I wish we would stop having 11 men in the box for a corner at least leave one up there like Da Silva as an outlet.

I agree that we need to keep one player on or near the halfway line as an outlet. Opposing teams wouldn't want to risk a one on one which, if we get past their defender, means he's through on the goalkeeper. So they will probably pull two men back, giving us an increased numerical advantage in defending the corner.

I'd probably choose Tats. He's short, so of limited use in defending corners, but very likely to get past their defenders.

MVE a miss, but at least three players who can change a game on the bench in Torp, EMC and Simms.

Think its Eccles and Grimes with a front 3 of Rudoni Wright Sakamoto.

Rudoni maybe off the left, or is it Rudoni in false 9 with Wright on the left?

Simms, Mason Clarke and Torp make the bench look a lot stronger.

I think it will be this, Rudoni as a 10 / drifting about a bit.

This is why we actually have an actual back up RB

Should be enough there and there's proper game changers on the bench.

Frank seems to think Eccles is better than he is, hopefully he's right unless Torp is still recovering still

Can only assume MVE is illness, doubt there'd have been much if any physical training since Saturday.

How about flat back four with big Bob up top with Wright and Saka either side . Keeps the 4-2-3-1 system ?
