Holmowl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Tough one. Unbeaten in two with Moses. But Dominic was superb. Here’s our form when he started games. It’s pretty impressive:- P9. W3. D5. L1 The defeat was Villa, and we were 1-1 when he went off injured. He scored 3 goals in 800 minutes. Also the superb assist cross ball to Fletcher v Blackburn. Interestingly we lost two of the three games he missed during that period. Ive only seen 180 minutes of Moses. He got better as he went on. Dodgy at Reading. Much better at home. Millwall will be a threat at set pieces, especially Matt Smith. On balance, for this game, I would go Iorfa. Im interested to see what others think, and interested to see how many spellings of Iorfa and Odubajo we get in one thread. I cheated - Dom and Mo to me.

Paddyowl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Go with the same, Iorfa on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Iorfa is the better player but go with the one who hasn't done anything wrong yet in the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapSmurf Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 As I said in another thread, let's play our game and disrupt theirs. And don't concede too many corners against them. But we will, so for me I would bring in Eyeorpha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Moses Iorfa or Dominic Odubajo? Neither have done anything wrong. Great problem isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Choose 1 of them and give other a chance on Tuesday against Luton. OP makes some good points about Iorfa but I’d keep Odubajo in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Iorfa looks better to me, and he has that talismanic ability that surpasses his capability - not seen since the likes of Reda Johnson. But I would leave Odubajo in for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Iorfa might drop in at right back, and Odubajo in at left back...? Horses for courses, rather than not changing a winning team for me. Iorfa adds much needed height for this one and would play a big part in both boxes. It's the sort of game that could hinge on set-pieces, so Iorfa would be back in the 11 for me - at the expense of who, probably Odubajo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long time since we've had such problems. It's like we're now a proper football team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York_Owl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'd stick with the same back 4 v Millwall and make the changes v Luton. I'd still prefer a natural left back. Iorfa right back, Fox/Penney left back v Luton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw pete Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I always beloved that you never change a winning team ..play the same Eleven again.. Edited August 14, 2019 by outlaw pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky belly Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I would play Iorfa, for me he's clearly the better player. It's a tough one on Odubajo when you consider the start we have had, but he did look a bit shaky in the first half against the Dingles...

StudentOwl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Iorfa looked a lot better at right back last season than Odubajo has so far this season. Plus he's got a few inches on him and all. I think Iorfa would do more to nullify their physical threat, and having him instead of Moses wouldn't result in us compromising our own game either. I personally want to see Odubajo further forward anyway. Purely personal preference, and I don't know whether this would be the "best" thing to do, but I'd quite like to see us start with Iorfa at RB, Reach at RW, and Harris at LW... then on 70 minutes bring Harris and Reach off for Murphy and Odubajo. Imagine being faced with that sudden injection of pace... eesh. Most important thing is, irregardless who lines up at right back, we'll have options on the bench with raw pace as an attribute and with skill enough to change a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This , he was better second half but not a right back for me , looks like someone playing out of position to me . I would give Reach a run at left back and Palmer or Iorfa on the right Good managers make big decisions that are sometimes unpopular but before the issue is obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.armo Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Reach doesn't have a tackle in him and in my opinion would be lucky to keep his place after what I saw at Reading and against the Dingles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who isn’t left footed Palmer doesn’t half give it a tonk with his left. Going forward he links superbly with Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
