Holmowl Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yet another difficult team to call. I always want Lee and BB in the centre but for this one I cant look beyond Lee and Jones. I always think Lees and Loovens is our best CB pairing, but Hutch is currently undroppable. I suspect Carlos will go solid by dropping one of FF, Hooper, Fletch.

jellybean Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Agreed, think we need Jones in there for the big away games especially. Reach and Bannan also offer defensive and attacking options out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gibkevin Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Same team as at the weekend and hopefully the same result (if not better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 What is the injury situation with Westwood, has he been given the all clear to play in this one? I think that could be a deciding factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarwolf Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Forestieri has to be in the team, dropping him just as he's getting back to his best would be ridiculous. Same team as the QPR game with Westwood coming in if available. Would be harsh to drop Hooper but I'd play Fletch instead personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Dawson Palmer Lees Hutchinson Pudil Bannan Lee Jones Reach Fletcher Forestieri Very tough choice. Going through that team the hardest decision was who partners Fletcher. It seems harsh to drop Hooper after his good form, but I think this is the right kind of game for Fletcher, and we have seen in previous matches that we really miss Forestieri whenever he doesn't feature. Stick with the midfield 4 that worked so well on Saturday, and bring Palmer in for Hunt with it being away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, team picks itself after qpr except striker, the greater physical presence of fletcher as a lone striker probably shades it but happy with hooper on current form. Hooper on after 60-70 mins maybe best and buckley for jones if needing a goal. We're a strong top 5 side so expect 1-1 or tight win there Edited October 26, 2016 by Ash77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The defence and midfield picks itself. Same as qpr with Palmer for Hunt. Up front is interesting. The movement on the field especially between Reach and FF was a feature against QPR. Equally the last 3 games Hooper , in the absence of Fletcher, has played more as a target man than he has before. It is probably a choice between Hooper and Fletcher up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Copthorneowl Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Can't remotely see FF being dropped quite apart from his importance to the team all the flack started around FF and Derby. Carlos will think FF will want to show them he's happy at us, never wanted to leave us and will show that by bagging his first treble if the season. Think FF will be fired up for this one com on Nando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I genuinely can't pick between Fletch and Hooper for this one. Hoops is in great form at the minute, but I can't help but feel Fletcher would be more appropriate for an away game against a flagging but still full of class Derby side. Then I take a step back and wonder how I would have reacted 24 months ago if you had said a Wednesday team would be going away to Derby as favourites and the selection choice would be two of Forestieri, Hooper and Fletcher. Would have thought you were mad I would... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even putting form aside for a second, there's still an advantage to playing Hooper rather than Fletcher in the sort of lone striker role. We're forced to keep the ball on the floor. Eliminates the easy option of chipping the ball up to Fletcher's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
