has an eye for a goal. To accommodate him, Taylor would have to be moved back to left back or into centre midfield. My latest attempt to solve the selection conundrum would be:
Almunia
O'Brien, Tomkins, Faye, Taylor
Noble (or Diop)
Collison, Lansbury, Montano
Nolan
Carew (or Cole)
Subs: Faubert, Reid, Carew (or Cole), McCartney, Boffin

No baldock on the bench and linda has been solid at left back. agrre montano needs a chance would also like to see sears given another go.
Problem with a 5 man bench Billy. If I added two it would be Baldock and either Diop or Noble. The choices I have made allow change of shape / personnel if necessary in mid game. That means only one forward on the bench sadly.
I'd take out the (or Cole) bit, put Sam B on the bench and give Carew an hour on Saturday (scored for Norway midweek and looks entirely more effective than Cole). The bring Sam on for 30 minutes. We've paid £2m for this lad, who was also on fire for MK Dons, who also deserves a manager to show some faith in him and who, it worries me, is likely to become down-hearted if he is continually ignored.
I do wonder at times 'WTF did we actually buy the lad for?' - fan appeasement perhaps.
3 defenders on the bench, nice one
Hmmm. You don't know much do you? Faubert can play wide right and Taylor can move forward into midfield. Never mind, too complicated for you to work out obviously.
Faubert has been like a new signing this season. I'd start him over Collison who, in what game time he's had so far, has been very quiet.
Taylor was immense at left midfield when he played, but you would stick him at left back? I agree montano should be given a chance but I personally would keep Taylor at left mid and introduce montano later in the game.
You really do know nothing about football... he's at Swindon.
He wasn't when this was written. Which was it, KUMB or WHTID that ran a thread saying Montano would go straight into the team?
