Holmowl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 This could be a feisty thread. Lets have your Xl and your subs, seeing as how there has been much said about our bench v Millwall. Westwood Odubajo Lees Borner Palmer Forestieri Bannan Hutchinson Reach Harris Rhodes Iorfa didn’t do enough to take the shirt off Odubajo Lee shouldn’t play Sat Tues Sat yet Surely FF must start unless he’s blotted his copybook with Bully and the big ? Rhodes v Fletch? Not worth risking Fletcher’s season for one game. Subs Dawson Iorfa Fletcher Murphy Luongo Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no room for sentiment in Football and Pace win's every time. All we are missing now is out & out pace up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Go back to basics and put bannan back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) I think Fletcher will be capable of playing again. I’d give Lee a rest though.

Harris is undroppable and if the medics think he is up to Tues and Saturday he must play. Murphy wasn’t great yesterday. Reach or FF should play wide. Murphy is the one to take the bench. He will get on Im sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we revert back to the tried and tried and tried and tried and failed use of FF as a central forward I despair. We’ve 6 points from two aways and a home, playing a very balanced and very attacking 433. I totally understand your love for FF, and 433 is made for him.

This formation allows the wingers to get crosses on the box for Fletcher. It's gives Nando the freedom to roam, which is what was needed yesterday. This allows him to go wide or down the middle, as long as it's high up the pitch. Back 5 explains itself and with regards to midfield, one (or two) of the big boys needs to get dropped to get the balance right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we never see it again. Wasted outstanding talent if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 If Fletcher is to be rested.. I don't see what we've got to lose by giving Winnall a go..btw I expect the same from Luton as got from Millwall so FF must be considered for the bench at least..

I was in the north for the Wycombe game, some people I knew were in the sarf, and I decided to go look for them after the game. crossing the field at the western end just outside the edge of the 18 yard box I was shocked and appalled how uneven the pitch was.

Do you think Winnall looks like a lone central striker? I don’t think he offers even as much as Rhodes. I would try Rhodes. Then I would try Nuhiu. Then I would consider 442.

fudge27 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Westwood Odubajo Lees Borner Palmer Harris Bannan Luongo Reach FF Rhodes Not sure on Hutch, Lee, and Fletch with 3 games in a week, and all are very important for us.

WalthamOwl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Think Luongo will start. Probably rest Lee. Would like to see FF at least on the bench, maybe a place for Winnall on the bench also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
