So you’re annoyed that theres a player on the bench that definetly won’t come on and you want to replace him with another player who wouldn’t come on ?

Hopefully it's same formation and ayari and o hare play as wide forwards

Expected to see same 11. Must be a tiredness thing or maybe robins wants to pack midfield.

Either way let's back the manager. O hare we know is capable and ayari is talented and not as bad as some make out albeit not set world alight.

Not really

thought we were going to see Simms and saka

not o hare and ayari

was confident we’d actually create on the counter

Could work , but seems Robins doesn't what to lose the midfield battle with this team , can't blame him really .. let's see if it comes off

Midfield is still a 3 Evo... Guessing COH and Ayari will tuck in to make a 5 when we are out of possession... Whether they can/are disciplined enough to do that (especially Ayari) is another question in itself.

Maybe Wilson is on the bench as an outfield player

After seeing OHare try and play out wide and Ayari, they wont be able to play out wide.

Wasn’t expecting that, it’s usually the sort of line up that ends up proving us wrong.

Just suprised at the team selection

because seems like we’re trying to condense the midfield and try and keep possession

If we are set up with 2 AMs behind the lone striker though it could shore up midfield further .. we will see

Ayari is seen as an 8 long term so he should be able to tuck in when we are defending , just worry about him physically

His positional awareness has been poor so far. That is my worry.

As the Chuckle Brothers would say, oh dear oh dear…

Maybe there’s a good reason why one of our most relentless and difficult to play attackers isn’t starting, maybe it’ll be some sort of tactical masterclass but I can’t see it myself and I’m genuinely getting fed up of Sakamoto being benched every other week. Not only that but to start Ayari ahead of him?! Even O’Hare looked relatively off it when he came on last game. Rest of the team is great but no Simms or Sakamoto makes absolutely zero sense to me. But hey, I’d rather be wrong and us win, let’s just hope Ayari plays out of his skin.

Rubbish team selection. CoH is not fit enough to start a game like this. He looked off the pace when he came on in the last game. Ayari is just not at the races.

Heavily reliant on full backs for..
any width....not sure how ipswich play but I'd assume they will be full of width.

Ayari...must be having in blinder in training.

Insane amount of midfielders in that starting 11. I'm guessing he's trying to keep it tight to begin with?

Well if that selection works then it is a Robin's master stroke. To me it seems utterly bizarre. That's why I am not a football manager I guess.

Time will tell but thinking about it, looks like it might pay off. Just need to keep it tight and have a go at them with fresh legs when they tire.

Having seen the intensity with which their midfield smothered Millwall on Wednesday, I can see why MR has selected that team.
