Team news for Sunday

[video=youtube;3wW_g4TOlt0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wW_g4TOlt0[/video]

So, Koren, Chester, Graham, McGregor, Livermore and possibly Aluko all unavailable.

 

If I hadn't recently logged onto Facebook, I was going to say there is a reason I had forgotten about him! haha.

 

What's up with Aluko?

 

If Aluko is out I'd go:

---------------Harper

Rosie------Faye------Davies-----Figgy

Elmo------Meyler----Hudd------Quinn

-------------Brady

-------------Sagbo

 

Yeah, I was going to say:

------------Harper--------------
Rosenior--Faye--Davies--Figueroa
Elmo---Meyler---Huddlestone--Brady
-------------Aluko----------------
-------------Sagbo----------------

Subs: Jakupovic, Bruce, McShane, Boyd, Quinn, Proschwitz, McLean

Or if Aluko is out:

------------Harper--------------
Rosenior--Faye--Davies--Figueroa
Elmo---Meyler---Huddlestone--Quinn
-------------Brady----------------
-------------Sagbo----------------

Subs: Jakupovic, Bruce, McShane, Boyd, Proschwitz, McLean, Jahraldo-Martin


...right down to the bare bones!

 

Bleedin' hell. Going to be a tricky afternoon on Sunday.

 

Is Aluko injured?

 

Considering he nearly had his legs broken by Barry, i'm not surprised Aluko might be a doubt...

 

In the video Bruce says Aluko is a doubt.

 

Save Aluko for Sunderland if there is any doubt about his fitness....

 

This looks to be our best option to me if Aluko and Gedo are injured. Quinn (or Boyd) can do a good job on the LW and should be fresh while Brady deserves time up front IMO.

 

I'd go with those players but I'd opt for 4-5-1 and just slot Brady in wide left with Quinn, Hudd and Meyler as a central 3 and just try and get as much support to Sagbo as we can. Try and hit them on the break and or from set pieces.

 

Not a bad idea that actually! Would counter Tottenham's midfield 3 whilst allowing Quinn and Meyler to play in their favoured positions.

Only concern would be Sagbo up top on his own. He likes to drift out of position often, which'd give us no one to hold onto it.

 

BBC says a huge storm will hit the south from Cornwall to Kent on Monday. Wonder what the conditions will be like in London on Sunday??

 

How's about Brady on the left, and Boyd behind Sago ?

 

---------------Harper

Rosie------Faye------Davies-----Figgy

Elmo------Meyler----Hudd------Quinn-----Brady

-------------Sagbo

 

is Gedo injured or just not yet in contention since Proschwitz probably will get in first

 

I would play...


------------------Harper---------------

Rosenior-----Davies-----Faye-----Figueroa

Elmo-------Huddleston-----Quinn-----Brady

-------Proschwitz---------Sagbo-------

At the end of the day, is this not the game to try Prozzy? Anything we get out of this is a bonus, most people will expect us to lose to a good Spurs side. Test his metal, if he's crap, I'll shut up. But if he's up for it, who knows, it certainly won't do any harm.

In my honest opinion, I still think we'll be lucky to see him on the bench.
