Not melodramatic to state this is a massive game.
After the shit show against Luton ideally we put in a performance and a win, but a win anyhow, anyway, is the priority.
McFadzean is a loss, but Ostigard is more of a McFadzean than a Hyam/Rose, so he’ll fit into the centre role well and is more than good enough to deal with Akinfenwa. He’ll just need to show his maturity today as I’m sure they’ll try every experienced tactic they have against a young back line.
I’m sure Wilson’s confidence is absolutely crushed, but Marosi needs to come back in now.
We are a better team than Wycombe, but it’s the teams around us we seem to struggle against. If we put in a performance I have no doubt we’ll win, but it’s a big IF and is very dependent on how MR sets us up (both tactically and formation wise) and the confidence of the players.
I would give McCallum a rest as he’s been off form recently and attacking is not his strength, but we have no other options and he isn’t the only one underperforming or 50/50 performing (Kelly, James, Dabo (fitness), Hamer, Hyam, Biamou).
Big risk starting Godden, but even if we just get a strong 45 that’s fine.
