    RLB was talking about rotating the midfield anyway …

    … Samed and Neil can adapt I reckon.

    Think Jobe does need a rest so maybe just a precaution

    Agree with the Samed, Neil and Rigg

    Le Fee won’t move from LW till the two lads are back

    You're probably right but it must be tempting to try him central

    i noticed he did have a few spells inside at Boro …

    … perhaps because he looked at Ayling and didn’t want to see a grown man cry <wah>

    I think we can almost afford to give him a role where he is free to wander to an extent Amad would do the same, it’s Enzo’s world we’re just living in it

    Honestly dont want Jobe out. The boy is wonderful. But all of a sudden we can cope I think.

    Le Fee could move in and Roberts switch. Perhaps Poveda gets a game, or more likely Rigg outside and Neil licence to overload with Samed in. God I have no idea, so many options. Lets just keep a core of our game plan.

    Rigg Samed Neil

    That would be fine with me. Browne back on the bench I think as well. Well stocked in that area to deal with injuries.

    I would prefer Le Fee, Wilson & Mayenda. Pace and skill upfront. Forget defence lets just go all out. Without being disrespectful we are better than these and after Monday the lads will still be buzzing.

    Think jobes vital for us like so no risks can be taken. Hoping it’s just a niggle that he needs a rest from. Well stacked in midfield at least but hopefully just misses one game

    It certainly seemed like the lads thought it was the start of something

    Big 3 needed once again. Great opportunity against a bang out of form team that don't travel well.

    Haway.
