Simply because a seven day gap is so much better than the three day gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in previous seasons you have a good point. But we now have pretty much like for like quality to come in so we are not risking weakening the team. Lee must surely be eased back in. Luongo or Reach can replace no problem. Murphy played Saturday. FF is hardly weakening the team. Fletcher is the one we will miss most. But surely we have to put faith in Rhodes and the team being good enough v Luton at home, so that a fresh and healthy Fletcher can refuel to play at Preston.

Agreed but Rhodes Teaming up with FF Upfront with Fletcher on the bench don’t want to risk is season for playing two games in a row So close together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 How well do we think Forestieri would do playing on the right of a front three? Harris is an automatic pick for the left hand side already so he's going to have to shift to fit into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Westwood Odubajo Lees Borner Palmer Hutchinson Bannan Reach Forestieri Fletcher Harris Subs: Dawson, Iorfa, Pelupessy, Luongo, Murphy, Rhodes, Nuhiu Revert to the back 4 that did so well in first two games. Lee should not be risked. Could say the same for Hutch but give him 60 minutes and then put Luongo on. Worried about Fletcher too but I’d play him here and maybe leave him out on Saturday. Nuhiu is not everyone’s cup of tea but Preston are scared shitless of him so change it there. Forestieri should definitely start as dropping him will have hopefully lit a fire under his belly. If not we may as well sell him to a foreign club this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is an automatic pick for the left hand side already so he's going to have to shift to fit into the team. He has played wide right over 30 times in his career so shouldn’t be a problem. Obviously he is likely to go outside the full-back more than he does from the left, and he possesses a superb final ball. We also saw that Bullen wants his widemen to swap mid-game. Swapping between the lightning Harris to the skillful Forestieri could be very difficult for full-backs. Harris himself has had a shocking injury record. Lets hope that is behind him, but there is still likely to be plenty of LW opportunity for Forestieri. But ultimately this is FF’s last chance to get back to near his 15/16 self. Lets hope the penny has dropped that he has to apply himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned Klopp and Pep as someone said thsg it was a Carlos tactic to rest players as a stick to beat him with, I pointed out that the best gaffers in the game do it too so I think it was relevant and not in any way bizarre.

torryowl Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We have a decent squad and for me it's how they play rather than who plays ......2 wide men and striker is the way to go . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozzy85 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I've tried to stay off here last couple of days. After watching highlights it looks like we were just unlucky, any other day we'd have scored 3/4 goals at Millwall. It just wasn't our day. For that reason I'd maybe bring back Obadajo and give Dave a run up top to rest Fletcher. I was gutted we lost obviously but the effort and work rate was there as far as I can see.

Jon Newsome Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Too many changes is never a good thing unless absolutely necessary, 2 or 3 for me and that's only for the good of resting Hutch, Fletcher and Lee. The only thing we were guilty of the other day is not taking chances so I'd have no problem seeing Forestieri and Rhodes come into the side for this one, Luongo for Hutchinson perhaps too, Lee is a machine he'll be fine to play Tuesday I reckon. Oh and Bannan back in for another change but that's to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
