There’s no way he drops McB... no way!
I’ll settle for Osborn starting in place of Lowe... although I’m doubtful about that even happening!

 

[metalblade]

Rather have Stevens back instead of Lowe and yeah McBurnie deserves to keep his place.

 

[steve26272]

He has stuck by McB all this time in the hope he gets a bit of confidence
Would be bonkers to then drop him week after he puts in a shift and scores

Agree about Brewster starting, we can’t afford to spend that money on a sub

I'd like to see them have a go at that too. I'd also like to bum Gillian Anderson but can't see either happening.

[Speedracer]

I think that if Enda is fit to start it would be madness to play him at LCB, he is just not very good there, especially in the air. Play him in his proper position & just maybe he will have shaken off his poor form & be more like the player we know he can be.

 

[Luke1993]

Think Osborn has earned a start instead of Lowe. McBurnie plays, probably with Brewster. Amps, berge, fleck is our best midfield I think.

Change of formation needed we haven't got the players for 3 centre backs, Bryan and Lowe are liabilities. An extra man in Mcgoldrick playing attacking mid should allow us to keep possession in their half more.

 

[bakeblade]

I'd like to see them have a go at that too. I'd also like to bum Gillian Anderson but can't see either happening.

We can't let Romeo run midfield with no pressure on him.
As good as he is, he can occasionally give away possession in dangerous areas if pressed quickly.

 

[Foody]

For me it's:
Rammers
Bash Egan Bryan
Baldock. Osborn /Enda
Ampadu
Berge. Fleck
McBurnie Burke

 

[Revolution]

Players I do not want anywhere near the first XI tomorrow:

Bryan
Lowe
Burke
Norwood if he keeps doing his Dean Hammond impression

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Heard we might be trying a different formation to give us a fighting chance.
Hopefully we'll have more luck with the 5-5-3 setup.

 

[Kelso]

If Stevens is fit play him alongside Bryan, if not Osborn. Play Ampadu as a defensive holding player in midfield, with Berge and Fleck given licence to roam forward (Lundstram in one of those two positions at a push. Then Sharp and Brewster up front, Sharp because of his experience, and being able to bring Brewster into the game. I would leave this team together for 3 games to see how they gel. I know Mcburnie had a great game last week, but to me they go to long when he is playing, bring him on when we are winning and we need someone to hold the ball up.

This midfield 3 gave us our best results last year and can do again....

 

[8lade]

Then Sharp and Brewster up front, Sharp because of his experience, and being able to bring Brewster into the game.

I love the thought of this but think Sharp and Brewster are too similar, having said that who's to say it wouldn't work? They can both finish, both good in the air both intelligent footballers (which people don't give a lot of credit to) but neither has great speed, neither can control a position aerially. Play to their strengths and it could be a winning combo. Let's face it Burke is a desperation choice , McBurnie has one string to his bow and rarely turns up which only leaves McGoldrick as the other choice and he seems to have fallen out of favour. Wilder being Wilder though I suspect it'll be McB/Brewster.
