Drop one: Bamford, Campbell or O'Hare

Fjortoft's Aeroplane · 2025-12-08T13:00:08+0000

Hamer, Brooks, Peck and Riedeweld are all on great form and undroppable currently. So what is to become of player of the season (so far ) Callum O'Hare?

I suggest he might be suited to being 2nd striker playing off a proper CF like Bamford. Campbell hasn't been involved (scored or direct assist) in our last TEN goals and can rarely do 90 minutes anyway. Campbell might be the type of player who could have a massive impact off the bench?

Who would you rather see benched most over the next few weeks? Bamford, Campbell or O'Hare?

I think with 3 games in 6 days and then a busy Christmas and New Year period, they'll be a lot of swapping and changing and all of them will be "dropped" at some stage.

Carlton Blade · 2025-12-08T13:03:45+0000

I think it'll be O'Hare and Cannon in for Bamfird and Campbell

Campbell was involved in our last goal -

Was a nice backheel, but ultimately he wasn't the man fouled or the pen scorer.

I think rotation due to the heavy schedule will force them into sharing game time. I'd include Cannon, Ings and Hamer in with that lot. There's no way Hamer is starting and finishing every game. It's difficult to rest Peck, Seriki and Riedeweld due to lack of reliable options, but even they will need their minutes managing even if it means using Matos/Soumare.

I expect Hamer, Campbell/Bamford and McCallum (tight calf) on the bench tonight. O'Hare, Burrows and one or two changes up top. A possible enforced change at centre back if Mcguinness isn't right.

Real stretch of a stat here. He scored two against Wednesday. Didn’t play the next game. He just hasn’t scored in his last two. Which I don’t think is especially mad.

Will be rotating to suit each match and factoring in playing time/knocks etc.

Saw loads of comments online about O'Hare and Mee being "dropped" on Saturday. Players rarely get dropped these days as pretty much every team in professional football HAS to rotate due to gruelling schedules.

He's doing pretty well overall. But when you look at how we've transformed since Bamford's arrival and look at O'Hares contribution this season, we have the rare luxury of being very picky (I honestly can't believe I'm writing this considering our form a month ago). Who would you prefer to see benched most?

I hope they've packed sleeping bags if they're going to be on the bench tonight

Honestly don't mind. I think the OP is a bit pointless as others have said there will be plenty of rotation.
I'm just happy that whatever rotation of Campbell, Bamford, Cannon, Ings, Hamer, Brooks or O'Hare I think it can be effective.

Campbell hasn’t been involved in any of our last 11 goals. He was off the pitch when Cannon put the ball in the Wednesday net. Unacceptable.

"Who was off the pitch when Cannon put the ball in the Wednesday net?

Tyrese fucking Campbell"

His skill to set up the pen was better than any scruffy tap in though

That was possibly all he did, if someone offers decent money I would offload him.
Yes he occasionally scores goals but when not scoring his overall contribution to create for him and others and press the opposition in their half is none existent

What do you call decent money? If we get £8m for him are we actually going to find better for £8m? He's not as consistent as I'd like which is why I'm tempted to bench him, but in honesty he'd be missing out mainly because of how well O'Hare and Bamford are playing, I'd like him to stay with us.
