RLB: Mundle and Browne will be out for six to eight weeks. Browne has fractured a bone in his leg. Mundle a hamstring. We have talent in the squad Millwall are a talented team we will have to play to our level We have quality on the pitch too Aleksic has had to wait with strong competition in his position but he might be ready this weekend We will have a good assessment of the state of the squad after the next set of games We want to win, we want to break away fast, we want to score with possibly less possession Aouchiche and Ba are in the first team group, Patto, Alese & Mundle are fit We have to evolve and improve, our main focus is to improve and manage with the squad that we have We have reassessed the game model and looked at how we adapt during games Football is very unpredictable we enjoy it when it is good and support when not so good No mention of Samed, or Salis but Ted Lasso is fit Barnsey is ****e
Yeah it’s frustrating and Barnes getting free reign of the pressers does my head in, be half tempted to scrap samed altogether given he was out for 2 weeks when he came here and we’ve still not even seen a picture of him training, and get a Tyler Morton on loan for the rest of the season instead
Patto O'Nien Ballard Mepham Cirkin Neil Rigg Aouchiche Isidor Watson Connolly That's what I THINK he'll play. But Isidor clearly isn't a winger. So perhaps I'd bring in Ba or Aleksic and keep Isidor as the 9. Just wish we hadn't wasted a squad place on Poveda
Aouchice and Ba bring a level of unpredictability. I'd be inclined to throw one of them in on the off chance they click and provide the creative spark we will miss without Roberts & Mundle. Ba for me, Watson left, Isidor up front. God knows what you do behind them
I don't for a second disagree with you here, however the irony after deadline day and the majority saying he wasn't a striker is hilarious
Ba is pretty good in the air so that would be a bonus. Playing v Millwall might be the making of Tommy Watson. Tough game, no doubt.
The bench will be ridiculously weak and RLB clearly doesn’t like using many subs. It’s probably a full game for 9 or 10 of the lads who start
Forgot about Mayenda. I'd be tempted to stick him on the right, Watson on the left, with Isidor up top. Mayenda is good at the pressing / defensive stuff. So I think he'll be trusted on the wing
So,you think he'd be good on the right wing? I've not seen him play there before. He's powerful and a strong runner,but does he have the skills to go past a full back?
Not sure mate but with limited options I think his pace and power could be important for us. Plus he presses well and knows the system
