Radlinger Williams Andersen Bambo Odour Halme Thomas Mowatt Brown Chaplin Woodrow Subs Collins Pinillos Dougall Barhe Wilks Schmidt Only swapped brown wi Cauley to see if Cauley can get back to goal scoring ways. I know he always plays deep but I don’t think he’s happy playing there. Also wilks to come on up top last 10 mins might put added pressure on opponents defence if he’s pulled his finger art.
I think we'll see two or three changes to protect the energy levels we'll need. He won't switch Brown and Woodrow as it appears, as an outsider, that he thinks their best positions are where they play currently. Don't agree that Woodrow looks unhappy - he doesn't need to come searching for the ball anymore. Schmidt might start as Brown was under the weather heading in to Swansea. Could see Dougall featuring somewhere too. The back four though will remain untouched after the best back to back performances of the season.
Thought Williams looked knackered to be honest Granty, but who do we play there instead if we rest him ?
Only other option really is Cavaré but can’t see it happening. Probably a position that needs strengthening.
Bit worried that Chaplin is overtaking Woodrow re goal scoring simply because strikers like to score goals and he is one who could command a good price in January. Having said that you stick with the team we have, maybe using subs sooner if they're tiring. A loss to start the New Year needs to be avoided imo.
I think Chaplin is having a good run in front of goal and it just a purple patch. I think it's Woodrows goals as an out and out striker that will prove more valuable. Form is temporary class is permanent.
We could do with making 3 or 4 changes to keep everyone fit/fresh but im guessing that might be more likely against crewe at weekend. Plus who would u bring in? Thiam? Cavare? Bahre? Mcgeehan? Not much to choose from there...
That’s a shame, I liked the idea of throwing the lad a bone and seeing if the appearance off the subs bench might motivate him further
Thomas deserved his start, over Bahre, yesterday. But I like having someone with game changing pace to come off the bench. I think he shines more running at tired defenders, so for that reason only, I would start Bahre.
Agree. I think he makes more of an impact coming off the bench. But like you said, he deserves his go in the starting line up.
