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.

Back 5, no MVE, Simms dropped, Wright back

SeaSeeEffCee · 2025-12-09T18:31:32+0000

Every fucking game a new previously unknown injury, cba

Sky Blue Pete · 2025-12-09T18:31:44+0000

Mve poorly?

Perennial Lurker · 2025-12-09T18:31:44+0000

Wonder if there is a sickness bug in the group ?

Evo1883 · 2025-12-09T18:31:51+0000

Cant work out the team tbh

Back 5 tho

5-1-3-1?

Jamesimus · 2025-12-09T18:32:49+0000

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?

Its a fucking disgrace. Lampard, Bling and Dr Claire need to sort it out.

Doubt it

Nick · 2025-12-09T18:33:29+0000

5 with grimes eccles in front of them (or to the side of the wing backs)
Rudoni and Saka
Wright

No clue

edgy · 2025-12-09T18:33:36+0000

Back 3 but only one forward?

Sky Blue Harry H · 2025-12-09T18:33:41+0000

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

Jamesimus · 2025-12-09T18:33:51+0000

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

Ccfcisparks · 2025-12-09T18:34:05+0000

edgy said:

We have Wright, Saka and likely Rudoni as the forwards?

Jamesimus · 2025-12-09T18:35:22+0000

Could we see Sakamoto being more narrow this evening as well?

Perennial Lurker · 2025-12-09T18:35:41+0000

Eccles as a false 9 with Rudi as CAM and Wright and Saka as wide players I reckon

Ccfcisparks · 2025-12-09T18:35:41+0000

Jamesimus said:

Could easily be him and Rudoni central behind Wright

David O'Day · 2025-12-09T18:35:51+0000

This is why we actually have an actual back up RB

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

you dont tend to play a false 9 and CAM

I was being ironical

stevefloyd · 2025-12-09T18:36:49+0000

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

Brighton Sky Blue · 2025-12-09T18:37:26+0000

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

Perennial Lurker · 2025-12-09T18:37:38+0000

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

Big Bob up top? You're sounding like @Lamps

RoysterE17 · 2025-12-09T18:37:58+0000

One game over xmas we might have a full squad to choose from

What would Lampard know about midfielders.

procdoc · 2025-12-09T18:38:26+0000

I imagine the front three will be fluid
