eardun Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Heard an interview with LJ earlier in the week where he said that, following the poor performance on Easter Monday, he was now going to go with the players he trusts. Hence this line up I guess. He said similar after the Preston thrashing towards the end of last season - and that worked well. Fingers crossed this works just as well.

I would have preferred Kelly in, with O'Dowda coming off bench. I am more positive than I was though. I would play Diedhiou in a 4-3-3/4-1-4-1, but am at least more positive that Johnson is changing our usual 4-4-2 that would surely have seen us lose again.

EnclosureSurge Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Personally disappointed Dieudhiou isn't starting. His control isn't the best, his passing not much better, but he's one of the two best goalscorers we've got by a distance. We can create more with this midfield/attack, but who's going to finish the chances off? We're playing three players capable of putting a decent cross in, plus two full-backs, but haven't got a striker to win the challenge in the box (from free-play). He may have his critics on here, but he starts for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfish Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Perhaps LJ has already been sacked and our fore-thinking club has decided to pick the team each week using an OTIB analysis programme. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having O'Dowda back, and therefore hopefully getting the ball in the box a bit more, you need someone who will attack the ball. With Djuric presumably considered not fit enough to start then Diedhiou is absolutely the man for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole I can’t trust certain players, he bought them in, he is the head coach, he stood on the touch line & gets them for 15 minutes at half time. its bad management, if they are not doing as instructed then you manage them or get the senior players to manage them.

He'd be on the right of the middle 3, effectively an inside-right. Smith would be ping! middle of the central 3, or maybe Pack, but not Brownhill. Whichever way we play this, Brownhill's not in the middle, ironically his best position for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have his critics on here, but he starts for me. we all see it different. Some of our best 'footballing' performances were with Pato as attacking CM role behind BR. All before xmas. Dieudhiou has won me over to some degree, but lets hope today the 'mojo' returns. The most potential ever expensive signing for us not even made the bench. (unless I have missed something here) Writing on the wall and all but sealed. He will not be coming ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
