Carey for me is always one of the first names on the team sheet, but in my opinion lameiras will also be one of those players for the coming season. We all know Carey can float and go to the wings, we all know he's better playing through the middle just like lameiras. Soo... where do they both fit into this new team of ours?

Where do the two fit. (Carey & Lameiras)

From an attacking perspective Lameiras, Carey and Ainsworth behind a striker would be very fluid. Provided they didn't all try to take the central role it would work. Carey has looked good wide right and may find eh gets more space out there.
Not sur how much defensive work you'd get out of those theee though. Guess that's where Jervis comes in.

I think Lameiras could fit out wide in games at home where we need that extra guile & creativity to break down a defence that's here to dig in and sit deep.
More importantly, throughout the winter last season GC was carrying a knee problem but played through the pain every game. We shouldn't need to do that. Having a direct replacement is a great addition to the squad so that GC can play less minutes and stay fresher.

Can see us playing quite narrow this season, utilising the wings from the bench if needed. Jervis does not have a defensive bone in his body, so we'd may as well play 4231 with the 3 mentioned above behind Taylor. The full backs will provide any width. Interesting to be honest, we have a large jigsaw now with a large number of pieces. Derek, I'm sure, has it sussed tho
One of Carey's strengths is his crossing so he may play on the left to make the most of that.
Who knows though, there could be a formation change, a 4-3-3 would allow you to play Carey and Lameiras together with a proper holding midfielder behind them.

Carey is TOP DOG.
Lameiras is replacing Tanner.
Think back to how DA juggled Carey and Tanner and you will get your answer.
Lameiras will be bench warming, playing a bit on the wing, and playing CAM in the event of injury or when Del wants to push GC10 to the wing.

I agree. DA was clearly covering for GC's departure.
As regards Jervis defensive skills, the lad tracks back really well and plays for the team even if he is not a natural defender so I would not criticise him at all.
After GC, Jervis is my favourite player and seriously underrated IMHO
