Think we would be more suited to switching back to a back 4 in this one

Patto
Hume ballard o9 huggins
Ekwah neil
Roberts pritchard clarke
Jobe

Dont like pritchard starting 2 games in a short space of time however we absolutely cant drop him with the way he has played last 2 games. I like Jobe up top with Pritchard in behind, Jobe will run in behind to give Pritch the space he needs to do the damage

Harsh on Seelt but dont see the point in starting 5 defenders against this lot

Be a tough game and as others have said a point wouldn't be the worst outcome

Think so too.

Just looked and a win would turn out away form round significantly. No wins in 5 currently.

Like a hybrid 343? Harsh on Pritchard, but gets us right up the pitch?

Agreed. Match them with a 4 2 3 1 and beat them on quality.

And would get us above West Brom for a day at least but adds pressure onto them. Considering the table two weeks ago getting above or level with West Brom is significant progress

I would stick with the same fluid back five plan, plus Dan and Ekwah, then any 3 from Pritch. Clarke, Jobe, Rusyn, Ba or Edil.

Fluid Clocky, it was like quicksilver.
Every time I worked out our formation it changed again. Coupled with players changing roles it was the most enjoyable match I have watched in years.
I always watch the full 90 again, win loose or draw, and I was still struggling to understand it even with the pause button :emoticon-0102-bigsm
I really appreciate how clever Mike Dodds was on Tuesday and how bitter Farke is for the comments he made post match

Ba up front and Pritchard behind him? If we are going down that route I would rather Rusyn imo

I guess it’s going to be quite fluid. Which I like.

it’s very odd tho that Dodds, English, proctor and murty have been on the pitch for 15 mins whilst the lads get changed. Is that normal?
