Give Freeman a rest. Nice compact two banks of 4 when defending with Tomlin dropping back to help out but when attacking, 3 good options to get forward and support Kodjia. Would increase our goal scoring chances I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker. Golbourne Smith. Pack Gladwin. Tomlin. Bryan Kodjia Subs: Fielding, Flint, Little, Reid, Freeman, Wilbraham, Burns Based on what you've said about Gladwin, and possible vulnerabilities in certain team selections, I reckon that the team you've picked above could well be the best of the bunch!

Good work, Red Dave. Email that team sheet through to Pembo! Apart from the fact Ayling is injured and I thought Gladwin was predominantly left sided so why play him on the right when you could put him on the left and have Burns on the right.

Unbelievable, didn't even spot Ayling in the team! Must be going blind, or trying to forget the fact he's injured! I honestly have no idea what side Gladwin prefers to play on, but I thought Red Dave did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WsM-Red Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I would say ROD Little Flint Baker Goulbourne Pack Smith Burns Tomlin Gladwin/Freeman Kodjia If we are being positive and attacking with a very good looking front 4 i.e. at home. For away games where we want to keep it a bit tight and a bit more defensive I would say ROD Little Flint Baker Goulbourne Burns Pack Smith Bryan Tomlin Kodjia With Tomlin dropping in when we haven't got the ball and either pack or smith joining in on attacks whilst the other stays back.

I think Freeman will start over Gladwin as we won't want too many on the pitch at the start who aren't match fit and with Joe Bryan rumoured to be struggling for tomorrow, he isn't available as a left hand side option. Even without Ayling, a bench presumably including Pearce, Gladwin, Wilbraham, and Agard looks much stronger than of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So and in summary: Pack is crap Freeman can't play any more. Flint's lost it. Baker- 'did he get sent off on purpose'? Joe Bryan no confidence - maybe a loan Williams not good enough at this level Agard too rubbish apart from when not selected Wilbs blowing by the time he comes out the tunnel Little never rated Wes Burns dividing opinion Reid too tiny & Kodjia not scored in 8 so probably should have been detained in Calais It appears we need to build a new team around Korey Smith and the injured Ayling and then we've got a chance.

Why wouldn't they keep possession of the ball? I go by what I've seen and Gladwin was the best ball player on the pitch against us at AG last season and against Sheffield Utd in the playoffs Smith ok at holding possession, but all defensive midfield duties will be on smiths shoulders and he is better chasing and pressing where ever it is needed. Therefore pack is needed to help out with winning the ball. He has done this well for the last 3 matches since we reverted to 443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheddarReds Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Haven't seen this elsewhere sorry if it's repeated. I'd go O'Donnell (I'm assuming FF still injured) Little Flint Baker Golbourne Smith Pack Burns Tomlin Bryan Kodjia Why? Ayling is injured so it almost has to be Little. Flint and Baker are big and strong, will hopefully have protection from full backs and defensive midfielders too. Golbourne ahead of Williams as I don't think Williams offers enough going forward as a full back, I'm not quite sure what he is actually. Burns and Bryan out wide because the last time I saw them (Middlesbrough then West Brom) they both did well I feel. Also Pemberton has said he likes having some of our academy in there. Tomlin behind Kodjia because I remember him being quite good when we've played against him in the past. Will be a tough one tomorrow and interesting to see how Pembo lines us up. COYR!
