Ghost of Clough

For the last few games I've tried to guess what lineup Warne would pick. Just in case Warne has been looking at my team to help him with his own selection, this time I'm going with my own team...
Wildsmith
Wilson   Nelson   Cashin   Elder
Bird
Thompson   Sibley
Mendez-Laing      Blackett-Taylor
Collins
Subs: Vickers, Bradley, Ward, Hourihane, DRobinson, Barkhuizen, Weston
 
433 because it gives us the control in midfield we need (and we havent got another senior striker to play alongside Collins). The front 3 ince chosen are our biggest goal threats available.
Wilson starts at RB but gets moved to RW when Mendez-Laing and Blackett-Taylor have tired - Ward on at RB and Barkhuizen LW.
Wildsmith in goal will instill more confidence in the defence and the crowd.
A youthful midfield 3 to provide energy, with Bird at the base to actually link our defence and midfield together. Hourihane to find a new role as super-sub... coming on late to shut games down or to provide something different from set-pieces. Meanwhile, DRobinson is eased into L1 football.

433 with the ball? Be more adventurous and go 235. With the same personell listed above:
Wildsmith
Nelson   Cashin
Bird   Hourihane   Thompson
Wilson   Mendez-Laing   Collins   Blackett-Taylor   Elder

That is correct, both been part of the Academy for a while. 

Rio Canoville was at Notts County 6 years ago. He's in the U16s now, but don't know if he's just on tiral at our club our joined us at some point permanently. I think it's his dad (Former Torquay and Notts County defender Lee Canoville) who runs a coaching academy called Canonville Coaching, based in Nottingham

If I had to guess, Canoville is a CB and Mintus is an AM

Of Bird's 35 passes agaisnt Reading, 20 (57%) went forwards, 8 (23%) went sideways or didn't go far enough forward for it to be worthwhile callign forwards, with just 7 (20%) going backwards.
Hourihane's pasing figures will be similar, if not slightly better due to playing slightly deeper and taking free-kicks.

People need to get over it. He will have made mistakes, but it's clear to me he also has regrets. Despite that, and still getting abused by fans, he has stuck by the club to make amends. Quantuma felt he was worth keeping around. Clowes has made the decision to keep him as his CEO. Move on.

The same Ipswich who made 7 signings in the summer and another 2 so far this month?

Yeah the petty name-calling marks him out as a proper whopper in my book.
Oh, hang on... 🫢

ITK ?

Dropped from the entire squad and not named on a bench which had spaces?

Whittaker's advantage was his brain and technical ability. It was his lack of physicality that meant he struggled with the step up, just as he had done stepping up from the U18s to the U21s. The biggest problem he had was having a manager who didn't understand what type of player he was and ddin't have the patience to develop him.
With Brown, it's not a case of him being a stronger/faster playing at youth level and now he's coming up against strogner/faster defenders... He's just not mentally ready to play for our first team. It's sort of a mental block of beliving that he is capable of playing in League 1 at this moment in time. Cashin has talked about similar issues when he was thrown in the first team - he didn't think he deserved to be in the team and was just there becuase we had no one else. Luke Thomas went over to the wrong wing on his debut becasue of nerves.

Warne opted to use Mendez-Laing in the middle rather than playing John-Jules there. What hope does an academy player have?

Maybe Warne as decided against signing a striker after seeing Sonny Bradley up front briefly the other night.
Signing a defender frees Bradley up to take up a strikers position.
 

You know when people were debating about KM's credibility on here, it's exactly this petty name-calling that makes him appear unprofessional in my eyes.

Gellaw 202 (the stadium) and The Club are both owned by Clowes Developments. The £750k is essentially moved from the left hand to the right hand. I believe a 'real rent' has to be paid for P&S purposes.
