David Fairclough To Start?

If he's worth a goal off the bench, then maybe 2 on the pitch?

 

Is it just me ?

I think he is playing better this season than last.

 

100% agree.

Fairclough was always down the pecking order due to better options taking preference in the position he played. I don't see that with what is available at this moment in time with the Gunner.

 

A safer bet than his father Len.

 

Assuming we start with two upfront again, Whitts and two wide men from Conway, Noone or Kimbo are certanties to take three of the four midfield spots, where does that leave us?

Gunnar, Mutch or the Don for the other spot?

I know who I'd play from the off - hope Malky agrees.

 

I'd go with:

Marshall, Connolly, Huds, Turner, Taylor, Noone, Gunnar, Whitts, Conway, HH, CB39

Malky said in his pre match interview that he didn't believe in never changing a winning side.

That beggars the question - is that the one that started, or the one that finished?

Personally I'd start the one that finished the Palace game. Rudy in for Heidar, Gunnar for Mutch, and give Mason a start for a change. Noone off the bench against a tiring Millwall defence could be a masterstroke.
