Dovin
MVE Lati Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf Eccles Rudoni
Simms Norm

But saddles posts probably suggests that BTA is starting.

We must get something today. 29 points from 24 games so far is 1.2 points per game. Carry that on to the end of the season and we will end up on 55 points which is scarily close to the relegation zone

Agreed

However with how wank Plymouth Cardiff Hull are i think safety will be about 47 48 this year

 

[Winny the Bish]

4-4-2 diamond maybe?

Dovin
MVE - Thomas - Lati - Bidwell
Sheaf
Eccles - Torp
Rudoni
Simms - Bassette

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

If ,as has been suggested in here, that there are a fair few changes that’s brilliant news.

Shows that Lampard can try things differently and wants to shake the tree a little with some of lacklustre players!

Defo three at the back and two up top.

I just don't think 3 at the back is a good idea. When you have a group of rubbish CBs I don't see the benefit in playing 3 of the fuckers.

If we do go to a back 5 I think it's probably more to do with the fact we don't have any wide players if Sakamoto is out.

I would go

Dovin

Lati - Thomas - Kitching - Bidwell

Sheaf - Eccles

MVE - Rudoni - BTA

Simms


Gives us a bit of protection on our right against Sainz and can easily drop into a back 5 if needs be.

 

[Snaily]

Fair few changes today

Think hes trying something different

Sheaf removed from the shop window, packed up and out for DPD delivery to Leeds?

 

[Skybluekyle]

We're going to share with Bobby Thomas what coloured shirt he needs to pass to?

Never seen a player misplace so many passes as he did on New Year's Day!

 

[GIMOC]

tomorrow could be our PNE from last season where Lampard needs to try something different

who knows it might work

as I thought

could be turning point this season with the changes

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Sakamoto being injured is rumour at this point right?

 

[GIMOC]

I won’t say much other than eyebrows will be raised

some would call it a weird set up

time will tell

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It’s a back 5 then

 

[Jamesimus]

Bobby Thomas as a lone central striker?

 

[Lamps]

Maybe we're going to try 8 0 2 today.

Least it’s trying something new.

 

[shepardo01]

Collins up top? Great stats in goal contributions this season.....

 

[JSL]

I hope the mentioned expected changes aren't that MVE and Sheaf are not playing

 

[Jamesimus]

Sakamoto being injured is rumour at this point right?

He was in training the other day I think people on here pointed out.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

My prediction:

Lati out the squad Cus he’s off
Tavares starts
MVE dropped
Kitching starts

 

[Nick]

Rapha lone striker

 

[CovValleyBoy]

I'm watching the Stoke game today, so won't be on the match thread.

Fk that, Stoke are dreadful.

 

[covcity4life]

He seemed to rubbish reports of mve to gala in the conference didn't he

 

[Jamesimus]

My prediction:

Lati out the squad Cus he’s off
Tavares starts
MVE dropped
Kitching starts

Go on then, I’ll do this too!

My prediction:
Three CBs to start (Lati, Bobbert, Kitchin)
Sheaf on the bench
Allen back in
Simms and the Hound up top

 

[Lamps]

Lampard in midfield?

He must be frustrated with how our midfield has been.

 

[Jamesimus]

He seemed to rubbish reports of me to gala in the conference didn't he

I imagine he’d have done this regardless.

Fair play to you for being able to understand that cryptic post

 

[tommy hutch legend]

Would like to see tavares given some minutes today at some point

 

[Jamesimus]

I did initially think @covcity4life was going to a gala day and was going to cancel his plans, but I got there in the end.

I agree, unfortunately it's Norwich away which is one of our biggest boggy sides,
Even when we were decent we never performed well there for some reason.
I've been there 8 or 9 times over the last 40 years and never seen us get anything. Thankfully I'm not there today, so if we do win it's me that's the issue

Can't see us getting anything there today, especially with our backwards, sideways, backwards passing and no creative option.

Hopefully today will finally convince Doug that this "Deck" desperately needs help in the transfer window, and it's time to act.

Two goalkeepers. Keep the score down a bit

 

[stevefloyd]

As long as that midget isn't included in the team

Woke up this morning feeling fine
Doug Kings deck was on my mind
I was optimistic
like I know I should
Then I realised
We're no fuckin good

Hes on the bench

4 from the bench last game are starting
