Rushworth.

Just play with 11 outfielders.

Lampard could probably do that and still win

On current form it’s EMC.

Saka Rudi BTA
Wright

Arguably BTA is better on the right though.

A tricky one.

I would go for dropping one of EMC or Saka (though I like both of them) and play BTA on one of the wings.

That’s assuming, given our current form, that we think Rudoni is good enough to play for us

For me I’d be tempted to drop EMC. Great situation to be in tbh

BTA seems to be performing wherever you play him. Just rotate the wingers based on form and fitness, we’ll need all of them playing a lot in the next few months.

Lampard in goal is stretching it a tad?

If we secure the autos before the final game of the season, register him as a player and stick him on!

Sounds batshit, but he's going to have to fight for his place back given how well we're playing.

I doubt it will take long as he is a class player.

Deserves dropping after conceding for the first time in 600+ minutes. We need better.



Firmly tongue in cheek. Will be interesting when Dovin is back fully fit. Do we stick with Rushworth or do we develop our own very good young keeper?

The decisions Lampard has to make are a much nicer set of decisions than we are used to

Dovin has to earn his place back or, as will be more likely, Rushworth has to suffer a Collins-esque loss of form. No room for sentiment if we’re still in the hunt for the autos

See what shape we're in,then decide which game's are not too taxing bring him back slowly, but if Rushworth is on a spell stretching longer than the one he's on, leave it alone.

Yeah I get that and I would lean that way too by keeping in Rushworth. I just suppose it is a nice headache and to finally have two good keepers as opposed to struggling for one is a nice conundrum

Agree, though at this point we have no idea what Dovin will be like at full fitness.

I told my Sheffield Wed mate that I was getting married.

He just said: “You twit, to who?”

Rudoni has to wait for his chance, there's no way he walks straight back in.

I think he will have to sit on the bench and get 20 or 30 mins here and there, then wait for someone to pick up a knock before getting another chance to start.

Great position for Frank to be in, and when everyone is fit we will have one hell of a bench.

No rush to decide. He's still a couple of weeks away, we could have a suspension or injury that dictates by then. If he comes back for Sheff Utd and we lose, there'll be some blaming him. I'd ease him in if results are positive and not look to start him until after the next international break.

Usually yes, but I would happily go out in round 3 in exchange for promotion.

When he's 100% fit he'll be straight back in. Will be eased in with sub appearances for 2 games maximum.

But then you get to the situation that involves taking a defeat,which kind of means you have to get back on the horse so to speak?

Tbf if he's not fully fit it's not worth the risk given we seem to be coping ok. We don't want a set back.

These things generally tend to sort themselves out, we will get more injuries, hopefully the timing allows us to keep playing a winning team, and not worry too much who to leave out

I understand where your coming from but we hear that all the time tbh.

If we got a non League team or if we truly didn't care about going out to even orem of champ teams we could play likes of

Dovin
Woolfenden
Lati
Bidwell
KKH
Eccles
Allen
Andrews
Brau
Simms


And that's before we think about new signings

The extra game time could be invaluable for alot of those
