Who Misses Out.. Defence

I got the feeling he will start, show a real statement of intent. I wouldn't think the club will promise first team football to any player but I think AEH will expect it. It will be up to the other players to make the manager pick them for the other places. I think Cotterill said before Watford that Williams hamstring was sore so that might decide tomorrow, other than that someone is always injured or suspended so if there are more players than spaces it's a nice problem to have.

For me it should be back to 4-4-2 ASAP with

 

Baldock Jet

Bryan Reid Pack Wagstaff

Cunningham El Abd Flint Osbourne

Parish

 

Fielding, Williams, Burns, Elliott, Maloney, Gillett, Barnett

 

In games El-Abd has started or been subbed into play from November til last week his record is:

 

W (3-0) v Blackburn (h) (used as sub on 93'),

W (0-1) v Wigan (a)

W (3-1) v Leicester (h) (used as sub on 18'),

W (0-1) v Middlesborough (a)

D (0-0) v Huddersfield (h)

L (3-2) v Charlton (a)

W (0-1) v Blackpool (a)

D (1-1) v Bournemouth (h)

W (1-0) v Reading (FAC)

W (1-0) v Birmingham (h) (used as sub on 91')

 

Collecting just two yellow cards in this period.

 

In two matches in this period he did not play, Barnsley (h) L (1-2) (not on bench) & Bournemouth (a) D (1-1) (unused sub)

Not sure why people are assuming Williams will be dropped. SC has made it clear he likes a left footer on the left side of the back 3. Proven by his use of Fontaine.

 

I would be very surprised if he continued with a back 3 and dropped Del. I personally think Osbourne could come under pressure. He was very poor at Watford and although I rate him highly his distribution is very poor. 

 

It's all guess work though but we do have healthy competition for places at the back now.

That is never a 4-4-2 with JET involved though, always a 4-4-1-1 which failed us for 18 games this season
