Just need Chaplin or Hiwula to bury a chance and get their confidence up. If we score early we should win comfortably. Hope the big crowd gets behind the team.

My only worry is their big striker and set pieces. Can see our defence crumbling at the first bit of pressure.

With any luck! In all seriousness though, I don't think I've left out anyone who is likely to score. Possibly Hiwula but he missed two sitters on Saturday and is not a winger.
You have left sterling and Thomas out...

Considering sterling setup our best chances I'd say they are more likely to contribute to goals.

Fair enough and I probably would include them if they were ours. I think Thomas could do with a rest tbh he's not as lively as he was towards the end of last year.

I wouldn't change the team aside from if Willis / Bayliss are fit again, we keep creating chances. If we bring in Doyle we'll go back to creating nothing.

We havnt won a gamw comfortably all season have we?

Agree we just need to score from an attacking POV but our dwfence needs to shape up too.

We gotta get a win sometime. No better time for it than community day

No, we've not, but earlier on this season we weren't creating anywhere near as much as we have been of late. We just need a goal from open play to calm ourselves down.

"...missed two sitters"... is a bit strong. Perhaps he could have done better but both were on target and drew saves from the GK.

You have included JCH who had two golden chances and headed both wide

Attendance 23,500.

Actual number of people in the Ricoh, 17,100.

Fair enough I just think JCH offers something more. Hiwula needs to score to be effective but JCH contributes a bit of physicality. He did well in a cameo at Wycombe and totally transformed us at Scunthorpe.
 
Team and formation I would pick for Saturday 4-3-3 bearing in mind Chaplin needs help upfront.

Burge
Sterling Davies Willis (if fit) Mason
Thomas Kelly Hiwula
Chaplin
JCH Bakayoko

Community day - big crowd = poor performance and heavy defeat. Can see this being the day the fans lose patience and a pretty horrific atmosphere by the end.

Team:
_________________Burge
Sterling___Hyam_____Willis/Davies____Mason
Thomas__Kelly___Bayliss/Westbrooke___Enobakhare
____________N.E.1_____A.N.Other

Not overly sure about Bright in front of Mason so maybe Shipley LM and Bright up front?
