Get Phil Trainer back on a short term deal to boost the midfield numbers, and make sure he’s on free kicks.

Well, we will play a changed side anyway - presumably Long for Cadden, Baptiste for Brannagan and Taylor for Mackie. Possibly Moore for Mousinho? Other than that, I'd be tempted to keep it as it is, unless Robinson keeps Fosu on the bench and gives Forde (or Hall) a run out. Sykes can keep going, he hasn't played much and is doing well (if only that shot had gone in after his lovely run!)

I may be wrong but I thought I read that the Mackems, under Parkinson, were playing a lot more route 1 tactics? Could be that having Moore start with his height, alongside the Dickster would be a good defence.

Or if only he had passed it!

Not sure he’s doing well as such, looks a bit out of form and low on confidence to me, but I agree with keeping him in as he’s clearly got lots of ability.

How have the tickets gone?

I think we'll win, I'll say my usual 2-0, I'm sticking to that on the basis it ends up being 3-0!

Shame about Brannagan. I would think Baptiste would be favourite to come in.

It’s also on ESPN America. So I’m sure there is a live stream. For anyone who can’t make it.

Its also on viaplay in scandanavian countries so good chance of a stream

I'll keep my excellent standards up and say 1:1 , last gasp equaliser from Baptiste....then , who knows.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

This team seems to be all about the group not the individual. With that in mind, missing one or two has not unduly affected us in performances that have been right up there.
We have the personnel to hurt teams and provided that the boys stick to the tenets of hard work and sharp passing that has got us so far, we will win this one. 2-0 Taylor and Henry.

 

[cassox]

strongest side.........

Not quite so confident with CB out. Maybe Gorrin could play there with Mous taking dm role

 

[Oxford1996]

Hoping the team is.. Eastwood, Long Dickie Moore Ruffels, Gorrin Baptiste, Forde Henry Fosu, Taylor

Bench - Stevens, Berkoe, Mousinho, Hall, Sykes, Aygei, Mackie.
