How does everyone think we'll line up? Morris is injured (pray that it's not for long!) so someone will need to come in up front. I'd go for either Oduor or Cole - though it's surprising that Cole hasn't really featured so far. Weird that he wasn't even on the bench on Saturday. Sounds like Oulare might be fit enough now so who knows who will play there! I wonder if we might also see some rotation, with either Benson coming in and Styles moving to LWB or J Williams coming in for Brittain/ Ben W. I'd like to see: Collins Sibbick Helik Kitching Brittain Palmer Styles B Williams Frieser Woodrow Cole
Based on Saturday's selection, it looks like Odour and Adebayejo are ahead of Cole in the pecking order. It would would seem strange to have either of them start, as well as B Williams, while we have Benson on the bench. For that reason, I'd switch to 3-5-2. With either Benson or Styles playing as a 10, and would replace Ben with Jordan Williams. I think his extra pace would help, and his versatility would help if we need to make system changes during the game.
No idea which forwards are fit, which are not and which are imaginary. Based on what we know, I'd expect Oduor, Woodrow and frieser to start up top.
Assuming we're sticking with the current formation and "narrow" playing style, we have to play Benson in centre midfield with Styles on the left and with AN Other replacing Morris.
We still don’t know where the Belgian lads are hiding..? We’ve gone from an abundance of strikers, to not that many..
I think it will be Collins Sibbick Helik Kitching Brittain Palmer Styles B Williams Frieser Woodrow Oulare* If Oulare is not fit probably Oduor Personally Id stick Styles at LB and Benson in the middle but I dont think that will happen
Ben Williams scares the life out of me so I'd be tempted to move styles to wing back instead of Williams and put benson and palmer in center mid
On Saturday I was hoping for Styles back out on the left with Benson and Palmer in the middle. However we got the 3 points so I can’t complain! I think the idea is to have Styles in the middle now, hence us looking at a left wing back in the transfer market. I’d expect Oduor to start in the absence of Morris, with Cole being on the bench. Maybe Oulare will appear though...
I’d like to see them line up as Collins Sibbick Helik Kitching Brittain Palmer Benson Styles Frieser Woodrow Victor* * or one of the Belgian lads if fit (for 60m), then Odour
But haven't we also said that we're looking for a midfielder as well? Based on Saturday, keeping Palmer on the pitch for 90 minutes would be handy.
Collins Sibbick, Helik,Kitching. Brittain, Palmer, Benson,Styles. Woodrow. Frieser,Cole/Adebayo. Doesn't seem too bad a team?
Palmer was struggling fitness wise before he went off,he kept stretching his hamstring,possibly cramping.
It's a shame. If he can get to a point where he can play at that level for the full 90, he'd be a top midfielder in this league.
I like the idea of having Palmer, Styles and Benson all in the team, so that could be a good way to do it. Not seen Cole yet since his return but assuming he still has his pace then I'd like to see him start in Morris's spot
Schopp has asked about a midfielder with experience but how many coaches have we had ask for that and not get their wish?! I agree about Palmer, he was absolutely class for the time he was on.
Surely Cole has got to be a better option than Odour up front. Cant see what the crack is with Odour as a forward. Chuck Oulare in. Probably better 75% fit than Victor. Woodrow, Freiser, Oulare.
