I can't see MR changing the team around much, maybe just bringing Lati back in, given how he said he was impressed with the performance against Bristol. Unless the likes of O'hare are suddenly deemed fit enough but even then I can only see them making the bench.
MR was also talking about pace in the wide forward positions, and I wonder if he's maybe wondering about trying Wright in a role like that to see if it works better for him, as we're not seeing a lot from him the way we're using him so far. That would have to lead to a change in formation, with probably Tatsu as a left forward, meaning one of Godden or Simms will likely miss out as I can't see either of them playing as a wide forward.
I think I'd like to see a back three of Binks, Kitching and Lati as we need to start finding out who can take over from Fadz. Kitching was captain at Barnsley and is supposedly a leader and although left-sided has the physique to play in the middle.
I agree with BSF about how us keeping possession, especially high up the pitch, makes it harder for us to break teams down because there is so little space to create an opportunity, while at the same time leaving a lot of space behind us for a potential counter attack. I'm all for having possession, but we also need to be willing to get the ball to the attackers quickly when even a half chance arises to get the opposition out of position. We've not got the incisive passing of Hamer anymore to unlock defences but surely we've got someone capable of playing a ball accurately enough to space for forwards to run onto.
When we have players back I'd like to see Tatsu at LWB, especially at home, with MvE down the right. This should cause problems for the opposition if we can get them forward enough. Due to the desire to get them forward, I'd play the two DCM of Sheaf and Eccles, and I'd be tempted to go with two ACM's of Allen and O'Hare, with Simms as a lone striker. But that's for the future.
