wendyredredrobin Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Swansea have had a dire transfer window and their skipper along with Routledge or out injured. Just behind us in the league and on a good run at the moment. But we lie 7th on a 12 game unbeaten run ourselves with one or two possibly coming back from injury and a fairly settled team/squad. 3,300 away fans and a big home crowd,so the atmosphere should be great this afternoon. 3 points will propel us into a top 6 berth with the Rams only managing a draw against Preston last night. WBA alao playing Boro today, so one orboth will drop points too. Guessing at the team, but maybe: Fielding Pisano Kalas Webster DaSilva Eliasson Palmer Pack O'Dowda Diedhiou Weimann (I want to fit Brownhill in there but not sure where) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall today is a great opportunity as we know we go 6th with a win, Swansea with a few key players gone/out, but historically this is when we tend to not deliver. Today we need the win if we are serious play-off contenders, personally think we will get it provided LJ doesn't do anything stupid like starting Pato!

Brownhill simply has to be in the team, I trust LJ will find a way to squeeze him in somewhere! COME ON YOU REDS, 2-0 CITY WIN, Diedhiou and finally Weimann to score again.

A Horse With No Name Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Cant see us starting with Elliason, Palmer and O' Dowda so I reckon Elliason on the bench with Wiemann starting. Only contentious position for me, is left back but I prefer De Silva, especially at home. Fielding, Pisano, Baker, Kalas, Da Silva, Brownhill, Pack, Palmer, O'Dowda, Wiemann, Diedhou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Niclas Eliasson to START . Grossly unfair and imo unwise if Weimann replaces him for KO. Palmer, O'Dowda, Eliasson, Fam Let's let THEM do the worrying PS I'm wondering how many would be looking to drop AW to the bench had he assisted a goal and scored a cracker last time out. Not many, i'm guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is a sub, where does this put £1.5m Eisa, who had a much better scoring record in League 2? The test will be if Semenyo actually gets onto the pitch, for more than the last 5 minutes, in the next few games. If not, why bring him back?

Jim Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 29 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Yes, if you look at it as 4141. I see it as 4231 in attack and 4141 in defence, with LJ concentrating on making sure the players know the transition phase. Which is why he emphasised after the bolton interview that Palmer needs to know his role, i.e. he can't just play the number 10 that he might want to.
