Still enough there to beat an average Ipswich side, they have picked Darnell Furlong at RB for christs sake.

Bit of a curveball Torp being out when all the talk was Wright, Rudoni and Sakamoto. Anyone know what the issue is ?

Decent starting line up though and still pretty good cover on the bench considering

Hope Torp is okay. Seems to be a battle of attrition. Doug King if you’re reading this, please be open-minded about the loan market in Jan if you are unwilling to pay transfer fees.

Wright on the bench means we have the option to go 4-4-2 if needs be.
That would be a handful for any team in this league.

And on top of that, KKH has played mostly in a more attacking position.

Really not sure why people are worried.

Name me another club with such excellent options at left back and in goal on the bench?

….

Exactly.

It's the same system and almost the same line up we changed to against Boro which turned the game back in our favour.

There is, and away from home KKH might be a useful option if its a tight game, and it allows Rudoni to be in his favoured position.

I’d have thought it would be MVE instead of KKH as the winger.

KKH has scored a couple of smart goals since joining us. Makes some good runs that Grimes is good at spotting.

Two years ago when we were short MVE played on the wing so we know he’s capable.

I think he’s better going forward than KKH.

would it?

KKH and MVE as a right side in a back 3 is enough to contain Ipswich wingers which is where their quality lies
Click to expand...

So is MVE at right back and KKH at right wing.

With the injuries we have I think sticking with this formation is the best option. If we went 3 at the back we'd have to start Allen, or play EMC as a 10 maybe.

Better not to unsettle your back 4 regardless

Why make numerous positional changes ? Makes sense to play KKH in Tats position. We all saw what happened at Wrexham with a changed back four

It's mad, despite missing BTA, Torp and Sakamoto and Wright not starting, we've still got seven players starting the game that have scored a goal this season, six of those have scored more than once!
