McFaz is a top performer in a back 3 as his best qualities are communication, organisation heading and anticipation. In a back 4 I think he would be exposed.Lot of flapping about our defeat at West Brom, admittedly we didn’t play well throughout the team but at the end of the day it was only a 1-0 defeat against an in form team and we could have scored goals, one a bit of a sitter. Will be interesting which way Robins goes v Luton with Eccles, Godden fit and possibly McFadz, does he stay with wing backs, I’d be tempted to move away from that especially at home but then is McFadzean fit enough for a back four. I think Eccles and Godden should start and we go with a front two but I’m not the manager.
McFadz will be ok, all he's got to do is head the fucking ball away!! the young lads can do the chasing around.Starting line up is a tough one. Hopefully McFadzean is fit to start but I'd imagine he'll be rusty.
I'd keep Allen in the team as you lose that energy in midfield without and maybe bench Palmer for a second striker.
Eccles in for Norton-Cuffy
Who would you get to support Gyokeres? I guess Maguire would be the most likely fit as a hold up player.I don't think that team would work.
Eccles and Sheaf would be doing the same job. It would be like against Wrexham with Kelly and Sheaf. Also playing Hamer out of position would reduce his impact on the game considerably.
What we need is support to Gyokeres. Playing him on his own up front hasn't been working for over a month now. Teams have worked it out and are putting two or three defenders on him knowing that if they stop him we are highly unlikely to score. We need to give him support. I am afraid that team wastes our two best players.
There has been a bit of a change in the way Gyok is playing, he's standing defenders up and getting towards the byline to put in crosses, wonder if it's a future tactic for him to work with Godden?Who would you get to support Gyokeres?

We've tried Godden up top with Gyok and it doesn't work. Godden just seems to be a passenger as Vik puts his head down. Godden's skills are putting the ball in the net rather than linking up and if he's not getting picked out by Vik and we've only got one AM who may be looking to play him in he may as well not be on the pitch.
Hamer has the best passing ability and vision in the team, so if anyone can play through balls and create chances it's him. Plus further up the pitch Hamer may have more opportunity to shoot from range, something he again seems better at than the rest of the team.
I admit Eccles and Sheaf together would appear quite defensive, but if all they have to do is disrupt play and then lay it off to Hamer/Palmer to work some magic then so be it.
I'm not saying this team is a surefire winner, but I feel we need to change things up and there aren't many particular options available.
I've noticed this too in our most recent games without O'Hare, fuck we miss that guy.There has been a bit of a change in the way Gyok is playing, he's standing defenders up and getting towards the byline to put in crosses, wonder if it's a future tactic for him to work with Godden?
Absolutely Gyokeres and Godden up front! We're at fuckin home, we should be positive and attack minded otherwise we'll be playing 10 yards further back, more pressure on the defence which is our weakness at the moment.Wilson

Probably lose cos it’s Luton innit and they’re on fire. But we’re at home so who knows. Optimistic 2-1
Yet some believed he was shit aswell.I've noticed this too in our most recent games without O'Hare, fuck we miss that guy.
I would play Godden with Gyokeres. I don't agree that those two can't play together and in fact they did so to devastating effect against the best teams last season. Otherwise it would be Walker. I don't know about Maguire, having seen very little of him, although I must admit I wasn't at all impressed by his substitute appearance at West Brom.Who would you get to support Gyokeres?

have we ever beaten luton at home?
Hopefully McFadzean is back in from the start and we see a marked improvement at the back, Panzo seems like he might need a bit of time out from the starting 11 to be honest. Really difficult game this one I fear, hope we can sneak a win though and we've certainly produced more surprising wins than this would be over recent seasons.
Don’t think he will be I’m sure Robins has said he has a small tare in his hamstring.If Rose is available I'd have him back in as well for Doyle

For anybody having a dull Tuesday... PUSB
I'd worry a bit about who plays on the left in that scenario but i dont think Doyle or Panzo have been great recently so Rose might get a look-inIf Rose is available I'd have him back in as well for Doyle
Wouldn’t be surprised if they play 3 midfielders either, I’ve felt that the better teams have worked us out recently. Swamp Hamer and Sheaf and we struggle to get the ball out of our half and end up lumping it long to Gyokeres.Luton sort of do, they had Woodrow just behind two strikers v Cardiff though I think they'll have 3 central midfielders away against us
I don't even think that's being 'worked out', it's the consequence of being so short of players and specifically a certain attacking midfielder. Chris Wilder pointed it out just before he got sacked.Wouldn’t be surprised if they play 3 midfielders either, I’ve felt that the better teams have worked us out recently.

Now 3-0Luton losing 2-0 at Grimsby….
I was there and I'd say they put out a similar standard team to what we did against Wrexham, where on paper you'd expect them to win but they made enough changes that you could tell they just weren't quite clicking. They brought on 4 subs to end up with basically the same team as their last league game but it was all a bit late by then. Grimsby just went for them from the start and the game was gone by half time, their keeper made some important saves too.It certainly will not sure if they've made lots of changes.
