    So Azaz now goes from the wing to CM alongside Charles? Suddenly look very light at CM with Jander not signed in time and no Sesay on the bench this week.

    Good feeling about this one, 0-2 Saints...Archer and Fraser.

    I'm thinking Azaz dropping back into Flynn's position (not ideal), and Robinson to join Fraser in playing either side of Archer.

    I don’t think it will be this but I’d be tempted by Stephens into DM and play it was 4231

    Or a CB to step up into midfield.

    Maybe Jack will step forward a bit too?

    I would prefer that to Azaz dropping deep.

    Fraser is no CDM. Guess could go 3/5/2 with Azaz playing of Archer, with Charles, Fraser and Robinson in the centre?
    But I think better to go 4 at the back and put JS as a holding midfielder?

    Why isn't Sesay on the bench?

    I'm talking about when out of possession. We don't need a CDM, we just need a box to box player to help out and I can only think of Fraser being able to do that with the current lineup.

    Long now on bench instead of BBD. Must be on the move then hopefully.

    What are the rules if a player drops out after a line up is announced? Does it have to be one change or can you reshuffle a couple of players, because that might have been more ideal

    Too many strikers that we feel obligated to include in the squad

    Can’t help feeling we won’t see Downes again. And the way he has been this season…that might be okay. Would beed ti replace him though.

    Could have put Edward’s into holding midfield as done that a bit at QPR?

    Which makes me think that we may well go back 4 with Stephens sitting in front of the back 4?

    What about Stephens at Rb, Roerslev to the left. Go 4-1-4-1.
