Don't think Hall, Lynch, Bidwell, Robinson, Cousin or Sandro will be fit, so Jimmy's options are limited. Maybe this: Smithies Henry Onuoha Caulker Perch Luongo Borysiuk Wszolek Chery Washington Sylla
I'm not sure why it seems to be generally accepted that Henry can play RB. I think he played there once in an emergency and did ok, but if I remember correctly he wasn't put under any pressure. I'd sooner see Kakay play there, or Perch RB and Hamalainen at LB.
I think he will rotate Sylla for Polter and play a more solid defensive type team and try and hit them on the break. Although I'd rather see us go for it and lose than try and defend for a draw and still lose. But we're just guessing until he puts Harry's tombola machine back in its box. I would drop Chery as I think he's been poor recently and gets knocked off the ball too easily and is a bit of a lightweight away from home. His corners and set pieces have been worse than Barton's. please log in to view this image
I think away at a top 6 side Jimmy is going to be cautious and might go with the experience of Henry and Perch to Kakay and Hamalainan
Nines, I think you are correct on JFH's approach. Your observation on Chery is very interesting and even possibly controversial, as if fit, he is usually the first name in the team sheet as our "best player". I actually thought he was a cert for the away matches with a 4-2-3-1 formation, whilst he could be dropped for home matches should we wish to play 4-4-2. However your opinion for dropping Chery is for performance issues. Very interesting.
I completely agree with this best team "My best team, based on what I have seen Smithies Perch Ned Caulker Bidwell Luongo Ariel Pawel Chery Washington Sylla"
