What I want :
Wilson
Burroughs - McNally - Doyle - Bidwell
Eccles - Sheaf
Hamer - Palmer
Godden - Gyokeres

What I’ll get :
Wilson
McNally - Doyle - Panzo
BNC - Sheaf - Hamer - Bidwell
Allen - Palmer
Gyokeres

then as for the score, we always lose to these fuckers so 1-0 Luton. Would be happy with a point

I'd like to see that first team, Eccles and Sheaf in front of a back 4 and 2 up front !!

Think you'll get

Wilson
Rose McNally Doyle
Eccles Hamer Sheaf Bidwell
Allen Palmer
Gyokeres

Subs: Moore Panzo Fadz BNC JWE Godden Maguire

Sub subs: Burroughs Walker Kelly Howley

Think thats everyone in our fit 1st team squad, the returning players have added squad depth. I'm a long way from being convinced that Maguire and BNC/JWE are improvements on Walker and Burroughs

I really want to see Palmer behind Vik and Godden. Convinced he'll make chances for Godden all day long.

There has been a bit of a change in the way Gyok is playing, he's standing defenders up and getting towards the byline to put in crosses, wonder if it's a future tactic for him to work with Godden?

Would be nice to see if it's the case (though obviously would prefer both in the box and others putting in the crosses)

I think we'd get completely overrun in midfield if we play all 3.

Strangely enough, I'm feeling positive about this one too. Wondering if Fadz may be back to help combat the aerial threat.

I had a dream that we agreed to sell Gyo to Fulham at the end of the season for £2.5 million, rising to £3.25 million. That did affect the Luton game somewhat which I think Dream CCFC lost 4-0.

I had a dream I helped David Mitchell kill his dad and started going bald from the stress. Not sure what this means for the result.

Got to love football fans. Am sure many of those expressing confidence in us winning today have spent much of the week bemoaning the merits of Wilson, Norton-Cuffey, Panzo, Doyle, Allen, Palmer etc as not being good enough, even though they are all likely starters today.

Let's hope that confidence is not misguided

There’s been a lot of focus on our CBs and Keeper recently, which is fair enough with some of the amateur defending we’ve seen.

However, and I feel like a broken record, the importance of our wing backs is massive. They have to offer an outlet, and be effective in doing so else we’re too one dimensional and predictable.

For that reason, despite preferring him in CM, I would start Eccles over BNC. In fact I’d start Burroughs but he won’t. LWB Bidwell won’t be dropped, and he’s been steady and reliable, but when the RWB offers zero, it puts a bigger emphasis on him to be an outlet.

I’d also go two up front, I didn’t think it massively worked earlier in the season/last year at times, but we need to try something different. However he’ll start Allen at 10 I would imagine, so whilst we’ll see lots of running, he won’t offer the killer ball to any runs the front two make.

Really do need a win to re-ignite us again and set up a exciting end to the season. If Gyokeres is going in the summer, let’s make use of him for a push while we can.

Agree with a lot of this. I still think the poor defence hobbles the WBs because we have to stop crosses coming in.

Eccles should come in for BNC and I'd bring Godden in too as Gyokeres has been too isolated since O'Hares injury. Can't play Palmer with 2 up top as it leaves the midfield too exposed off the ball.

-------------------------Wilson
-------------McNally-Doyle- Panzo
Eccles -sheaf--Hamer-Allen---Bidwell
----------------Godden--Gyokeres.

Why? Palmer wins the ball more than Allen. He’s been asked to play just off Vik but he can easily play CM.

I have a feeling Bidwell might be dropped after that terrible performance last week. Hoping for Godden alongside Gyokeres as he needs support and with Palmer behind them we might look far more of a goal threat. However, expecting more cross country style running from Allen instead.

Also, might be getting confused with players, but was Amari’i Bell an absolute bell end last time we played them?
