Garland-sweden Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 COD and Bakinson can not start after what we saw in Rotherham game. City was more than bad and those two players standout not in a good way so to say. Wonderboy with fresh legs, one of the young ones or Brunt. If Pato fit, bring him on. Millwall are in bad form and I think we have a good chance to take 3 points. Dont think we will play so bad as in Rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep.....just depends on who is carrying a knock or fatigued and with another match on Friday rotation is an absolute. None of us have inside knowledge so we’re all just speculating.

GrahamC Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 In our last four we have won, then lost, then won, then lost. Both defeats were with a side that was unchanged from the game before, so rotation only appears to have be seen as a last resort. After Friday we do finally have a break with no game for 8 days, so I really hope we maximise what we have available to us, though personally I think starting with Edwards would be a huge gamble. For me Mariappa, Brunt & Diedhiou should definitely all start, Massengo & Moore (the only other 2 subs with any sort of experience) possibly should. Semenyo & O’Dowda badly need a rest, Martin does, too. Bakinson appears to be not far enough progressed in his fitness to play consecutive games. We could only leave those 4 out by going to a back 3, Vyner or Moore is then a toss up for the last place.

nickolas Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I dont think we’ll see Bentley on Tuesday. He looked injured to me near the end of the 2nd half when kicking, and spent a lot of time looking over at the touchline. He could do with a rest. We’ve been so sh:te hes had way too much to do in the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentley Mariappa Moore Kalas Edwards Bakinson Nagy Brunt O'Dowda Wells Diedhiou Can't see Edwards starting yet, definitely not against Millwall, and I'd worry about COD's defensive capabilities. OK with the rest of it, but I guess you'd have to know how a few stand with tiredness. I doubt we'll see a surprise return from anyone, even if Pato is over his niggle it would be the bench at best.

Robin-hugh-blind Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 COD has made enough mistakes this season to sit out for a bit I think. I hate singling out 1 player but just always around when we concede. Frustrating as he clearly has talent. I'd go Bents Hunt vyner Kalas more dasilva Nagy. bakinson Samenyo Wells.

LondonBristolian Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Bit of a weird game for me in that Millwall was the last game I saw us play in person and, given that I'm not a season ticket holder, Christ knows when I'll see us again. I was due at Forest the week after lockdown but that obviously never materialised.... In terms of a team, I think we're struggling to find fit players that fit either of our preferred systems. I think we need a 2 to get the best out of Martin. Struggled on who to put alongside Nagy in midfield. Bentley Hunt Marappa Kalas Dasilva Nagy Rowe Semenyo O'Dowda Martin Diedhiou To be clear, I am in no way saying this is what I think our best team for the future is. Just who I would pick with what we have available. I don't think it would make for a pretty game but I'm hoping it would give us solidity at the back and in the middle, with enough on the flanks to create the odd chance and enough muscle up front to scrap for a result.

Henry Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Bentley Hunt Vyner Kalas Mariapa Rowe Massengo Nagy Semenyo Wells Fam We need to get back to 3-5-2 and have Wells in and around the 6 yard box. Bakinson needs to be managed, looked like he was struggling on Saturday and COD needs a rest. I’d like to see Semenyo use his running to get us up the pitch, with the energy of Massengo and Nagy protecting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I'm not going to put a team up but what I would say is personally i'd take a short term hit with the longer view in mind. There are several players out there who looked fatigued and there is no point in flogging a dead horse: I'd honestly be happy, even if we lose, with starting as many fringe players as possible and perhaps even some of the youngsters giving 110% against Millwall - yes, baptism of fire and some will get burned - but if it gives a few a proper rest i'd take that. Totally different point, but has our early season focus on extra fitness sessions and being fitter than the opposition come back to bite us? Perhaps was a mistake given the fast paced nature of this season and the inevitable injuries, hare and tortoise scenario.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
