bigash_swfc Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Odubajo looked a class above against Barnsley. It's his shirt to lose for me. But then again, I wasnt keen on Harris starting at Reading or Murphy starting against Barnsley prior to the games, so I'll leave that decision to Bullen.

Ronnie Starling Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Stick with the same back four until form or injury dictate. Odubajo looked a little shaky in the first half v Barnsley but was much better in the second half. Palmer was very good at left back and looked as though he had been playing there for years.

asteener1867 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Its nice to have a difficult decision to make because both are decent players...rather than the usual "who would do least damage" Odubajo looked class second half...especially as several times when not under too much pressure chested it down and found a pass, instead of lofting back the way it had come... I'm not really bothered which one of them plays tbh... Is bullen going to keep a winning team or like others have suggested put Iorfa in to counteract Smith. Should we worry that much about Smith? or do we have enough to make any contribution he makes negligible by simply beating whats in front of us.

Sham67 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The back four won't be changed. Iorfa will replace Fox on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I don’t agree with the ‘you don’t change a winning team’ mentality. You go with the team you feel is most likely to get you a win in that particular match. Just because a team beat Barnsley doesn’t mean they’ll be equally equipped to beat Millwall Edited August 14, 2019 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Iorfa doesn’t seem to be able to defend but he’s a great threat in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’d stay with Odubajo, not that he’s a right back, but then nether is Iorfa. Palmer is by far the best in that position, but he’s needed at left back. After a bit of a mare against Reading, Odubajo was better on Saturday, so no point in changing things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 In all fairness Iorfa has to win his place back. His fault for being dismissed last game of the season. Competition for places is good and nobody should walk back into a winning side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 We don’t have a big back 4 compared to many and I would play Iorfa to improve that. Hope he is still available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Iorfa due to set piece threats. How daft would bully look having i.d'd a specific threat and not addressing it if they scored from aerial dominance? Question for me is moses or palmer lb, especially looking ahead as iorfa can score a few and help stop us conceeding a few via set pieces, could be worth double figure points in a season that. If one of cb's form drops he deserves a chance at cb too, hes an asset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continually out of position and taking himself out of the game trying to win tackles and headers in bad positions in first half. Reach has never been or will be a left back. He has no defensive attributes needed to ever be a decent full back. Away from home playing 4 at the back is deffo not suited to AR. His best position is a real conundrum for me. I started to think his best attribute is his energy and ability to maintain lots of running through out the game. Putting him n a certain position takes the chance to up his tempo away from him. I would like to see him with a more free role to press and dribble more effectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he is still available That’s why it was so important for us to bring Hector back, he totally bossed things at the back. Lees and Borner are a good pairing, but as we saw in pre season, they can be a bit vulnerable in the air. I’m presuming Bates may have been brought in to plug that, though I know little about him. Iorfa’s height at set pieces might be useful, but his lack of awareness in the defensive part of his game, especially at full back, won’t help stop the crosses coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timrud Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I would drop Palmer, the question is would you have Fox or Palmer on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
