Title: Team in - TC Starts
Post by: ChesterTheTabby on October 24, 2021, 02:10:32 PM
TC is Captain and starts - not sure starting him is the wisest choice... surely he must be planned to be subbed off due to match fitness. Reed on the bench? Reed should probably be starting no?

Lacking a bit of steel in midfield
Reed has to start.

I'm with you on that, thought he looked rusty and needs a few from the bench after so long out.

Here's hoping he settles back in from the start

My thoughts as well. Love TC but seems a bit premature for a start as he just came back.

i think it likely reed is not 100% and silva is expecting an open game so start with TC and see how it goes.
I think we all think tom needs a couple more half games and he said so himself so doubt he will play 90 mins.

Assume Reed carrying a knock.
Otherwise too risky to start Tom.

No one can accuse Silva of being conservative with his line-up. I worry it's too attacking but we'll certainly be taking the game to them.

Well at least we'll be having a go I suppose!

Seems as if we have two first choice midfielders who are not yet good for 90 minutes and Silva has tossed a coin to see who starts. Pity we are unable to start with three in midfield who are fully match fit.
Lets hope the gamble pays off in the shape of 1st half goals.

Could backfire with that attacking line up.
If Forest sit back which i think they will. We will get sucked in .
They will hit us on the break.
Cooper a good tactician will have done his homework.

He'd have done his homework I imagine thinking we wouldn't start with TC and Seri - Silvas tactics are still up for debate so interested to see what happens.

Interesting no sign of Cavalarho still, thought he was fit enough to be at least pn the bench by now. See Kenny is back , should keep Dennis on his toes.

No Mawson on the bench, is he injured?

Don't worry, TC and Seri are a good choice to start - Reed can be a tad pedestrian whereas these two are more dynamic

No need for Denis or Robinson to get caught out of position upfield
with 6 attackers on the pitch.
