Josh Reid says fuck you!

I mean if we’re counting him we’re counting Sam McCallum

Where's this KKH coming in at Left Back from? He's been out injured for a while, is he even fit?

 

[JSL]

Didnt Bidwell cost £250k from Swansea. Cheap I know, but I am sure there was a fee involved

 

[mmttww]

I'd go for this but with KKH for JDS

I can see the argument for that if KKH is fit.

 

[Ashdown]

The issues with our back 4 are mostly down to instruction from our coaching staff. Da Silva and Van Ewijk are constantly caught out of position up field as sometimes are the centre backs
as they are sent forward for set pieces as they are the only decent headers of the ball. Our centre backs have also lost possession too often trying to play killer passes recently when a simple pass into midfield would suffice.
I still maintain that if our strikers were more mobile and better in the air, everyone else wouldn’t have to be doing their frigging job for them.

He's surely can't be fit enough to start, he wasn't even that good when he played left back, it's just that he was better than Brau. You can't play a right footed left winger and right footed left back. England tried it and you have zero width.

really he look pretty good until he got injured at Charlton

 

[stupot07]

No, he was pretty average, it was just that he was playing after Brau's debacle against Ipswich.

 

[CovValleyBoy]

On the game, if KKH is fit i'd go for him and Woolf over Kitching and Dasilva. Those 2 simply do not deserve to keep their place in the team right now. You could extend that to quite a few but that left side has really shit the bed. Onyeka should be straight in too.

But. KKH has never played left back for Lampard.
Is he prepared to pick him in that position ?

He played it in his very last game for Lampard, in which he got injured...

 

[David O'Day]

nope, he looked pretty good

 

[wingy]

Josh Reid says fuck you!

McCallum, not a lot though?

 

[stupot07]

nope, he looked pretty good

He was 5/6 out of 10 before he went off. He did one good thing going forward when he dribbled inside and had a shot, but not a single cross or key pass. The whole team were pretty poor.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Rushworth
Milan Lati kitching kkh
Torp Eccles
Sakamoto Rudoni Esse
Wright

Onyeka can come on for last 30, grimes needs a time out

 

[higgs]

Hope Frank the tank is the missing piece of the puzzle and that he kick starts our season again pusb

this might be a stupid question, but why is KO at 3:01 ?

Gives the players a chance for one last piss

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Its actually for CPR Awareness - one minute matters. Not sure its joke worthy Johnny.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I'd keep JDS in on the balance of everything now I think.

 

[torchomatic]

Yeah, we were at Charlton and he looked decent.

was he fuck, you have the right to be wrong though so crack on

Irony!

Andy Turner

KAINE KESLER-HAYDEN: 5.5/6

The right-back was deployed as a left wing-back and got forward well to help initiate attacks while also keeping tabs on opposite number James Bree. Went off injured.

Most out our player ratings on here had him as a 6. I didn't say he was crap, just average, and it's more than he was being compared to terrible Braus performance the game before thats exaggerated his performance.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Assuming Onyeka signs I’d drop Grimes but not change shape. Kamikaze seems to work at home against teams that aren’t Ipswich even if the football is a bit crap.

Rushworth
MvE Thomas Lats Dasilva
Onyeka Torp
Saka Rudoni EMC/Esse
Wright

Chuck some of our many wingers on and swap strikers at 60/70 mins like always.

I'd be very surprised if Frank Lampard drops Grimes.

Onyeka and Grimes protecting the back 4, stop all these silly goals we keep giving away

Don’t think you can drop Grimes. With how we build up, don’t feel anyone else we have suits that role.

Would personally start with Grimes and Onyeka as feel both will play to each others strengths and weaknesses well

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Perhaps a bit more positivity - sell out the game, get behind the team. They are down on their luck, need the fans to get them going again.

That's the spirit.

yeah, he's always right ain't he

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Any word on mason Clark?

Well if he needs a scan he obviously isn't gonna play Saturday, sadly.

We have a right winger, with a left foot and a left winger with a right foot! Why is life so confusing?

 

[Cally Fedora]

Big call at home is Esse or Saka? I’d start Esse with Saka coming on

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Could play both. Esse on the right and Sakamoto on the left. Might even help Dasilva to have that support from tats

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

EMC likely out so Esse left and Tatsu right most likely.

I think you’re right and Lampard sticks with the 316 in possession, but couple of reasons I’d drop Grimes for this:

- He looks fooked the last few games and in need of a rest. Rather this game than the next one.
- We’re at home and Torps set pieces and general goal threat should come in handy

I do worry in a Grime Onyeka Rudoni midfield we have no right footed set piece taker.

He does need a rest I agree. Would like to see him subbed off a bit earlier around the 60th mark if all is going well for a little bit.

On the second point, you could play Torp in the ten. I think he’d do well in the advanced position and would stay more central meaning we can use his shooting and passing ability.

Could do. I think it would be harsh on Rudi to drop him as he’s starting to show some signs of form though.

Not sure one assist is form though.
