TammyAB Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Got a feeling Bakinson will be in the squad, maybe even starting on Saturday after seeing his Instagram post and all of the comments which followed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 One of the comments is from Lloyd Kelly and seems to agree with you (if an old fart like me can make head or tail of what these young people talk about these days!)

GrahamC Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Despite the understandable comments from LJ about Korey wanting to be involved against Forest, his injury makes it a real risk, so we are then left with either Lloyd Kelly or Bakinson for a place in the squad. Seeing as Kelly is a LB and a squad with Bryan & Magnússon already in it has 2 of them, whereas Pack & Brownhill are our only 2 central midfielders left who are fit, I'd say he is very likely to be on the bench.

I am sure Aldershot will be only too delighted to be described in that way. To me he sounds like a player who has realised he needs to take a step down to work his back up. Good luck to him.

Monkeh Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Should be on the bench at least i reckon we will go with Bryan pack brownhill and pato in the midfield tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I have got Bakinson starting tomorrow. Don’t think Korey should be risked and we can still beat Forest while changing a few front players around. I wouldn’t put Bakinson in a midfield 2 but if we go 4141we can play him ahead of Pack with Brownhill where he will have a bit of extra cover. Need to start utilising the sqaud to get through the rest of this month.

Grey Fox Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 No need to rest players for the Forest match, they have had over a week since the last game, as to Man Utd, everyone one will want to play, and should. The QPR game is the one to consider resting key players, so that they will be fresh for Reading. Wolves will then be the normal mid week gap in days terms that they are use to, leaving Villa to consider freshening up if needed. Sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven’t got injuries to my knowledge so we should be starting our strongest team against Forest. It isn’t ideal but we start a run of 6 games in about 18 days. Leko and Woodrow can’t play against Man U and are part of the squad. Reid and Bryan are fit but it doesn’t mean they can’t get tired. I have said this about Bobby before that he can he likened to a foreign signing because he has never had a run of games like this in his career. With Bryan we have capable cover to rest him with a brutal schedule coming up. Remember all other championship clubs have Wednesday free and we will be playing a side in the champions league. It will be tiring and we only have so many available to play in that match. Like I said it is not ideal but it is reality. We are short on numbers at the moment and we may need to utilise a few fringe players over this period of matches. Forest are a good side but one we are capable of beating at home with a few changes. With that back 4 and Pack we should be fairly solid so the only risk is that we may struggle to score a few. The rest of the matches during that time are higher risk to make changes imo. QPR is away and they are tough there. Reading have spells where they look a promotion contender amd everyone has to be switched on. Wolves and Villa are self explanitory and Man U we are down another two players with them being cup tied. Just feel this game is the more natural to rotate a bit.

GrahamC Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 We are not good enough to beat Forest and still "rest" players, Leko and Woodrow may well come into contention tomorrow because Brownhill will probably play in centre mid as I cannot see Korey being involved, but that is completely different from a scenario where Bryan and Reid (2 of our best players) are deliberately left out. As for the likes of Bakinson and Kelly, they are gaining experience simply by making the bench but I'd be absolutely amazed if either of them got a start.

We have shown that in the cup games where not only were the results great but the performances were. Not saying I am right. Just think it is the easiest match to rest a few with QPR next.

cheshire_red Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Forest are a decent side and Warburton has done a decent job so far. Away form seems to be their Achilles heal but no way can we take them lightly enough to disrupt the core of the side to the extent some are suggesting.

Don't think we can take anyone lightly in this division. Also we don't have quite the depth of squad that other major teams in the championship have, so that makes it more difficult for LJ to "rotate" players as he might like, especially when he is already having to cover for injuries to key players.

If Bakinson was to start any of the games this week, I'd imagine it would more likely be against Manchester if Smith hasn't made it. I reckon we'll be looking at something like... Saturday - Fielding, Wright, Flint, Baker, Bryan, Eliasson, Brownhill, Pack, Pato, Reid, Woodrow. Weds - Steele, Wright, Flint, Mags, Bryan, Brownhill, Smith*, Pack, Eliasson, Pato, Reid. *Bakinson if Smith not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider-Head23 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Strong as possible for both games is a must. LJ may gamble with a slightly weakened squad against Forest and hopes it works, or at least hope were still in at with 20 mins left to make subs. I don't buy into we should play a second string side against United , we could easily get done 5-0 if we don't go full strength. Maybe players like Steele & Magnússon, but no disrespect to the lad but Bakinson has played what once for us and once for Luton. I dont see how he's ready to be thrown in against Man Untied of all teams even if he is training very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 For me personally I’d start Taylor over Woodrow, the lad offers next to nothing, from what I’ve seen so far. Taylor can press and feed off Bobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlborough Red Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Players must be fully rested after not playing since last Friday. Start with full strength team tomorrow , (hopefully Korey fit) get 3 points , then and only then, think about team for United . No distractions please .

cidered abroad Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I would hope that Korey plays tomorrow but only if the club are 99% sure it would not interrupt the recovery of his gashed leg. I also think that Duric will play some part as he's off to surgery on 18th. Unless of course, the surgeon prefers him fully rested. From what I've seen of Bakinson, I don't consider him ready for a start although I've only seen him in one and a bit games in last two months. Clearly a talent for the future though so if he gets a start, why hasn't Lee J given a league debut yet to Lloyd Kelly who appears to be streets ahead of the Academy boys yet to make a league debut? Whoever plays, I'm confident that we'll get a win against former European champions Forest. With Man U to follow and Villa on New Years Day, both having achieved the same, does it not show how far we have come at this time and how far we still have to go to be regarded as a club at the same level. One day maybe and if so, please make it sooner rather than later for us old wrinklies to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
