Varane for Hayden , I know he's been off the boil but he's a better player.
Saito starting is a must as he drives forward and wants to make things happen.

We've been garbage playing 2 wingers and 2 forwards recently - we get overrun in midfield. I'd leave Poku out in favour of 3 in midfield. We'd still have Saito, Kone and Burrell up front and Burrell could pull slightly right-ish to give us a bit of width. I feel him and Kone are too close together in past two games and confusing each other.

You'd hope three in midfield would make us a bit stiffer and less easy to get through. You could argue the toss about who the three midfielders would be but I'd start with Madsen, Chair and Vale. Chair with strict instructions to be a "No.10" and NOT drift wide. Vale doing the holding role and Madsen glueing it together.

I think our best CB pairing is Morrison and Dunne so I'd shift Jimmy inside and give Smyth a go at RB. Obviously RND at LB.

No reason the players I've left out don't get a run-out at some point whether as subs to rescue the game or shore us up to see out a win.

Irrespective of the personnel I really want to see a 4-3-3ish look to us as opposed to the disastrous 4-2-4ish of past two games.

Why not play Dunne as defensive midfield and Morgan at RB? Dunne has played DM before and might prove to be more robust?

All I would say against that mate is when we play players in make shift situations it goes pear shaped. Let’s just play them in their natural/preferred positions

Just sacked will still, FFS absolute #####.
Couldn't wait could they?
Oh no let's sack him before QPR

Wonder if they'll make a move for JS whilst they're in town.....

I was just thinking the same, new manager bounce and all that but they do only have 3 days to adjust so fingers crossed.

Is there any chance Morgan or Kolli can get a run out? They must be totally hacked off see this nonsense from the bench!!

Loan them both out to gain experience if we have to, but these young lads aren't going to develop as players sitting on their ar&es. Free up their wages and bring in more experienced plsyets on loan if we have to.

Agree at least one of them to get more tempo in our home game

Someone with a bit more expertise on stats may get the answer but I’m pretty sure when Warnock took us up he played best 11 regularly and changes were only for injuries same for redknapp ?

Last few years we’ve been on a good run swap it about and all of a sudden we’re win 5 lose 6 patches all too often

As I said above most successful sides Liverpool 80s Utd gooners invincibles are stable regular starters they win the game in 60 mins they switch it up with squad we looked better with less options than 23 fit

need a win but don’t think we will get one draw 1-1

[Sleeping Giants]

I don't imagine this will go through in time for him to feature against us but Saints to sign Oriol Romeu:

Armstrong always seems to score against us .

Problem is that we have had so many players out injured so far this season. However; I hope he will go for a more settled team from now on.

From WLS Poku out injured.

Team from my OP - Smyth instead of Poku to start.

We do have loads of injury prone players though don’t we!!
