He said 3-0 not 5-0

I've done a rain dance for the last two matches

Social club along from the ground , mobbed by Cov fans …….?it’s like the old days

Wright needs to get back upto speed quickly

 

[StrettoBoy]

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]

Every fucking game a new previously unknown injury, cba

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Mve poorly?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Wonder if there is a sickness bug in the group ?

 

[Evo1883]

Cant work out the team tbh

Back 5 tho

5-1-3-1?

 

[Jamesimus]

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

Back 5 tho

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.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Doubt it

 

[Nick]

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

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Doubt it

Whats your suggestion then smart arse

 

[Evo1883]

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?

No clue

 

[edgy]

Back 3 but only one forward?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

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

 

[Jamesimus]

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

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

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Back 3 but only one forward?

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

 

[Jamesimus]

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

 

[Perennial Lurker]

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

 

[Ccfcisparks]

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

Could easily be him and Rudoni central behind Wright

 

[David O'Day]

This is why we actually have an actual back up RB

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

 

[Ccfcisparks]

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

you dont tend to play a false 9 and CAM

 

[Perennial Lurker]

you dont tend to play a false 9 and CAM

I was being ironical

 

[stevefloyd]

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

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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

 

[Perennial Lurker]

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]

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

What would Lampard know about midfielders.

 

[procdoc]

I imagine the front three will be fluid
