After todays performance we should change the team a bit for the Watford game. King had a shocker today adding to giving the peno away. Abe didnt get in the game much neither did Fernandes or Danns. Matt Mills is suspended for 3 games now so the backline what has been solid for weeks will have to be changed. I thought we was crying out for someone like Lloyd Dyer today aswell to offer us some width. I think Sven missed a trick in the summer by not getting in a winger. So here is my team for Wednesday Schmeichel Peltier Bamba St. Ledger Konchesky Johnson Wellens Fernandes Danns Nugent Beckford Subs Weale, Pantsil, King, Dyer, Vassell
I'd give Dyer another go. And would definitely drop King. Would be interesting to see if Gallagher comes straight back in when he's fit. Lots of options open to Sven, but I still don't think he knows his best XI. For me, I'd go 4-4-2, diamond or no diamond, and play: Schmeichel Peltier St Ledger Bamba Koncheskey Danns Fernandes Wellens Dyer Nugent Beckford Subs: Pantsil, King, Johnson, Abe, Schlupp
I cant remember todays bench and if dyer was on it or not?? Think he should be there at least as we need a plan b. st ledger has his chance that he has been waiting for so needs to take it well. schmeichel peltier st ledger bamba konchesky fernandes wellens danns dyer nugent beckford

Peltier, Knochesky, Danns and Wellens need to work hard up and down the pitch, Fernades should sit in front of back 3, Bamba deep sweeping up. Then after about an hour of bombardment of the Watford defence bring on Schlupp to really finish um off. Simples!
please log in to view this image SUBS: Pantsil, Abe, King, Schlupp, Howard. Is Gallagher fit soon? If he could get back to form he's as good a shout as anyone.
If he is then he'd be at the top of the diamond for me. With Johnson and Wellens behind him and Fernandes behind them.
Decent ideas but I'm afraid Konchesky is a waste of time going forward. May as well put Dyer in instead. I'm disappointed Johno hasn't broken in yet, injuries have hampered him, but he's the most talented player in the squad IMO, if he can recapture his best form he'd walk into the side.
Yeh that's how I'd have it. We would have great strength in depth in midfield if they were all performing consistantly well, it's not happened so far with any one of them.
Konchesky is crap going forward because there is no width to help him, Peltier does get a little help from Vassel sometimes. So forget it and go more direct like i said just like guppy used to do. He never went past his defender he just loaded the penalty spot from anywhere really.
But Konchesky can't cross either. He can deliver a free kick once in about 8 but mostly his service is poor. I believe we were trying to hit the penalty spot a lot today but we missed by about 20 yards almost every time and it went out of play.
King doesnt deserve to be in the team at the minute. Its debatable if he is worth a place on the bench. I would drop him completely for a few weeks. Tell him to book his ideas up and then bring him back and take it from there
I think it's harsh to drop King like that. Remember he was very good against Derby the other week. I think SSL for Mills and Beckford for Vassell are two changes I would make. The area that I feel does need looking at the most though is the midfield. I think Fernandes and Wellens should feel confident about keeping/regaining their place but the other places are anyone's guess and nobody could feel aggrieved if they were to be left out. There's an argument to keep roughly the same midfield as Sunday in that you should keep continuity and these are players who just one game previoulsy tore Derby to shreds and there is also the arguement that says these players didn't perform well enough so others should have a chance. Its going to be a tough call for Sven. On Gallagher, I'm sure Sven/Faz said that they wanted to give him a full weeks training before considering him. If he were fit though, he might be in contention and I would definitely have him on the bench because he is naturally creative and does have the ability (when played in that hole) to unlock defences.
