Same shape different personnel? Kemp left Sotiriou middle Wilkinson right?

Coulson being handed the blame for Saturday or picked up a knock?

Same formation, hopefully not the same slow ponderous football

Presuming Coulson is injured it looks like a slap in the face to Turley promoting Thompson over him. Don't have a problem but just saying. Going with the same front three with teh same shape is the problem, Sotiriou can't lead the line, as shown by the weekend. Love him to prove me wrong by netting a hat trick but suspect he will just run aimlessly at the CBs to no avail.

Can't really argue against it, only annoyance is Sotirou upfront again if he has no support and gets mans handled

We have to play fast football, move the ball quickly and with purpose, close and press down Crawley quickly and push them into errors.

If we do the above we win, it’s that simple.

Same 433 formation that doesn't work without DJ who converts one in two of the few chances we make, , same front three, same weak link at the back.. Brophy again wasted.. I am very very worried that its going to be same as..

Can't believe that we aren't starting with Abrahams up top. Sotiriou just looked completely out of his depth up front on his own at Bolton.

Seems rather clueless to me as well. Wonder if Wright will score and also if Crawley will target Sam Ling.
Sotiriou needs someone to play alongside him if he is to play the central striker role, either that or play him on the flank he is best suited to, the right and move Wilko into the central striker position.

Got a mate to check the odds earlier, only 3-1 on Wright scoring. Bookies have done their homework.

Turley sitting on the bench whilst not match fit Thompson put straight into the team ?
I can only think that he has looked good in his few days of training with us ?
