I’m going for a 1-0 win today, winner midway through the second half

How is it 2 steps back to draw at home?

Or one pass forward and two back.

Considering we had no passes forward before lampard came in surely that is improvement?!

Have I missed the ITK team news? Curious if he’s going with the same team as last game, I didn’t think it worked particularly well. Hoping Rapha is finally fit and we can play a proper winger for at least a bit.

Sakamoto has been poor for too long to deserve a start, hopefully we'll give him a rest in favour of 2 up front.
Although that's going to cost us width with EMC also out, so Frank will need to shuffle the deck a bit.
Maybe Allen will get a Start? (Can't believe I just said that!)

I think Simms and BTA might both start.

Saka could do with a rest but we haven't really got anyone else to play there

Dovin

MVE - Thomas - Lati - Bidwell

Sheaf - Eccles

Sakamoto - Rudoni - BTA

Simms

Allen and sheaf were solid for 10 games last season, does a lot of work that sheaf torp and Eccles don’t, id start him

I think I’d rather Bassette than BTA on the left but it’s much of a muchness. Both have the positional sense of an overactive puppy.

Don't fancy BTA starting, if we are desperate then why not give Tavares ago, can't be any worse than BTA

He has no future at the club and is nowhere near good enough.

I think 2 clean sheets is improvement to be honest.
We won't get anywhere if we don't first sort our defence out.

Yeah that would have been the first priority and something to build on.

Would like to see some tactical flexibility here. Not convinced by Saka away from home and if he's not playing then there are too many square pegs in the formation.

Still no Wilson back in the squad which is interesting. Been back training for 3 weeks, so would have expected him back on the bench given FL's comments

Hmm, feel like we lose the best of Rudoni in that position. Let's see how it goes.

I think that’s more circumstances of the fixture list TBH. Even last match we tried to gift them a goal. We don’t look particularly solid, we’ve just had all of the ball last two games.

Need Simms to find some form, until Wright is back at least, as the other options are desperate.

Doesn't really excite me after seeing how that midfield performed on Sunday. (Mainly Torp's lack of dynamism in the advanced role he was in).

Simms should grab this chance today. Still gutted EMC is missing for a while.

How many players have started every game over Christmas/New year? There must be a few.

Given King wanted a cup run last season be interesting to see if he's asked the same of Lampard or is the 11th potentially pencilled in as a chance to rest some players?

Hopefully simms looks up for it today. Expecting a goal and much improved performance compared to Bassette, and not him doing his best impression of a 300 year old tree for 90 minutes.

That’s if he gets any chances, rudoni and sakamoto supplying him ? We didn’t create much at home

Good to see Simms finally given a chance. Not keen on Rudoni being shuffled wide again though.
