Officially, probably not, but in reality I would put good money on it. Can't imagine Preston will bring that many either.
My guess, he was told..... you either do this plea or... you will lose the Captaincy and you will be on the bench Tuesday night with no chance of getting on the pitch.
I cannot see Jackson starting another match in three days, so Moussa on the left and another striker in, but who? Ghoochannejhad is used to playing alone up front. Watt is not suited to that role, But I would have expected to see Reza on the bench more and playing in more u21 games if there were plans to bring him in. If not Reza, then KAG again. I am sure Luzon would have his team in mind by Monday. If he planned to start Henderson tonight he would not have played him yesterday. I appreciate that, in the event, he had nothing to do and hardly exhausted himself, but by the same token he had no chance to do anything brilliant which might have changed Luzon's mind. Maybe he will come on once we are four up? Against all logic I see us winning tonight.
Maybe not a stooge, but he is made of Teflon. How someone who has been virtually useless since the first half of our promotion season has survived all the changes of manager and is still drawing a good wage is a mystery. He must know where some bodies are buried. I believe he is the only pre-Powell player left? In fact, not being one of SCP's picks has probably saved him. What chance of him succeeding Luzon as manager?
I think reza has something to offer us. He and big mak should (!!) in theory make for a perfect partnership.
If JBG is out, our creativity will go with it. This could be a long night. I' ll be sat at home following this with my usual enthusiasm, but these are not the best of times. Be bloody nice to win one though.
Moussa and Jackson were never going to start tonight due to fitness, but the fact that we have to play 6 defenders and two defensive minded midfielders really does show the complete lack of investment/depth in the squad. Only way we will score tonight will be a set piece.
Is it THD's league debut? If so good luck to the lad, can't do any worse than some of the dross served up so far this season.
JBG is vastly overrated. I've seen maybe 3 or 4 excellent performances from him, and yet he is supposed to be the dude who will be sold for mega-millions.
Ermmmm - interesting line up. Another youngster getting his first game out of position . Ground is dead too.
