I would play him in flat 3 with sheaf and Eccles probably.Allen is a really interesting shout. Gives energy and willingness to receive the ball others don’t. Where do you fit him in though? Not at CM for me, maybe one of the wide forward slots?

that was the trio who played at Millwall last year, 3.0 victory.
Yep. Personally, flatters to deceive for me.Drop Rudoni?

Exactly that, we've got too many who go missing. JA not best technically, but he will bring energy at least.Certainly goes missing too much in the CM role for me. Allen would give you something there.

My concern with JR after seeing him previously is end product and output, not changed my mind to date.
Yeah, exactly. FL will have had a full week to work with the players, so I do think we will see a quite different Sky Blues this Saturday.after a solid week under FL there should be some changes to start showing. draw against cardiff, take the positive, we didnt lose.
FL and new coaches will shake things up, warmup on matchday was noticeably different, changes will come.
Dovin needs to start, if he makes howlers, fine, but stick to one GK, we havent had just a solid no1 in goal every game since what, wilson last season? Gk's will make mistakes, nothing cements low confidence more than dropping a keeper.
Dovin
MVE - Bink - Thomas - Bidwell
Sheaf - rudi- Eccles
saka - simms - EMC
1-0 cov.
Also I hope he's a leader, would also bring bidders back at left back. Sorry but JDS just not good enough.It was noticeable under Robins IIRC that without O’Hare we lacked that man offering an option and running past his man to draw a man until Allen came in at AM.
Hopefully Bidwell will be much sharper by Saturday.Also I hope he's a leader, would also bring bidders back at left back. Sorry but JDS just not good enough.

could Rodz make an appearance on the bench? saw that hes at least training with the first team. id love to think that we have a player with a great deal of talent (almost feels like a new signing when/if he plays at some point) that can be an option soon.Yeah, exactly. FL will have had a full week to work with the players, so I do think we will see a quite different Sky Blues this Saturday.
I'd take another draw, as long as it's a good performance and looks promising for the coming weeks ahead.
Rudoni didn’t play in the 10 on Saturday?I think Rudi in that 10 leaves a gap between him and the 2 behind him so Allen isnt a bad shout
Looked like it a lot as the wingers pushed back to support the midfield while he was up by Bassette, thats my only real criticism of the 1st half especially. It made it slower for the wingers to hit the lines as they were coming from deeperRudoni didn’t play in the 10 on Saturday?
Kitching must be showing some of the good stuff to FL this week in training then to earn a start?Team for me
Dovin
Milan - Thomas - Kitching - Binks
Eccles - Sheaf
Sakamoto - Rudoni - Ephron Mason Clark
Simms
Attack forms a 3-2-5 while defending in a 4-4-2
They are missing cooper and tanganga.Millwall have some colossal central defenders. I feel playing Simms would be a disadvantage against them. Speed and playing to feet is the way to beat them so the likes of Bassette / BTA are my preference under the circumstances.
I don’t mate, all I can say is I don’t think we can keep the defence as it is.Kitching must be showing some of the good stuff to FL this week in training then to earn a start?
i hope so, i think there is a player in kitching, just didnt seem to make the step up from the barnsley. hes a tall player should be a great option between binks and bob. noticed recently that neither of them get subbed off, they must be knackered too.I don’t mate, all I can say is I don’t think we can keep the defence as it is.
He’s aggressive in the tackle and could act as a leader for the back three/four. Think it’s important for Frank and us to keep an open head with all the players, never know different manager maybe different attitude
Allen on the wingAllen is a really interesting shout. Gives energy and willingness to receive the ball others don’t. Where do you fit him in though? Not at CM for me, maybe one of the wide forward slots?
Not good vibes about Wilson's recovery progress on Cov Tel story. Apparantly not yet back on grass.It’s at the point I’d consider Wilson just for his attitude. Am I Mark Robins?

I'd like to see Dovin come back in - one mistake aside I think he's our best option. Would be interesting to see if FL gives Kitching a go over Binks. I don't mind Binks, don't think he's a bad player by any means but maybe needs a breather to recover confidence.
Midfield for me is the biggest issue in our squad right now. I've said before that a defence is only as good as what is in front of it. The goals conceded against Sheffield United and the second Cardiff goal in particular are down to our midfield being a little all over the place. I think this is a system issue more than individual, Eccles and Sheaf always put up good numbers in defensive contributions in seasons gone by and work needs to be done in training to solidify that - there's always a man free or a runner into the box being completely missed.
Think he'll persist with Rudoni over Torp for the time being. Think Rudoni looked a little awkward and ineffective taking up a position on the left side of the pitch so maybe tinker with that a little so he's taking up positions more centrally or on the right?
I hope this week in training is just a complete reset of back to basics - this is the system we'll be using and these are the positions you take up out of possession kind of thing.
