Team prediction for tomorrow?

Post by gshaw »

Not much on telly now the main Christmas festivities are done, thoughts turning to the game tomorrow and having to get up early for the 1pm KO. Any thoughts on what the team might be? Unless Widdowson makes a miracle recovery the backline will need shuffling around with no RBs available...

Sargeant

Happe
Coulson
Ekpiteta
Turley

Clay
Marsh
Wright

Brophy
Angol
JMD

Or perhaps Marsh at RB instead of two CBs out of position? Interesting one for Embleton to ponder over Christmas pudding.

Ekpiteta at RB for me. Turley needs to stay in the middle.

My prediction is 10 outfield players, a goalkeeper and 7 subs. 🤣

Sorry must’ve overdone the brandy in the Christmas Pud 🥺

Clearly not enough, you've still got 11 players rather than 12 or more :lol:

Ah the old four centre halves tactic. Haven't seen that since the Tommy Taylor era

Didn't we play 4 just recently when Turley was right back and Happe left back?

What is it, flat back four with Brophy at left back, or 3-5-2 with Dayton and Brophy as wing backs???

Either way, that’s a lightweight side, too many of that starting 11 can’t compete physically.

Until KO no idea, as SF posted on the matchday thread could go a number of ways...

5-3-2 (OK 3-5-2 but we know how it ends up)
Brophy at LB
Marsh at RB

Within that Ekpiteta could be CB or RB, as could Turley. Either way the lack of cover LB really shows.
