Our XI if.....

[BeijingClaret]

we had kept all our players.
Only still active players so no Peter Crouch for example
Based off current ability so no Steven Defour

[DomBFC1882]

Danny ings a cert

Are we going to play them or rest them in case they are tired or get injured?

Ward on current ability?

ST - Ings - Wood

I agree with most of this

[jrgbfc]

Ward on current ability?

Yeah maybe not, wasn't really thinking there! Taylor obviously.

[ClaretTony]

I think it’s fair to say Ward is past his best now. What a signing he was though.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Good player was Ward but I’d go Taylor.

It was amazing how quickly Ward declined for us really.

This except I’d choose Brownhill over Hendrick, and perhaps Vydra over Wood - purely because that team will play on the ground more

[BeijingClaret]

I know he was only a loan but maybe Patrick Bamford off current ability

[Bullabill]

I thought this was about the Chinese President.

[DomBFC1882]

Great shout

[jdrobbo]

This thread certainly highlights that we tend to have a slow turnover of playing staff, which can be seen as good or bad.

Just had a nosy at Ward's stats for this season and he's played 20 times for Ipswich so must have stayed injury free.

Struggled in his last year here so good to see him injury free. I was totally underwhelmed when we signed him but he became a really good player for us.

[tiger76]

Off the top of my head, and on current form.

Pope
Tripps Keane Mee Taylor
Arfield Cork Westwood
Dwight
Bamford Ings

Surely even Burnley could score goals with that line-up.

[CrosspoolClarets]

A poster from Beijing starting a thread about Xi, I’m surprised that got through the firewall into the UK without misunderstanding

It reminds me of the tweet today from a guy from Salisbury - had his vaccine and made a joke about having a sore arm but he could now get 5G signals in Salisbury as a result. Just a joke. Twitter banned him for spreading fake news

[claptrappers_union]

I think I’d swap Mee for Keane, who’d partner Tarkowski. Other additions would be Trippier, Bamford and Ings.

[JohnMac]

Pope
Keane Tarkowski Mee
Trippier Taylor
Westwood Cork
