On one hand Bidwell defends him out of the game but the other Dasilva pushes him back and stays on the front foot
On one hand Bidwell defends him out of the game but the other Dasilva pushes him back and stays on the front footWho deals with Norton Cuffey better? JDS or Bidwell.
I think he only played Latibeaudiere in midfield because both Torp and Kelly weren't sufficiently fit. Both of those are much better than him in midfield but I like him in defence.He played Lati, Eccles and O'Hare against Bristol. Not trusting his fitness he brought Torp on later. Playing Lati totally in line with MR's 'safety first' approach. Hope to be proved overly gloomy

The calls to play JDS seem a bit premature to me. As a fanbase we get very carried away if a player has one good game, or one bad game. He has been really poor this season and whilst he did play well against SW, I wouldn't be in a rush to play him if Bidwell is fit.
That being said, I don't feel Norton-Cuffy is really any kind of threat whatsoever. He'll probably score now though!
I agree he needs to improve, but the only tangible proof of his improvement as a striker can only be measured by scoring goals. He really needs to start tucking away chances more often than not (like the gilt-edged one he missed vs Sheff Wed the other night). I think there will be opportunities for him against Millwall and all I’m saying is he needs to put them away.Why? We've scored loads more this season without anyone hitting double figures yet. He needs to improve but we're doing fine with him in the side.

Kitching is banned still so I expect Binks will come in place of him. Whether Thomas displaces Lats is the main question as he was captain the other night and may continue in the role in the absence of Sheaf / Kitching?

I think it is a really close call. Dasilva started the season well but his form went down and Bidwell was rightly brought in and played well to justify his position. But Bidwell has gone through a similar drop off in performances in recent weeks.Josh Eccles captain.
Bidwell is on a run of poor form, similar to the start of the season when he came on TBH. Dasilva had a good game. It would be pretty poor man management IMO to not reward that.
I don't think Saka is a one trick pony but I'm with you on this . Teams become very aware of players who can influenceAfter Bristol, If Lati plays in midfield I will be very disappointed. But sadly I expect he will. I would have Vik, Josh and Callum myself
It is commonly being said that Saka needs a rest. I just wonder if teams have done their homework in advance and have worked out what he does. What we are actually seeing is a lack of effectiveness. The opposition are under instructions to get him to cut in and as high up the pitch as possible. They are not stupid. This is now a measure of just how good a long term asset Saka is.
They can’t double up on saka Ohare wright torp and mveI don't think Saka is a one trick pony but I'm with you on this . Teams become very aware of players who can influence
Used to go and watch them occasionally when I lived in Deptford, the stand to the left of the away fans was an interesting experience.
Needs more back up from his team mates. Get in the ref’s ear, crowd around the dude fouling him etcSlightly worried about Saka’s lack of energy of late . I know he is being singled out for a lot of rough treatment & like at Norwich , they really targeted him, but we don’t have a Michael Doyle here anymore to dish some back & once he’s hit , I think he struggles to get back into the game .
With Allen & Sheaf out, Kelly is going to be needed over the next few weeks. He needs game time. Was excellent earlier in the seasonRobins must be looking at the fact we have 3 games in 6 days. Allen & Sheaf out until mid March too. I think Sakamoto has looked a little jaded since the Leicester game. I'd rest him until Stoke. I'd start Kelly in CM, with Torp, and Simms wide right on Sunday. Wright, Simms & Palmer could rotate during the game. Bradley Stretton has been on the bench recently. wide forward. Is he an option off the bench at all, along with Tavares?

So you drop Eccles for Kelly?With Allen & Sheaf out, Kelly is going to be needed over the next few weeks. He needs game time. Was excellent earlier in the season
I disagree that he's been really poor! The first 2 months of the season I thought he was one of our best players (although that wasn't too difficult at the time). He's got something to offer for sure and was brilliant on Tuesday. I like Bidwell but he has had a few shaky performances, the first Wednesday away game he was abysmal so I'm not quite sure why he gets a free pass but JDS gets called really poor. I'm content with whoever he goes with at left back for now, but in general I would like good performances to be rewardedThe calls to play JDS seem a bit premature to me.

No but he’s going to have to play some minutes here and thereSo you drop Eccles for Kelly?
I think he has been a poor signing in general so far. A lot of bad performances where he has been standout for the wrong reasons.
I agree he played well earlier in the week (against a pretty weak and second string Sheffield Wednesday), but I do not agree that he was good earlier in the season. There was much talk on here about why he was playing and why he had the position when Bidwell was there. As soon as Bidwell came back in it was clear there was light and day between the two of them. It seemed baffling that JDS had been playing all along and why the manager was picking him, and it was called out by many.
Like I said before, even if your view is different on the player in this occasion; our fans do knee-jerk on one good game or one bad game. Simms against Leeds was another wank-fest that ended up being short lived. Over history JDS hasn't impressed me at all. Whilst Bidwell has not played too well in the last couple of games, I still don't fancy swapping him out for JDS.
Should be ok to arrive about 5 to thenClub expecting 25,000
We need the second half one from Tuesday not the first half one1-0 slightly worried about our midfield

Where are turnstiles 42-45, we have opted for the West Stand tomorrow for a change. Are they through the Atrium or at the corner with the North stand
I imagine the queues are quieter there ?
