BIG D Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Up front v MK Dons please. No fannying about now, best players on the pitch until we're safely in the playoffs. I'd bring Sam in as well (for Loovens?) if he's fully recovered, he's very important to the side and we always seem better for having him on the pitch.

Stoop Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Fernando wide left for me so he can drift and get involved more Sometimes he can get abit isolated up top Nuhiu and hooper up top for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleo Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 A bit worried about Sam. I read he's had glandular fever and that can take ages to get over - saps your energy. Hope he's ok because we need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS6Owl Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Sam looked fine having a fitness test Saturday morning whilst the u18s were warming up. He was laughing and joking around. It looked like he was unlucky to miss out on yesterday's squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Lopez has been amazing but back to bannan in the middle and forestieri out wide for home games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Have our best performances come when we've played with FF and Hooper up front? For me, Forestieri's best displays have come when playing out wide, and Hooper's have come when playing alongside Nuhiu. On Tuesday, I'd bring in Nuhiu and Hooper, and play Forestieri wide left. But then who gets left out? Lopez or Bannan? Lopez has been brilliant of late, and after winning 3 out of 3 whilst Bannan was suspended, we've failed to win the next games since his return... But can you really leave Bannan out?! Perhaps Wallace misses out, and that way you shoehorn all three (Bannan, Lopez & Lee) into midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Wait until the Big Dave love club read this. Big Dave Love Club here. Not really, but thats how some twist this next point. Fernando plays better and the team play better when he is wide left. Bannan is far better in the centre than out wide. He started very poorly yesterday, looking out of place. Lopez did really well, but he is not a patch on Bannan. I think our best team has the Wallace Lee Bannan Fernando midfield, with Hooper partnering Nuhiu or Joao. Definitely would not change Lees/Loovens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Lopez isn't a patch on Bannan. No contest, Lopez back to the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Definitely keep Lees and Loovens at the back. If Hooper is fit I would start him with Forestieri and put Matias or McGeady left. Or Joao left possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Always start with your best and go from there. Right now that's Hooper and Forestieri paired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Always start with your best and go from there. Right now that's Hooper and Forestieri paired. I agree but not only focussing on the strikers. Our best 3 players... Hooper Bannan Fessi Play them in their best positions and build the rest around them. Hooper striker. Bannan central. Fessi wide left.

I concur except we're not playing the type of game that would benefit Hooper and Fessi best i.e. them running at defenders or then lurking just outside the penalty box of set pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuhiu has zero impact when he starts a game full stop. Look at our results. Why can't people see this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's allowed to walk straight back in, it shouldn't work like that. You can't fault his work rate but the point stands. He's not as big a miss as Forestieri is, as already been proved. Lopez has been a breath of fresh air since returning to the side, would be criminal to drop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 433 could end up being the best option in the long run Lees/Loovens Hutch, Lee, Bannan FF on the left , Joao down the middle, maybe Matias on the right. Hooper from the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's ok because we need him. I had that and it took over a year to fully recover from it. On the plus side I was skinny as flip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
