Why can’t I see our game on the Sky Sports schedule what’s changed?

If the back line is going to be makeshift no matter what, I can see the logic in not making an unforced change in goalkeeper.

It looks like I was spot on, again. He’s not going to drop him at this stage.

I actually think Eccles has had most of his best games at RWB.

He’s had some good games as well as some average/poor games. Asking him to play that position after a significant spell on the sidelines is just not a sensible idea. Whichever you try to sell it.

After Wright and Rudoni, Sakamoto has 9 goal contributions… which is the most in the team (available players).

The issues against the lower teams in the division is more tactical than formation imo. We leave ourselves open to the counter at times and can be a bit hesitant to put the ball behind the lines and in the box.

You wouldn't need one, you'd just go to 4 at the back if you needed to take one off.

This is getting silly now!

The sooner people pushing 5-3-2 accept the personnel for that system isn’t available, the better.

I think it's pretty obvious that something is wrong with Wilson.

Although the more he doesn't play, the more he's like Prime Buffon to some.

As bad as Collins has been, I don’t think it’s bizarre to avoid crowbarring your third choice keeper into the side for the rest of a playoff run when your back four is already battered and bruised.

You also cant keep allowing a keeper thats wank to keep costing you goals at such a crucial time

He isn't going to do it, but you start with 352 keep it tight, and then go back to a 433 when the game opens up.

He isn't going to do it so it's a moot point. We'll just play 343 with Grimes playing Centre back for most of the game anyway.

I dont think there's any value in Bringing in a gk who hasn't played for 9 months for such an important game, regardless of how bad people think Collins has been

There are no good options here. That’s why it’s not bizarre for Lampard to opt for one over the other.

It's sky sports + so will be red button or if your using NOW TV the links will be up shortly, they don't tend to show until 30 mins or so before kick off.

Not the best back 4 but if you match the Teams up we’ve still got the better quality, its all about which Cov turns up, the Sunderland/ West brom one or the derby/ Plymouth one, wer‘e getting a point at least. We’re not letting it slip this close

He’d need to change our approach to accommodate Wilson, who hasn’t played in months and is also a poor goalkeeper.

At this stage though, I can understand why a change would be better but neither of them are good enough and offering a new contract to Wilson was just stupid.

Well ferguson changed his first choice keeper for les sealey in a cup final replay because his other keeper kept making mistakes

They won and he made several good saves
