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

 

 

I think a straight swap of Bannan for Lee. Maybe put Murphy to bench too but Lee is certainly due a rest.

Freshen up:

 

Westwood

 

Odubajo iorfa Borner reach

                     Hutch

  Harris bannan luongo ff

                     Rhodes

 

Iorfa cb for pace to push up,

Lees missed header and poor passing

At milwall

 

Left inside forward needs more support

from a left footed overlapping lb imo

 

Bring lee on for hutch, murphy for ff

 

Attack from ko

 

 

Dont you think we have looked better attacking up the left with Palmer and Harris, rather than the right with Mo and Reach, Mo and Murphy, Dom and Murphy?

 

Palmer has been really threatening so far imo and fed Harris superbly.

I agree we need to be careful not to over use Lee. I was surprised he started yesterday with the other options we now have in midfield.

 

I think resting Lee is an opportunity to drop the midfield three and go 442 with Rhodes / Fletcher or Rhodes / Nuhiu up front. Hutchinson also shouldn't be playing every game with his injury record. 

 

Bannan and Reach in midfield for me, plenty of running for the opposition to worry about, and let the back four do the defending.

 

Let's go for a 5-4 win getting the ball out wide to create chances from there. 

 

You have nothing to lose Lee Bullen

I assume Lee will be used Sat Sat, rather than Sat Tues or Tues Sat. Makes more sense to have 7 days off at present. Same for Fletch. It’s not just how many games, it’s how close together.

Better to rest them for one game, than lose them for three to six games. 

 

Midweek fixtures are where our larger squad should become an advantage. 

 

And I'm not suggesting you play the entire second string on a Tuesday night either, that would be foolish. Some of the older players, with injury records, should have been rested yesterday or should be rested next weekend. Maybe Bannan not starting yesterday was an example of this.

Murphy is 24, has proved he can do it in this league and went for a hefty price tag not long ago. You don’t just drop him after one cagey performance 

 

I’d play the same team we played against Barnsley, but with bannan coming back in for the rested Lee

Yes left better but more down to harris imo, right could be at least as good with moses supporting a winger tho, iorfas a natural cb.

 

Unlikely but if ff came in for murphy he could play on right with harris staying left, but thought ff probably a better finisher who will naturally drift into no10 when apt and harris pacier for byline on favoured right foot.

 

Nothing wrong with swapping wingers after 25mins tho to give fb's a different problem!

 

We've got a strong squad so should probably use it to keep it fresh, especially with these midweek games and nobody should be guaranteed a start imo

There is nothing stopping us playing FF as number 10 or Centre Forward with Murphy and Harris staying on the wings. We've got so many options as striker we need to be playing two up front in my opinion. Changing the first team, utilising the squad should keep the opposition guessing too. 

 

We can't assume Luton will play exactly as they did in the last game either. We should concentrate on what we can do too attack teams and create chances. 

 

Mix it up

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.

It's nothing personal Holm.. I'm going to have to neg you..look how close we are in the approval ratings..:tango:

Keeper and back four picks itself

 

Westwood

 

odubajo

Lees

Borner

Palmer

 

The midfield is difficult for us to pick without speaking to the players and medical staff.

 

is Bannan 100%?

can Lee Play again?

Is it wise with Hutch?

 

On balance, we need Lee and Hutch fit for the season. We’ll certainly need Hutch for Preston.  I think I’d rest both of them.

 

Therefore Reach and Bannan in the centre for me, with a throw up between Pelepussy and playing Luongo slightly out of position.  Round pegs and round holes, I’d go for Pelepussy.

 

I’d stick with Murphy, he needs matches and I’ve already made 4 changes. So Murphy and Harris out wide. For similar reasons to Hutch I’d swap Fletch with Rhodes and pray that Rhodes takes his chance.

 

so in summary:-

 

Westwood

 

Odubajo

Lees

Borner

Palmer

 

Reach

Pelepussy

Bannan

 

Murphy

Rhodes

Harris

 

subs:-

 

Dawson

Iorfa

Hutch

Luongo

Forestieri

Nuhiu

Fletcher

Could be. Possibly Lee in midfield, Reach in wide attack and Murphy benched after a poor performance yesterday. One of 2 scenarios for me.

I’d like us to go back to the 442 that worked so well at the end of last season, but still imagine it’ll be a 433. 

 

Westwood

 

Odubajo

Lees

Borner

Palmer

 

Reach

Hutch

Bannan

Harris

 

Rhodes

Fletcher

Rhodes not deserving of a start; FF in place of him would be better. Unfortunately can't see Bullen picking FF.
