Hopefully Haji and the Jamaican lads come back unscathed.
I’d go with
Collins
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf Torp
Eccles OHare Wright
Simms
Not ideal putting Eccles on the wing but I think he’d do a job out there and cover MVE in a similar way to sakamoto.
If we stick with the 4231 which I think most would say is our best formation one of EMC Simms Wright and Sakamoto will miss out, not to mention any new incomings. Great problem to have.
Just think in a game where teams are sitting back and he can’t use his pace he struggles to make an impact going forward. I still think we’ll go back to a 5 against Hudders.
Worked brilliantly against premier league opponents but I don’t think Van Ewijk is a winger. If we’re going to stick with that formation I’d rather see Eccles on the right and Van Ewijk behind him possibly.
If was Carrick in the play offs last year and O’Neil now. Robins schooled them both. Nobody seen us playing a 4411 today, robins (and the coaching staff) have done it again.
