Fielding Moore, Flint, Baker. Bennett, Pack, Korey, Freeman, Bryan. Kodija, Agard. Ayling needs a rest and I'd like to see how Moore, Flint and Baker perform together. Wilbs may well be fu**ed after Saturday and I think Agard will be better defending from the front.
Good shout - although I might be tempted to play Cox instead of Agard, but there must be a reason he never starts.
Agard just does a lot of running about without actually ever winning the ball. We might as well employ a dog to do his job as he has very little end product. Wilbs wins free kicks, holds the ball up and brings the best out in Kodjia. Whilst I don't think it's great we have to rely on him but I think it's wise to stick with him until January. Would then go all out to get Smith in. It's clearly the type of player Kodjia needs to play well in this league. As for the rest of the team I'd agree with you RP. Moore looked good on the weekend, we've got him on loan from the premier league leaders, he's in the England set up and is highly thought of. Let's use him while we have him. Not been convinced of Ayling in this league. 1 game he looks quality, then he'll go missing for 2/3 games. Can't work him out....

This is a game that we are not expected to get anything from so maybe, just maybe, SC is saving Kodjia and Wilbs for Saturday.... (he would never admit that of course)
