[Sky Blue Pete]

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

[Briles]

Whoever is leftback bet on a yellow

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

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

 

[PVA]

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

Hope so

 

[Johhny Blue]

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.

Everyone knows? It’s BTA off the left

 

[Speedie's Head]

No striker on the bench, only EMC, not even a kid!

Yep Simms needs to manage his effort doesn’t he lol

 

[ptr]

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.

 

[JSL]

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

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Ok

 

[David O'Day]

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

 

[David O'Day]

Simms needs someone with hom anf it looks loke BTA will be that man. If it stsrts to go bad, EMC can come on for Simms as he did against Sheffield United

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

 

[fernandopartridge]

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

 

[covcity4life]

why spread lies?

Said on the yellow ticket on SSN that him and Wright ruled out

Glad to see he's on bench.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

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.

 

[Saddlebrains]

No Brau


Imagine my shock. Called it ages ago, shite

 

[JSL]

Has anyone seen Middlesborough's team? Are they 4 or 5 at the back tonight?

 

[JSL]

No Brau


Imagine my shock. Called it ages ago, shite

But free shite like those sacks left out at entrances to farms

 

[David O'Day]

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

Whats the excuse been every other game hes been on the bench then? Wanted more defenders?

They linked up well at portsmouth.

 

[RoysterE17]

Got more nervous about this game as the day has gone on. Imo this our biggest test so far this season

 

[David O'Day]

Whats the excuse been every other game hes been on the bench then? Wanted more defenders?

because we didn't have enough seniors players to make the bench and it was him or U21 or U18 players?

 

[fernandopartridge]

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

 

[JSL]

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

 

[David O'Day]

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.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

of all the things I expected to be the pre match chat, Brau was not the one.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Weird assumption

 

[Londonccfcfan]

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.

 

[chiefdave]

I’m going to have no phone reception for the next 2-3 hours. Hoping to emerge from the wilderness to good news!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not clear what their defence is going to look like, back 4?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We have to completely overload Silvera. Winger playing at LB. Tatsu and MVE need to team up.
