Rotating the FBs is going to be difficult, I suspect, so Gray might get shoved out there even though we all want to see him have a run in midfield. Porro is really important for us right now so maybe he’ll get a rest. Thinking it might be something like: Kinsky Spence Danso VdV Gray Sarr Palhinha Bergvall Johnson Richarlison Tel
Hope to see Ju'nai Byfield get a cameo, just so he gets a Wikipedia page after the various games he's been an unused sub
Agree with most of this, but would like RKM to start and get some more serious minutes in. He's still building his fitness so don't want to waste his time on the bench.
Think this'll be too tough a game for us to get through with our missing players tbh... just hoping we are competitive and push them hard.
I can’t see him starting a midweek game after starting the weekend if he’s building up. More likely he comes off the bench then starts at the weekend again.
