He desperately needs a loan where he can play every week in defence. With Aji back and once Seelt returns, we should make finding that loan a priority. If we end up needing to push a player into midfield for Millwall then it really needs to be Luke IMO. Also has the advantage of pushing us towards a land of the giants back four.
Agree about Hjelde going out on loan when others get back fit. Definitely don’t agree with O’Nien in midfield. He’s nowhere near good enough to play in the middle of the park at this level imo. Keep him in defence.
One game solution. I agree that I don't want him in midfield. I just want the other options even less. Let's hope Browne makes it - even if I'm not impressed by him either.
Keep Neil as the DM, and have O'Nien and Rigg as the two 8s ? It might suit O'Nien to be further forward than being the one to receive the ball on the half turn from the centre backs.
With Alese coming back, could he play in CDM for one game in an emergency if Browne is injured? 09 Mepham, Ballard, Cirkin ................Alese ............Rigg Neil Mayenda Connelly Isidor
If I see Isidor out wide one more time I might spontaneously combust... there is so much about his game that makes us good when he is up top, such a waste when he is out wide
I wouldn’t mind him out wide as much if we had some quality through the middle still but that’s not happening right now. Isidor central and a proper winger wide has to be the way to go.
Yeah, Isidor's height and his hold up ability really make the CB's wary, especially his constant attempts at running in behind. As soon as we bring Connolly on, the CB's don't have that same worry.
9 more league games until the transfer window opens. Fingers crossed we’re still in the automatic promotion mix then
Dunno if we'll still be top two, but I definitely expect we'll still be in the mix. Given our injuries and suspensions that's pretty good. Just need to add a couple - and better integrate the ones we have!
So who plays left wing against Millwall if Mundle is out injured? Its a huge ask for Watson to play there
Could go 5 at the back and play wingbacks? That being said watsons not going to get better by sitting on the bench so wouldn’t be against starting him either
O/T but Patterson Mepham Ballard Alese Cirkin Rigg Neil O'Nien Watson Mayenda Isidor Stay solid down the right, attack down the left.
Aye you’ve stumped me there haha there’s no one is there, luke at a push and put hjelde and left centre half?
