Knowl has posted on Twitter about the number of changes made by Robbins being a problem, and a reason for disappointment. Venture to differ
V Notts County August 2017: O'Brien: Grimmer Hyam McDonald Stokes: Vincenti Kelly Doyle Jones: McNulty Beavon
The ideal starting line-up would have had Willis for Hyam I assume.
Robbins’ probably ideal starting line-up 1st Jan 2018: Burge: Grimmer Willis McDonald Stokes: Jones Kelly Doyle Bayliss: McNulty Biamou
So
Burge replaces O’Brien after two howlers and deservedly keeps his place
Bayliss replaces Vincenti – he’s a bright new prospect
Biamou has replaced Beavon although only keeps his place for want of anything better
Otherwise they are identical. All other changes forced by injury. Andreu? I have always been puzzled as to where he fits in Once you have Kelly/Doyle plus two strikers and given the belief (correctly) in the need for pace and skill on the flanks where is the space? Wasn’t he a case of high expectations, then disappointing performance, no matter how brief followed by unwarranted fond memory?
The side v Notts County only had Stokes, Jones and Beavon from the previous season – this lack of familiarity might be the reason for patchy performance (and the very conservative set up with two holding midfielders)
