Sadly it's my closest away ground (Well TWS is but I flat out refuse to go there) so I feel obliged to go every time
It's between him, Smith and Woods to replace Allahyar. I think he'll go with Smith as a like for like swap. Tufan is probably the least likely of the three. It's easy to say things like "has to start" but he did start one of those home games over Christmas and we still struggled to score. He can be very good but he's not the guaranteed creativity people make out he is when he's left out.
I don't think Woods will come in. I cant really see how that would work. I think he'll go with Tyler but this 442 variation we've been playing would suit Tufan more. He looked very good last week against significantly better opposition than we're playing today
If Woods was to come in it'd be Docherty on the right wing again probably. It's a lineup we've played a few times.
I think we look visibly better with Doch central though. And I hope we've progressed playing work horses at wide. It's helped to drag us out of a relegation battle but I'm hoping we look to be a bit more adventurous now. Players like like Smith & Tufan are noticeably fitter too. I don't envy LR having to pick the 18 for today
