The lads need a confidence boost after the weekend and for me we need to go out with a relatively strong side in a 3-5-2 formation. Fatigue shouldn't be an issue whatsoever at this stage and this Tuesday night game can only help us in preparation for Saturday in my opinion. -------------Steele -----Cranie--Mvoto--Kennedy Wiseman-----------------Golbourne ------------Hassell---------------- -------------------Perkins ------------Mellis -------Dagnall--O'grady Would like to see RNL and Cofie given 20 minutes or so. Although some wont agree (and I say this tentatively) however, I also think it would be beneficial to give Mcnulty a run out in the Etuhu role as we are in desperate need to plug that gap before Saturday.
Daggers usually gets goals in these games and I think it would be useful for him and O'grady to get off the mark for the season.
I think we will see Lewin make his ermm, debut. I'd be tempted to keep Dagnall in to find his scoring boots, possibly with Cofie for the first hour. If we are comfortably getting the job done, I would let O'Grady sit this one out. I think Tompole and Reuben should and will feature too.
Yeah i'd go with that too. I just hope Flicker makes an effort to plug the Etuhu gap rather than just going with Dawson who isnt able to play that role at Championship level.
I think if we'd won on Saturday it would have been nice to give the second string a game but I think we need some confidence going into the next game. Still I'd make some changes, not necessarily based on performance but just to give players a run out. So I'd go... ..............................Steele .......Cranie...............M'Voto...............McNulty Wiseman.................................................Golbourne ................Hassell................Perkins ...............................Mellis ................Dagnall................O'Grady If things are going well, I'd like to see O'Grady and Mellis rested at some point. They could be replaced by Cofie and Cywka. Could also be a game to have an experiment with the formation.
We're already good at playing 3-5-2 so I think we should use this match to practise playing a different formation. Besides, Scnuthorpe aren't going to play 2 up front against us so I don't think we need 3 central defenders. Now we have a strong squad, I think we should give a few of our second string a game since they don't really weaken our team and we should still win comfortably. -----------------Steele----------------- Wiseman M'Voto McNulty Golbourne ----------------Digby------------------- --------O'Brien-------Perkins---------- -----------------Mellis------------------ ------------O'Grady Cofie--------------
I think Flicker said he should be okay for Tuesday. He said he could have played against Wigan but he didn't want to risk him given his history of injuries.
