Think it's only me that thinks that :)
There's a couple.. Either way it's an interesting thing for me to watch for... As I haven't really seen it as an issue

I’m saying his areal ability is a shit reason to keep him in because he was a joke last game and has been poor recently. If Marosi was in then the defenders know it’s theirs to deal with and the keeper is ready to make the save. This is the worst of both.
"If Marosi was in then the defenders know it’s theirs to deal with and the keeper is ready to make the save."

Yes, however it depends how he wants the defenders to set up. What you said automatically brings them on top of the keeper. If he wants to defend higher on set pieces- an element of trust (although not sure if this is the right word where we are at currently) needs to be had that a keeper will come and make a decision.
As said - going forward neither are the answer. Today- Robins call....

Maybe. Marosi is more likely to be the answer than Wilson though. He didn’t struggle at all with Wycombe last year.

If we need him for the last 9 games then a way to demotivate him by Letting his competition keep his place after that display on Tuesday.

Look for the collective noun for nervous, then you'll have found your answer!

Don't think anyone would have been surprised to see Wilson dropped but then when Marosi came in after his injury it wasn't long before there were calls for him to be dropped so I guess we have go go with Robins choice. is Marosi still suffering after effects from his injury? It was a pretty horrific one to be fair.

Same up front, Godden clearly isn't up to a full 90 minutes, is the same true of Walker?

As we've been saying all season it would be great to have more options and more genuine Championship quality players but we just don't have that squad strength.

I think this is going to be a tight game I'm thinking 0-0 i cant see where our goals are coming from, unless we make changes early enough to make a difference.
I hope I'm wrong! 🤞

I'd hope that today, being at home and a win being very useful, as well as only one up front so needing the midfielders closer to Biamou, that we are putting them more on the back foot more than they are to us, so fingers crossed we should be naturally higher up the pitch anyway.

Will also depend how we are coping with the long ball. If we get too high, I'm sure they'll be trying to get Hyam doing 180s and running back towards his own goal. There's a lot of variables involved anyway, not *just* McFadz. (have i given myself enough get-out clauses there?!! :cool:)

Wonder who many years it will be until our fans aren’t obsessed with 2 up front. My grandad would always bang on about 5 forwards when I was kid, think we have finally got out of that now just

When you've got a largely impotent lone striker and not a great deal of goals from elsewhere it becomes an issue. If we had a lone striker who scored regularly fine. We don't.

Why is Walker not ready to start? Has he been injured?

More likely Robins wants one up front and Walker is more a fox in the box that going around harassing defenders and holding the ball up.

Cricket is going to be decent if we have a man sent off after 6 minutes

I don’t get what people expect from MR. He’s such a cautious manager always looking to not lose. Where have you been for 4 years?
At home to bottom of the league with the worst defensive record in the league pete ? As I said tho it should still be enough to win
