Collins Sollbauer Helik Anderson Brittain Mowatt Palmer Styles Morris Woodrow Adebayajo Subs Walton Chaplin Kane Schmidt Frieser Moon Odour Sibbick Miller
Harsh on Walton but we have our best performance of the season without him? Sentiment gets you defeated. I'd consider keeping Sibbick in there at the back maybe at the expense of Andersen as I think Sollbauer is a demi God.
Walton in the nets for me. Usual back 3 and wing backs. Mowatt and Palmer in the middle. Upfront is Woodrow, Morris and Chaplin. Adeboyejo and Frieser to come on in the 60th minute.
Cardiff regardless of there recent form will be a big test for us and I’m expecting Walton to be bombarded with crosses and long throws big Mick isn’t stupid he’ll know our weaknesses.
Nothing to do with sentiment but everything to do with Walton being our no 1 goalie. But if Vsl feels Collins is better suited to play against Cardiff then that's fine.
We also kept a clean sheet against a slightly weakened team. We can do better, we know that. Hopefully a few more additions to bolster squad and what a chance we have
I thought Sibbick gave us extra pace at the back. Sollbauer looked sluggish when he came on and was caught out a couple of times. I thought Palmer played really well. I assume he must have picked up a knock as subbed at half time. Still not overly impressed with Kane yet. Collins had very little to do all match. Mowatt excellent as was Styles,Brittain. I would hope Morris gets a run out. Frieser lacks end product I think Morris will be a better option. Miller needs to be loaned out or moved on.
I don't understand these calls for Collins to play because we kept a clean sheet. They didn't have a shot on target and the one time he did come for the ball he fumbled it
I prefer Palmer to Kane but agree with the gaffers assessment that Palmer looked knackered. That being the case I would switch from yesterday and start with Kane. Palmers control and ability to put his foot on the ball will work against a tiring team. I have no qualms about Kane starting.
I imagine Walton & Sollbauer will be recalled by Valerien, as they have both been first choice selections with him. Seeing as he generally gets it right, I'm more than happy to leave it to the knowledgeable gaffer.
