Whats Your Lineup Against Luton?

Rest Hamer. Can’t risk another yellow (5th?) before Leeds game

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Oxford carved Luton apart midweek and their defence has no shape whatsoever.

Will be a very attacking team and if we're 2 or 3 up after an hour he'll make a lot of changes. Robbo subbed for Souttar and Brewster for Moore after an hour as they're both off for internationals and we don't need them tired and at risk of injury.

More worried about silly yellows for players at risk of missing Leeds game tbh.

I'd like to see Burrows given more opportunity to put balls through and across. Not sure how to make that happen though. I'd also like to see Seriki have 20 minutes if he's fit too.

The ball that lead to the own goal was a beauty. The last time I can remember someone putting crosses in that well was Matt Lowton and David Cotterill. As for the one that put Moore one on one before he hit the post. That was an unbelievable ball.

I really want to see how our attack looks without O'Hare and with Hamer moved into the 10 role.

Cooper
Gilchrist, Souttar, Anel, Burrows
Peck, Souza
Rak-Sakyi, Hamer, Brooks
Moore.

Exactly. I want him to be able to do that more, but would mean him moving into left midfield, but that would displace Souza, so don't see that happening. OR having some sort of pivot with Souza that I can't see either. Going LWB in a 5 could accommodate it but not sure we want to go back there. it could also mean Moore stays in CF on the last shoulder and doesn't drop back to pick up the ball.

Why we haven't started Hamer in front of Souza and Peck/Arblaster and stuck Brooks and JRS on the wings is beyond me.

Our excellent and unbeaten start to the season would suggest CW has got his team selections spot on

We can't start resting players to save them from bookings, do we also rest him against Leeds so he can play against Boro?
Gus needs to stop picking up unnecessary yellows

GOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LEEDS AND SUNDERLAND DROPPING 2 POINTS

I don't dispute that, but would you stick with the same thing if you had a better alternative? What if improving the team, improved the results?

To do that we need to move Hamer off the left. I’d rest Ohare, move hamer central and try Campbell on the left. He’s got the pace to track back.

McCallum would be an option as well

Brewster to start as a 10?

-----------------Cooper
Gilchrist-Souttar-Anel-Burrows
--------------Peck-Souza
-----Rak-Sakyi-O'Hare-Hamer
------------------Moore

This O'Hare/Brewster selection dilemma that has come up in the last few games is a welcome option, but I would personally go with O'Hare in the 10 over Brewster.

While O'Hare hasn't hit the heights we all hoped he would reach when we signed him, his pressing and ability to start attacks from winning the ball on said press is key to how we attack teams.

What I noticed with Brewster against Swansea was that he got close to Moore when we went long, he was anticipating where Moore would knock the ball down or head it on, as he got into good positions to receive these balls.

But his decision making does need work, especially when choosing to shoot or pass, like how he should have played an unmarked Rak-Sakyi through 1 on 1 with the keeper instead of shooting from the edge of the box.
