Buster Footman's T shirt Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Do we go with as strong as possible line up? It would appear that LJ has at least tonight and the Forest game. Clearly the Forest game is more important result wise than tonight but in my view a win today of any sort MAY be just the tonic required and a loss tonight builds more pressure. Alternatively we look at bringing more fringe players in this evening. Do we eventually get to see Engvall? Maybe give GON a return and maybe even Wes or Vyner? As for Tomlin....who knows? I believe tonights line up will show us a lot about LJs current thinking as to who msy be in his plans. For me this is a free game and we go as strong as possible. What are everyone elses thoughts?

Kid in the Riot Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 You would have thought the naughty boys will start tonight, so Tomlin, Pack and GON (if fit). At the end of the day with the squad at our disposal LJ should be able to rest a couple of key players and still have enough to beat a L1 team. There's just no more excuses for him now unfortunately.

Tinmans Love Child Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 If he doesn't start his strongest team tonight LJ is a fool, if we can get a couple of goals, take Tammy, Tomlin off then, a win gives a little confidence for the weekend which is what we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 LJ implied in the long press conference that a few who haven't had many minutes might be in contention. Possibly Engvall could get some minutes.. I hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I wanted us to lose this game so we can concentrate on the league but LJ has to win it for his job and also has to use it to find his best lineup and get a positive result along with consistency. Catch 22 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 ROD's off Lucic injured so GK - FF Mag's was on the bench, so is fit. Flint has played every minute but Wright might need a rest . Could go 4 at the back so Golbourne and Mathews getting a run. so... Mathews - Flint - Mag's - Golbourne Brownhill has been pretty good lately, so dropped. Cold night in Lancashire so just to teach them Oniel and Tomlin in. Hegeler into midfield just as LJ read it on the forum. Paterson has done nothing so , in. Joe was blamed or the goal Saturday so in. Wilbs in for Duric and Engvall making a Houdini type appearance from nowhere, so..... Patterson - Oniiel - Hegeler - Byan Tomlin Wilbs (Engvall after an hour) One goal win to someone, not sure who though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seem correct. Worth remembering that international loans are seen by Fifa as a temporary transfer so in that sense he was in no way connected to us during his loan spell.

samo II Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 If Engvall doesn't start tonight I'd suggest someone file a missing person report... I'm starting to suspect someone like Wilbs got annoyed at a lack of leg room on the bench, so made him up in order to get an extra seat in the dugout.

They are going to be even more 'up' for this game as they have the possibility of a local derby game away to Premier league Burnley in the next round. We are just not good enough to go 2 up ( take off our best players ) and stroll the rest of the game. Plus, they are likely to score 3 in the last 10 minutes!

If Vyner plays for us he can't go out on loan again, which seems to be the objective for him, if the last press conference I listened to was to be believed. Get the impression we'd rather the development of youth players takes place elsewhere, rather than in our squad, which I'm not sure o agree with, but think it means Vyner won't play for us this year. Happy to be proved wrong, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be proved wrong, mind you. Yea this was mentioned in an interview. Said the club comes first but it would mean mostly U23 matches for Zak the rest of the season. Think he's here just in case an injury to Little before(if?) we get a new RB in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedJim Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Every season we seem to have the same comments about the FA Cup - 'I don't mind if we lose as we need to concentrate on the league'. Winning breeds confidence, and how badly could we do with a win, of any kind, right now? Must-win for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
