5 at the back, and 1 up top, would be a disaster against these.

yeah, as it's unlikely we switch from a 5 just yet

other option is 3-4-3 with 1 striker and 2 wide men

Just don't want to turn up tonight and see us starting with a lone forward. Think they'll be isolated, and not sure where goals will come from.

Wouldn’t mind the box but you’d have to take out Allen to match Saddles news, maybe we could play Eccles there?

Will be the box/343 with Saka and Rudi I think and Grimes and Torp at the base.

why would you need to drop allen out of the team? he's been playing as the deepest midfielder and the box means there's 2 "6s" which can be Grimes and Allen

They're not saying you have to drop Allen, they're saying that Saddles team news has Allen dropping out the starting line-up.

I think its clear BTA has his downsides but while he is scoring its hard to drop him. Bassette to me doesnt offer more so shouldnt start.

Nope, agreed, I only meant I'd like to see them together at one stage, not the expense of BTA starting.

Seems the only combination not tried so far.

I'm also still angry at Bassette and hold him quite a bit responsible for our collapse against Pompey. Trust me, I'm not advocating for him to start over BTA

Lampard not trusting Torp Grimes Rudoni as a 3 as well then. We are desperate for Sheaf back

Could it be a 343? With a back 5 shape defensively.

Not saying you need to if your frank, I’m saying Allen couldn’t be in that squad today due to saddle he’s benched

We dont play a "back 5". We play 3 with wing backs, huge difference. Especially when you have the quality that Grimes has to find them.

It will be the box.

Unless Eccles is in alongside Grimes. We do need to be wary of Chair in the 10 roles for them.

We'd be relying on Grimes to distribute the ball.

I got overtaken by 3 'Elis' vans today. I think it's an omen. Calling it a hatrick from Mr Simms.

If this is you being ITK (not just speculating) are we back to someone at the club leaking the team and tactics hours before the game? If so, why?

Eccles watching Jack Clarke waltz into the box and finish has put the icing on Eccles' cake for me.

Any news on Haji, EMC and Sheaf? Will be massive for the run in if those 3 are fit. Seems to be going on longer and longer.
Click to expand...
Haji in particular. Could make such a difference towards the business end. The good thing, should we win, is it's 5 wins from 6 in the league without key players. Lose, and this place will be in meltdown! We're either ' on our way' or 'sh&t'. Never in the middle!
