Dovin
MVE Lati Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf Eccles Rudoni
Simms Norm

But saddles posts probably suggests that BTA is starting.

Agreed

However with how wank Plymouth Cardiff Hull are i think safety will be about 47 48 this year

If ,as has been suggested in here, that there are a fair few changes that’s brilliant news.

Shows that Lampard can try things differently and wants to shake the tree a little with some of lacklustre players!

Defo three at the back and two up top.

I just don't think 3 at the back is a good idea. When you have a group of rubbish CBs I don't see the benefit in playing 3 of the fuckers.

If we do go to a back 5 I think it's probably more to do with the fact we don't have any wide players if Sakamoto is out.

I would go

Dovin

Lati - Thomas - Kitching - Bidwell

Sheaf - Eccles

MVE - Rudoni - BTA

Simms


Gives us a bit of protection on our right against Sainz and can easily drop into a back 5 if needs be.

We're going to share with Bobby Thomas what coloured shirt he needs to pass to?

Never seen a player misplace so many passes as he did on New Year's Day!

Three CBs to start (Lati, Bobbert, Kitchin)
Sheaf on the bench

Lampard in midfield?

He must be frustrated with how our midfield has been.

I did initially think @covcity4life was going to a gala day and was going to cancel his plans, but I got there in the end.

I agree, unfortunately it's Norwich away which is one of our biggest boggy sides,
Even when we were decent we never performed well there for some reason.
I've been there 8 or 9 times over the last 40 years and never seen us get anything. Thankfully I'm not there today, so if we do win it's me that's the issue

Can't see us getting anything there today, especially with our backwards, sideways, backwards passing and no creative option.

Hopefully today will finally convince Doug that this "Deck" desperately needs help in the transfer window, and it's time to act.
