First half Watford was probably the best. First half Blackburn was some of the worst but the two goals killed them and then we were OK once we went 541 I thought.
We’ve played more than everyone around us and would pretty much need this purple patch to carry it for most of the rest of the season. I can’t see it happening, not least because we’re winning without playing particularly well but never say never.
I don’t see 433 as one up top. I don’t like 541/451 as the midfield tends to compress and isolate the striker but 433 you get people up and around him. I trust EMC to do that far more than Sakamoto or Rudoni.
Hope EMC and Bidders are fit to start and we can go
Dovin
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Torp Grimes Rudoni
Saka Simms EMC
If not then I’d go 532
Dovin
MvE Thomas Binks Kitching Dasilva
Torp Grimes Rudoni
Simms BTA
Was good to see Bidwell on the bench.
That quote is from last week, so “next week” is this week. Sounds like Preston everyone should be available in some form. Maybe another week before they can all start.
