Not a bad line up. Five at the back with three CBs hasn't worked all season. They have been like a leaky tap so a change in formation isn't a bad thing. Collins J Williams Helik Anderson Brittain Gomes Hondermark Styles Iseka Morris Cole Gomes Hon
I agree and he’d be in my squad. Just wonder if he’s even an option for Saturday, given he’s been playing for the 23s, he’s likely training with them.
Playing 13 players is a start, although I don't see how it will help us. I've no idea how to clone Gomes and signing new players outside of the transfer window is illegal.
Another left field selection: Collins J. Williams, Andersen, Kitching, Vita Hondermarck, Gomes, Palmer Cole, Morris, Iseka. Woodrow, Brittain, Helik and Styles omitted to the bench. Woodrow has been out of sorts all season. How long do you keep doing the same thing and leaving out Cole and Iseka when at least they've scored goals? Brittain has been a shadow of the player he was last season and J.Williams needs a run. In fact it was only an injury to Williams last season that got Brittain in the side. Helik isn't bothered and has been an accident waiting to happen all season. Andersen is fit again an playing no nonsense at the back would benefit him. Kitching has looked half decent when I've seen him so he'd partner him in central defence. Vita would play simply because it's better than keeping an out of sorts Brittain on the right and shoe horning J. Williams in on the left. Styles hasn't looked good on the left or in central midfield so I'd give him a rest.
If Brittain and Kitching are out, looks like the options are to Keep Williams at LB and play Sibbick at RB, switch Williams to the right and play Vita or Ben Williams at LB, or go back to wingbacks with Williams on the right and Styles on the left.
Either way it's not exactly convincing. Struggled with 3 at the back all season and kitching isn't exactly a natural full back...... I wish they would just send the lad from Bayern back, what is the point in loaning someone to sit on the bench
