I'd go with Mac Moses Dawson Davies Robertson Snodgrass Livermore Hayden Clucas Akpom Hernandez Meyler's confidence will be rock bottom after tonight. Hayden and Akpom have had little game time recently so time to bring them back in. Diame blows hot and cold so time for him to take a rest IMO. We need a good high tempo performance to get our promotion challenge back on track and this team will do it for me.
Agreed - Clucas has looked a bit tired / below par /whatever recently but with Maloney out for a couple of weeks at least I think he'll have to keep going
Thought Huddlestone was decent tonight. However, we need some hustle about us. I think Powell needs to start behind Hernandez. Diam was garbage agin tonight. I would say Akpom but as he is an utter tool i'd rather Meyler start up front. Good square pass tonight
Yes hope he proves us wrong and scores. They should be raring to go with nearly a week n halfs rest. Its time to step it up and take 9 points now. Should be full steam ahead especially with almost a winter break after the Boro game
Went for Akpom because of his pace - I'd bring Powell on and play him up front sometime in the 2nd half. Tough on Tom to be left out, but we need the energy in midfield that Livermore and Hayden can provide.
Shame we cant get three points for passing sidewards and we actually have to kick the ball towards goal to obtain something called a goal. What is a goal again, ive forgotten
Milton Keynes (I'm not giving them the other part they add) is a game we need to get back to scoring again. We can't depend on Middlesborough to keep messing things up to keep in touch.
Did he ever. I dont know how he managed those own goals one was quite spectacular if i remember rightly
He didn't understand a word of English. That didn't help him. He was great when He got stuck in, though.
Bring in Maguire, had a stellar performance and should be rewarded for it. After all, that's what Bruce had promised wasn't it?
Harry was unlucky to lose his place - but do you leave out Davies who has done nothing wrong recently - or do you go to 3 at the back in order to accommodate big H?
It's tough, harsh on him not to be playing though. Hard to come up with a line up that doesn't mess with things excessively. McGregor Maguire Davies Dawson Odubajo - - - - - - - - Robertson - - - - - - Livermore - - - - - - - - Snodgrass - - - - Clucas - - - - - Diame - - - - - - - - - - - -- Hernandez - - - - - Maybe. But that leaves us a bit exposed in midfield unless we drop Clucas back to CM alongside Livermore and play with a front three with Snoddy and Diame which I don't think Diame excels at. Maybe Cluas and Snoddy either side of Abel with Livermore and Hayden covering?
