    Id prefer him to Watters.

        Not sure I do and I’m not sure they should be the options either.

          Looks like he's gone narrow with a 442 to me.
          O'Dowda might be allowed to roam a bit to give a bit of width with one of the forwards covering.
          Who knows what to expect :shrug:

            It looks 3 5 2 or 5 3 2 to me.

            I really hope Ng or Simpson arent LB.

              That's no 442, surely?

                Maybe but at least it looks like he is trying something a little different with two up top, hopefully Harris and Robinson can get something going between them.

                  No chance, 5-3-2 effectively.
                  You wouldn't mind it if we had a creative midfielder in there and good wingbacks, but we don't.

                    No. If it was that would be a bonkers team line up.

                      Looking at it again probably 532.

                      Feck knows what it'll end up like though :hehe:

                        Odd to go with a back 5 and drop Nkounkou who looked good going forward but not defensively, as is not playing one creative midfielder when you have the security of 3 centre backs

                          Sawyers should be in for Ralls.

                            It looks literally like a vote of no confidence in his players to me.
                            He's not confident enough in his centre-backs to play a 2-man pairing, and he's not confident enough in his central midfielders to play 2 in there and allow them to be put under a bit more pressure.
                            It seems a complete waste to stick 2 up front in this scenario as we have less width and zero creativity through the middle.

                              I dont think he has confidence in the 2 centre backs.

                              As for playing 2 in the centre hes picked a side to battle by the looks. Id have played Colwill or Sawyers.

                                Agree. Whilst Harris isn't the answer to our goal scoring problems, i actually think he's half decent footballer but a bit of an enigma in regards to what his best position is. Plus we might need these players next season in Lee Juan :angry:
