    think we will play a strong team to maintain continuity whilst we are still getting to grips with the new system and style of play....maybe Irankunda getting the nodd over Doumbia

    well that is my hope anyway

    Doumbia was playing too far away from LK to win any knockdowns or short quick passes. LK had a decent game that was detracted from by a lack of support. Irankunda is, like Baah, more an out and out winger. LK is a #9, but there was no "#10" with him or "#8" behind him. Or is he supposed to do it all by himself?

    Baxter

    Andrews
    Alleyne
    Keben
    Bola

    TDB
    Kayembe
    Hector

    Ince
    Semedo
    Irankunda

    I'd rather see Grieves instead of TDB and Nabizada instead of Ince. I honestly don't see what Ince brings to the team - he reminds of that Argentinian we signed from Udinese whose name escapes me.

    Hopefully the performance is as hot as the weather and no one else gets injured.

    So basically a young kid and central midfielder in defence ?
