Bta for emc will limit our attacking but it also looks like 4-1-3-2 or certainly 2 up front so that’s interesting or even 4-3-3 with Bta left and saka right
Who knows eh

Thomas Asante on the left first half vs Sheffield United really didn’t work.

Expected BTA in for EMC

Was half expecting Bidwell for Dasilva given the latter's playing time recently.

Think we'll win this, Rudi to come off the bench and bag the winner

There goes my vision of EMC & Saka ripping them apart in the first 10 minutes. C’mon Saka, it’s all up to you now.

EMC put in a big shift on sat, expect him to come on today and sway the game in our favour like every other time he’s come off the bench.

Simms needs someone with him and it looks like BTA will be that man. If it starts to go bad, EMC can come on for Simms and go on the left and BTA up front as he did against Sheffield United

Simms needs to come off then EMC goes left and BTA up top, BTA can run all game.

It's 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, BTA is just playing where EMC does, likely for the tracking back

Middlesbrough play an even higher line than we do according to @Match Plot so perhaps there is also an attacking reason for BTA to be involved

Glad to see he's on bench.

The subs look tasty too.
Most would walk in to any championship side.
If things are going pear shaped we have players who can change things.

We looked far less of a threat when Simms came off on Sat, need him in the box.

Or maybe they just wanted an extra midfielder instead of a 3rd lb?

If Bidwell and EMC are on the bench why would he be?

I think thats his point. If he was up to it, he would be there instead if Bidwell

He's our 3rd choice lb, he was free and they see him as some who in the future could be worth having around.

Plenry of options off the bench. And we can afford to take Simms off after 70/75 give him a rest then switch Asante as striker and bring on EMC to left.

Coukd go more attacking Rudoni for eccles later too.
