We wanted a more adventurous attacking line-up You can see the thinking. Usual two strikers - aargh - but Boggy coming in as an additional striker from wide right, where he is effective for Malta with Mifsud. Anderson and Andranik to boss the centre-middle. JCR - well, I hope that he does spend some time on the wing, but let him drift occasionally if it gets us a goal. I agree that it might look less robust defensively, although the back four is the same which has done well and the two centre-midfielders can both defend well. Worth having Kayode on the bench, in spite of what folk will say - again, attacking intentions if needed and he did score twice at Watford last season when everyone thought he couldn't hit the proverbial barn door. Devaney and Hammill up our sleeve. Credit Davey this time for going for it from the off. I sincerely hope it doesn't backfire. Trouble is - if you gamble on attack and it doesn't work, who do you bring on?? Not more defenders, that's for sure. Best case secenario = 2-0 to the Reds with Teymurian getting at least one of them. He just might be the surprise package like Leon was last season. Worst case scenario = we fall behind and can't catch up = 2-1 to Watford. You Redzzzzz!
