Team v Bristol Rovers

Looks like we're thinking ahead to me. To when Phillips eventually leaves.

 

I would play Earl left centre back he's the only one that's on his natural side and I think O'keeffe had his best game for us in a long while. The frontline depends on fitness and how much trust Clarke has in the new two it's great to have options and will be interesting.

 

P-P

 

Any ideas how much hes worth,got to be 3m if he can be consistent.sooner keep him like so I'd want 8mlol

 

We wanted £4 mill for him when enquiries were made in the summer.

 

Seems very low. Even now we should be looking at a few million more and if we got promoted and he started the season well, he would still have enough time on his contract to warrant holding out for as close to the ten million or so we got overall for Stones.

Humphries for Cosgrove if he’s not fit.

Would love to see him mix up formation from the off after all our woes at home. I think we need something like that to get out of the rut we’ve been in.

We could play a great 4-5-1

Flood the midfield, push on Phillips and DKD, get lots of balls into the box from Cotter and Gent

 

Any news on Cotter, Watters and Cosgrove? Not seen any injury updates

 

Providing Cosgrove is fit, I expect us to go with:

...........Slonina ...........

......MDG Pines Earl.....

.............Craig.............

Cotter Phillips Connell O'Keefe

.............DKD.............

..........Cosgrove............



I personally would like to see Gent on the left just as I like the natural left footer on that side. O'Keefe was useful Vs Crawley though as his set piece delivery was very good but DKD could do that now as he was on set pieces for Mansfield.
