I would have Pritchard wither in a number 10 role or on the bench with the possibility of coming on as an impact sub, he should be up for this one but that in itself could cause issues defensively if he is trying to force something in attack. We need to go back to basics, be stronger in midfield with Roberts on the right and Clarke on the left. Also depends on which other attacking players we want on the pitch at the same time as shoehorning them all in doesn't work.
Pritch has been poor of late, maybe move Dan further forward or try one of the new lads in their, if Amad is out. Amad has his critics , but watching him in the cool light of day, he never stops trying or disappears over the 90 minutes , not sure the same can be said of any of the other regulars up front tbh, its a real selection dilemma for Tony this one.
If Amad is fit it will be either him or Roberts on the right for me, recent displays suggest he can't play in the middle. Also hope Mowbray has had a word about him stopping and waving his arms around when a decision doesn't go his way.
roll on the summer transfer window now how we got to 49 points i don't know, so thanks to all for the first 35 games.
Because they have only just started playing poorly. Up until then defeats were very narrow and could have gone either way (with the exception of Burnley). Before anyone says I know its Monty don't engage him as he won't reply etc... but if I've said it once I've said it a million times I can't ignore him all the time!
Mowbray said yesterday that he got a knock in training but the scans came back clear. He was desperate for a rest, probably would’ve got that yesterday regardless of the slight injury worry or not.
Personally I think his apparent replacement Lihadji needs more game time so he hits the ground running at start of next season.
I thought I heard that Ba is Amad replacement, Lihadji is Thierry Henry, possibly playing the 10 to LND
Cool hinney, Lihadji could be an upgrade, we shall see.... happy with both, let's see how they develop
