After the shambles of the MK Dons performance something's got to change. Assuming none of our injured players are back in cotention, I'd go with

Mac
Moses Dawson Harry Robertson
Elmo Hayden Huddlestone Clucas
Aluko Hernandez

Davies has done nothing wrong, but Harry has more of a physical presence. Huddlestone and Aluko both looked up for the fight when they came on today. Diame too hot and cold and too much of a luxury player. Akpom too petulant and distribution is poor.

is it maybe time to go back to 3-5-2? we need a game plan for Forest, not just a typical 4-4-1-1 and a "lucky" 1-0 win... Bruce needs to earn his money now and use his experience. It's no good him saying he doesnt know why we arnt playing well, its up to HIM to figure it out and sort it out.

Could be right - teams are coming here with a packed midfield so maybe its time to match up
 
Diame's getting a lot of stick but he created our most clearcut chance today and from the wing I'd say that's his main job. I thought he did OK. Akpom was very frustrating with those misses, as ever really, but he at least got in the positions which Abel yet again didn't. If anyone's a luxury player it's Hernandez, who we only play for his finishing, but he's rarely in the positions to use it.

I think now we realise how important Livermore is to this team.

We need a minimum of 4 pts from the next 2 games, and it's looking like without him.
 
Didn't go today cause I'm back in Lincoln but it was pretty piss poor apparently. Maybe 3-5-2 is necessary against Forest.

McGregor
Odubajo Dawson Davies Maguire Robertson
Hayden Huddlestone Diame
Aluko Hernandez

Not like we've been playing much better with him in the team. Don't get me wrong I like Livermore, but CM is one of our strongest areas and we have plenty of options.

Why do you say it's looking like without him? Did Bruce give an update post match?
