Amos Elmohamady McShane Chester Dawson Oli McKenna Quinn Aluko Proschwitz Simpson I think Faye could do without 3 games in a week. Elmohamady and Dawson can provide extra width when we have the ball, although Aluko and Simpson can pull out wide as well.
Whats happened to the other Goalie. Oxley looked a bit shaky for the reserves last week. Dawson seems to have a two speed game. Overlapping on Saturday was as good as ever but seems to have slowed down when defending and turned.
I would go with: Amos Elmo McShane Chester Dawson Evans Oli McKenna Quinn Proschwitz Aluko I would put Evans in so he can cover for when Elmo attacks down the right
Amos Rosenior Chester Faye/Bruce Dawson Elmo Oli McKenna Quinn Aluko Proschwitz If Bruce is back then I'd maybe give Faye a rest, it has to be either tomorrow or Saturday and papa Brucie can decide which. I'd give Simpson a rest too, just because he wasn't quite at his best on Saturday and with Prossy banging a couple this might be his time to come in. Formations don't win games. But yes that's the one we played.
So squad could be: Amos Elmo McShane Chester Dawson Evans McKenna Oli Quinn Prossy Aluko Simpson McLean Bruce Faye Dudgeon Oxley Rosenior
A tricky one - but a good position for Steve B to be in. I think the 3 games in a week is the key to this. Oli, Faye, Dawson and Mckenna would be pushed to play all three so the team for Tuesday will differ to the team on Saturday regardless. I don't think he'll risk Chester for a full game so my team would be: Amos, Rosenior, Mcshane, Faye, Dawson, Elmo, Mckenna, Evans, Quinn, Prozzy, Aluko.
I know McLame has played well recently but I dont think he is class. He has hit a run of form, granted, but surely it cant only be me waiting for him to slip up, is it?
Amos Elmohamady McShane Chester Dawson Oli McKenna Quinn Aluko Proschwitz Simpson I'm with summer of 69 on this one. I'd take a point now but hope we play to win.
------------Amos Rosenior Chester Faye Dawson Elmo Oli Quinn McKenna Aluko ---------Proschwitz If SB goes with this we will win 2-0
I dont understand what all the fuss is about. Keep it going. Keep the same team that has just won 2 games on the bounce. Nice to hear that Phil Buckinghams HDM piece yesterday was all cr.ap after hearing Bruce on sportstalk last night. IMO, Steve Bruce will have a bigger selection problem on saturday @ Brizzle. For sure he will need some fresh legs as some cannot go at the same level for 3 games in 8 days. Brizzle is perfect for the likes of McLean - Proschwitz - Evans - Chester to come back in. But for tonight, start as we have done. Simples.
Steve Bruce has said that Dudgeon can train and then his knee swells up. Surely if that keeps happening Dudg needs to go under the knife and get it sorted. Dont want another Fryatt situation with Dudgeon do we. ?
Bruce said he's trained and hasn't had any reaction following his recent injections, he just doesn't want to risk him straight away, I expect he'll be in the squad on Saturday. If he does suffer a further reaction in the next week or so, he probably will need surgery.
Thats what i mean. But good that Dudgeon is good again.......so far.!! The 3 - 5 - 2 only works with Dudgeon on the left wing. But yes would be good to have Dudg back in the squad if not the staring eleven on saturday.
Middlesboro have at least 8 players missing from tonight game. The biggest miss will be striker Lukas Jutkiewicz.
I'd rather they were without Jutkiewicz, but as they've still got Emnes and McDonald(with Miller on the bench), they'll probably muddle by.
