    Well, given he's playing THB at RB I'd say there's more options...

    Maybe two starts in 4 days after just coming back from injury was a step too far for KWP.
    I still think we'll be good in this game, whether it will be enough for the 3 points we'll see, i'm going for 2-1 to us, Adarma and Wee Man to score.

    Jack in a hybrid CB/marauding midfield role?

    Looking at the warm up it looks like Jack at LB and Bree at RB. Could be completely wrong of course!

    Martin is not going to drop KWP out of choice, is he? Chill. He's probably just being rested as not 100% match fit, in the midst of a busy run-in. Logical, surely?

    Well seeing as Martin has at the wrong time got 'Ralph syndrome' of square pegs in round holes, I think Jack may be in goal, Bazunu CF and A Armstrong in defence.

    I mean, it might work, but I’m a big believer in play your best team. And that means KWP, not Shoehorn Stephens.

    Thanks Tom, it’s this ability to spot and point out (twice) the errors in other people’s posts that makes you such a great moderator.


    If it is indeed THB at RB the logic above still stands, replace Stephens with THB. My point was playing someone other than KWP is not necessarily the crime it was initially made out to be

    What do you expect him to do, though? KWP and Manning have both had injuries lately, and we need both for the month ahead, so he clearly doesn't want to risk them from the start.

    Although one might argue that if KWP isn't fit enough for 2 games in 3 days, maybe he should've been left out of Friday.

    Wasn’t confident of a good performance before seeing the team. Jack being crowbarred into the team has ended any hope of a good result. I’m not anti Jack but I think we were better before. Would love to be wrong but I think this is a losing side.

    What I really don't understand is that we had a settled back 4, not conceding too many (if at all) for 25 games. We change it, now we don't. It doesn't take a football manager to notice that. I know football isn't that simple. But maybe it is sometimes.

    Would this be the same Jack who spinted back on Friday to prevent a likely goal. Not keen on how this forum loves to do down a lot of our players. In the space of a few days the vitriol to Kaladeen, Che and Jack is shameful

    I’m not saying Jack is a bad player, just that our settled back four has been messed about with too much.
