Paulo Bernardo

Game intelligence and reacting to things quickly is one of the best in our squad..

 

Should be starting instead of Engels. Better in almost every department right now.

 

Has to start the next game but feel like iv been saying that for weeks now. Hes too good to be on our bench. We are inhibiting his development by not giving him the game time he deserves

 

I like Engels but Bernardo should be starting on Wednesday. I think he is more mature in his game understanding.

Midfield is going to be key on Wednesday as it’s one of their strengths too. They have the experience of Vanaken and the youthful energy and abilities of Onyedika and Jashiri up against our experience and know how of McGregor, Creativity of Hatate and I just feel like having that know how and positional sense of Bernardo is a better fit than Engels for this one.

At the end of the day both will play a big part in the game but if it were me I would go Bernardo.

I suspect other than that the team that started at the weekend will go again. Personally I would go Valle over Taylor for his athleticism but if that was to happen he would have started or at least came on Saturday.

 

I'd be surprised if he started ahead of Engels on Wednesday, but if he doesn't I would expect him to get a start vs Ross County. He deserves a start but I suspect Engels will get the nod in the big games with Bernardo and McCowan getting more starts when the fixture congestion kicks in

 

I don't think he'll start midweek and for all he absolutely deserves a run of starts, I can see why he'd be better off the bench for this one..

His calmness and positional sense, as well as closing down the space and latching on to second balls will be vital as our 3 tire a bit. Feel like Engels coming on for Bernardo with a tiring Hatate and McGregor would actually be worse for us as right now, Engels positionally isn't quite there yet..
