Expecting a loss so anything more will be fine.
With Marosi and McCallum missing really unsure of how to set up as Giles would have to be pushed in LB which isn't working to his strengths and robs us of much of his ability to create. Also still without Godden which puts my thoughts of a 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 on the backburner despite Max and Baka being available.
Sheaf, Kelly and Hamer in midfield is my main starting point and working out from there.
As Dabo seems to be more influential at RWB and Giles better going forward it'd suggest WB's would be the better choice, but we do get caught in behind at times playing that, suggesting 3CB's. Or do we go with the two with Kelly just in front of them (or possibly Sheaf)
With the ACM/F do we stick with Shipley to run around and possibly link up around the box, although he does pull out of challenges far too easily? Or O'Hare for a bit more ability to run with the ball, but still with the workrate? Biamou to challenge and hold up the ball to give us a more direct option out (which I think we may need as I feel they'll press high and put us under pressure).
I'm really stuck as to what I'd do.
I think Shipley will start over O’Hare robins seems to favour him currentlyWilson
Dabo Ostigard fadz Hyam Giles
Hamer Kelly sheaf
Ohare
Walker
I think resting McFadz for this one could be an idea.
I worry about him dealing with Pukki and getting sent off having been caught out for speed.
If Pukki is injured...that would be a real bonusHopefully he is injured as came off last game due to hamstring
My sister's husband is a Norwich fan. We were supposed to be making a weekend of it in Norfolk... shame.
Theres just no chance Giles will play Left back. No chance. Mark my wordsSame set up from last night with Giles in for McCallum at left back and O'Hare in midfield.
Would take a draw here but a loss not the end of the world!
We could be playing Norwich, Northwich, Ipswich, or Sheffield Wednesday!Shall we have a game of Eakin bingo?
Or sandwich. Bless him, he tries his best old Clive.We could be playing Norwich, Northwich, Ipswich, or Sheffield Wednesday!
Good shout. just cant see Giles at left back. but then theres hardly any back up defenders on the bench apart form Thompson.If we stick with the same system as last night, then I think Ostigard could play left back. I think MR has referenced his ability to fill in at full back - I could wrong.
If Godden is returning to the side, it might be worth considering playing 5-3-2 again. Frankly, based off the last two games, we’re giving up too much defensively in an away game against top of the league. It’s probably too risky.
Thompson’s a right footer though so I think he’ll go 3 CH’s. It’s an away game and I think he might change it. Surprised if Shipley starts too. Look fooked in both of the last 2 games when subbed. Even though we can name 9 subs, the options aren’t to great in terms of squad depth, trusting those who might start against those who won’t and can come on and either make an impact or close a game out.Good shout. just cant see Giles at left back. but then theres hardly any back up defenders on the bench apart form Thompson.
You want to play with ten men?A game we can go into with pressure of us no fear a free hit, Robins has changed the system and to be fair it has got us points on the board may not be prety at times but yesterday was an improvement on birmigham and another clean sheet, personally would stick to the same formation with Giles replacing mcallum at left back which is a shame as he looked good in the advanced role and ohare for Shipley.
Giles is not a defender. If he plays lb then I’ll be shocked. This is the first away (?) game for nearly a month. The formation will be different with the personnel he has available. Good time to play the league leaders though, they’ve got injuries to rival ours.You want to play with ten men?
He’s on loan from NorwichHave I missed something - MaCallum is injured?
Have I missed something - MaCallum is injured?
Ben Wilson Masterclass and City to lose 1-0
I’d give him an A- if that happens
Yes you missed somethingHave I missed something - MaCallum is injured?
Well, Tim Krul's out so we'll both be playing reserve keepers, anybody's guess who will be the best of them
