Team for Forest

[@jolslover]

After today's disappointment what team would you start against Nottingham Forest? I expect a few Changes. Hopefully Kalas is back. Mcdonald is suspended 

If Kalas is back and assuming Madl is available I would go

Button, Odoi Kalas Madl Malone, Parker Johansen, LVC Jozabed Piazon, Martin

I think it could be healthy dropping Cairney (Who IMO is our best player) because he has been poor recently.

Is Tunicliffe injured?

Is Tunicliffe injured?

He is not injured, Do you think he should be starting? I personally do not.

 4-3-3               

                          Bettinelli
    Odoi       Kalas      Sigurdsson      Malone
         Johansen     Parker(c)     Jozabed
    Aluko               Martin             Kebano

I think this plays to our strengths best.

I like this but think there is not enough threat down the wings and could be pedestrian. Kebano looks like he needs to sit out, so perhaps Aluko could play. It's a shame Fredericks is always injured as we could really use him now.

I personally wouldn't play Johansen who was very loose yesterday and this could easily cost us. Would play Tunnicliffe or one of the youngsters.

Think LVC, Piazon or Jozabed are most likely candidates to make key plays for us at the moment.

Cairney, much like last season blows hot and cold which is such a shame. But we certainly have the personnel which means he should be rotated out when out of form. Its a luxury we can't afford to have him as undropable. He's yet to earn that right in my eyes

To be honest I can't see what Martin adds (hope I'm wrong).... I'd start with Smith and Cairney up front.....I'd use Cairney as a number 10........

I'd say Smith is our worst striker. I've said this many a time. Good option to have coming off the bench to lump it too but if hes starting something is very wrong.

Cannot believe anyone would pick madl over sigurdsson. Abraham chose and made a real effort to stand next to Madl rather than sigurdsson yesterday and it worked because he outmuscled/outpaced madl for his goal. then he got skinned by fat boy tomlin for the second. this on the back of his red card v. birmingham and poor performance in the cup midweek. 

in midfield i'd bring back tunnicliffe. mcdonald has looked awful lately and johansen yesterday was putting a lot of passes stray again.

as for the front 4, agree with dropping cairney for the reasons you say. kebano also looks like a waste of time. don't really have any confidence in jozaved doing much in this league. I'd be inclined to try something completely different


Button

Odoi --- Kalas --- Sigurdsson --- Malone

Tunnicliffe --- Parker

LVC --- Martin --- Aluko

Smith

A midfield of Parker and Tunnicliffe, As much creativity as a bag of cement. Two big lumps up top. Stuff of nightmares. Cruyff is turning in his grave.

Did we actually pay 4 mill for Kebano? Him and the other imports
were all poor yesterday.
I said in the window that we needed to sign players from this
Country who have experienced the hurly burly of this league.Some
of these foreign players cant handle it.imo

Posts like this personally offend me, Look at last year, Signed lots of championship experience and we did nothing. Buying abroad is by far the better option when it comes to recruitment.

Sorry but we'll have to disagree.
Last year with the management we had, yes he panic buyed
the wrong players, doesnt mean we wouldn't have got in better from
our leagues this window.
They cant hack it in the championship, Jozabed is a tart
Like Ruiz im afraid...Odoi got bossed yesterday.

There you go 'Mince' Offending  people again!
Let's just stick with the players who did so well against Birmingham / Burton / Wigan / Bristol City / etc. Law of averages it must pay off eventually!!!!

         Johansen     Parker(c)     Jozabed
    Aluko               Martin             Kebano

I think this plays to our strengths best.

Johansen and Jozabed? NO NO NO. The only good thing if they did play is that if we are in our away strip they may get their passing sorted. They seemed to be always passing to players join red yesterday.

[epsomraver]

Drop Button, he is a clown, he thinks he is an outfield player and gets caught out, his distribution is rubbish, why is he stopping Marcus getting back in the team? another stats decision?

Not hard to find the same or better for the same money

Odoi - James Husband
Johansen - Rohan Ince
Jozabed - Tom Cairney
Kebano - Sone Aluko
Ayite - Ben Marshall

Johansen - Rohan Ince --- ahahaha. Rohan Ince had terrible technical ability for a CM. He doesnt make Brightons bench. Ben Marshall would have cost a lot more than Ayite. Why are you ruling out these players? They need time to settle.

Jozabed looks really good each time I've seen him. Keeps the ball and can create. Surely a good option?

[Chutney]

The changes to make are clear for me, button needs to be dropped as he inspires 0 confidence and the defence look scared to play the ball back to him, he's also not a great shot stopper.

Martin needs to be dropped as he is putting in no effort whatsoever, he barely broke a sweat in any game he;s played for us so far.

if Ayite is fit he needs to start as Kebano offers very little end product and would be better attacking a tired defence.

Sigurdsson doesn't look up to it at all and maybe needs time to train, wouldn't start him, especially after Kalas with Madl were so effective at the start of the season.

For me the team should be (injuries allowing):

          Betinelli

Odoi Kalas Madl Malone

   Tunnicliffe Parker

Cairney  Aluko    Ayite

        Woodrow

Why do people think Tunnicliffe and Parker is the answer as a midfield pairing? No creativity their.

And Woodrow as our goal tooting hero? Oh dear
