If Huggins we’d got to a back 3 surely? Hume onien and Ballard, would like to see Seelt in a back 3 but think we’d stick with those 3 to start anyway
Clarke had ice on his hamstring after the Sheff Wed game. Could be something, could be nothing. Great opportunity for someone to come in and stake a claim whoever it is missing out.
What's really frustrating for me, is that Mowbray is saying "he can't rotate" - which is true to an extent. But at 3-0 up at half time on Friday night he chose not to make a sub until the 64th minute.
My team if Huggins is out... Patto Hume Ballard O'Nien Clarke Aouchiche Jobe Neil Roberts Pritchard Burstow My team if Jobe / Neil are out... Patto Hume O'Nien Ballard Huggins Aouchiche Jobe / Neil Clarke Roberts Pritchard Burstow ---- The fact I wouldn't be changing shape at all if one of the midfielders is out, is why I think it has to be Huggins based on his comments.
Also devil's advocate here but I wouldn't be completely averse to giving Ellis Taylor a go a left back if its Huggins. Keep the shape the same. As has been said many times on here its expected he will likely not make it. But he was decent the other day for the U21s and I don't see why we wouldn't give him a go as our 4th choice LB (if Cirkin, Alese and Huggins are out) No point consistently naming him on the bench if we refuse to play him
If a new signing was playing the way Taylor has been for the under 23s I think we’d all be wanting him involved so I’m not against this idea
I have a feeling that Mowbray is playing the media again. Whenever he makes this big statements about missing players (Birmingham away last season) we end up playing a largely unchanged team. I reckon he's just trying to throw Watford off
We would really struggle withoit neil, would have to hope ekwah is fit I reckon it might be clarke, just a gut feeling
Just saw pictures of training and neil clakre huggins were all training Wonder if hume is injured as hes a key player and couldnt see him in any pics
I'd normally agree but I'd hope our keeper won't be overworked tomorrow ... ... and I wouldn't mind seeing Bishop just in case.
Huggins Neil and Clarke are all in the recent training pics so doesn’t look like it’s any of those https://m.facebook.com/story.php?st...nGAuX3N7c7Tg5nJ4gqtZhGCYYl&id=100044592302609
If Huggins and Neil were in training photos. then my guess is Jobe Hume and Pritchard, as important as they are, are a pretty straight swap with Seelt and Aouchiche and wouldn't result in the changes TM is suggesting.
