Match Thread Bournemouth away (1 Viewer)

On the plus side, Bournmouth will be as confused about our formation as we are.

I'm sure we have. Didn't we go back 4 against Bristol City and that worked out OK. Regardless, even if I'm wrong, square pegs in round holes is unlikely to work.

We did it against Derby and Birmingham last season

Forest at home

seems really strange not to use all the substitute allocation. Why not include Pask, Drysdale or Dacosta or even some of the youngsters?

I think it’s a case that Rose was a late withdrawal so one of the subs has replaced him and that’s why we’re short on the bench

Wow, ok

Nope, he inferred that Gyo was either not fully fit or ill. Not fully fit it is. Think that’s been the case since that awful challenge on him against Blackburn.

Flat 4 ? Kane RM ?

Gyokeres has clearly needed a rest since his ankle got smashed at Blackburn. Today is probably the best time to do it as we're unlikely to win anyway.

Positionally not great in that game...but he did have Dacosta playing on his right.
Was he playing there when he gave away the pen vs reading?

The worst time to have someone out of position in the back 3/5

Odd as he looked a lot more like himself second half Tuesday, but there we go. Godden needs to be as clinical as possible for us to get something today.

Leamington lot made that long journey to watch us get battered in the cold.

Shame

You may come out with some pure rubbish but this would be preferable to Dabo as a right sided centre back, so I kind of hope so.

Our bench...1 coming back from long long term injury, 1 coming back from not so long term injury, 1 who apparently has an injury, 1 who is hit and miss and alledgedly lazy and Shipley

Will be very happy with a point today if we can get it.

Early sending off for them would be nice

2-2

What’s up with Hamer?

He’s played every game since then - he hasn’t scored in 8 and this probably is his longest spell of games in his career - he can’t be injured For 6 weeks and still have played every week

They take a third goalkeeper

We have also regularly taken an extra outfield player. It's been common practice over the last few seasons. I don't attend every away game but everyone I have been to this season I have seen a spare outfield player.

Defensive recruitment...

Didn't you see him go off on Tuesday?

Cook getting raked would be nice

This weather nearly always proves to be a leveller, could help us out.

Injury from the week

It's bright sunshine

On the plus side Kane’s delivery adds another dimension to our attacks and gives us an edge we’ve been missing recently. We’ll just probably need him to assist 3 goals to give us a chance today.

Someone said 40mph winds by 3pm

Now I've got that off my chest I'm going to attempt positivity. Maybe with so many defensive players we can just swamp them and get a horrid 0-0. Should employ Birmingham style shithouse/ time wasting tactics from the start.

Of course you can! I don’t mean he’s broken his leg, I mean he’s got a knock. You can play when not 100%. It happens.

Not just leamington. Looks like a lot of day trippers out. Definitely a Wembley feel about it.

How can he not be 100% for 6 weeks? He looked fine against Birmingham
