4 first team players, for us.

Our usual RB, 2 out of our 3 CM's and our striker.
 
Kakay and Odebajo , oh dear ffs ! 2 up top again , why ? Obviously we aren't prioritising the Forest game, can see us getting turned over on Friday with them fresher. We needed a fit Dykes ready for Friday. We better win this game now at least

Hmm. Promising players in the team. But I think we should have two central midfielders, one of those defensive.

As in every game, we should only have two strikers if we have a plan on how to feed them. We usually don't. Which is why I'd rather win the midfield.
Totally agree, our set up doesn't strike as loads of crosses to the forwards. We've done this before and doesn't work, preferably 4-4-2 if playing 2 strikers

Same here regarding Dykes. He's going to be knackered for Friday isn't he?

He shouldn't be. I actually believe in playing your most in form striker regularly or every game. If you keep switching striker every game, how can any of them get into a rhythm.

This is why I think we should buy a proper winger in the next window. We need some crosses. Albert is good for that, but how often do we play him?

That's why I couldn't understand the Austin and Gray signings , better off making sure we had decent wing backs. Personally think Gray was an afterthought and Austin because he saved us last season. Money for both would have got us a decent striker to challenge Dykes, we didn't need anyone else as not set up that way
 
Decent looking side, strong bench..... 5 subs allowed...

C'mon Rangers

Yep, doubt he'll play. Austin has been very ineffectual last few weeks and Gray has been awful. Dykes looks quality when he's fresh but Scotland have ended him in-between any breaks, I would've had him starting on tge bench tonight and only used him if necessary
