Rab a dab doo Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Who would have thought at the start of season fans would be saying that our home game against Wycombe was the biggest game of our whole season. Not many me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 We have to be careful of there aerial ability and directness. Think this is a game for Davies, might be wise to go with Forsyth and Wisdom at full back just for the height and physicality. Definitely want to see Bielik and Bird start together. As people have said already, big big game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe im just think in pure height terms? But that Aerial battles won stat is pretty damning for Forsyth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As people have said already, big big game Forsyth and Wisdom full backs. Bird and Bielik in midfield. I know we’re poor, but surely we can do better than playing for a 0-0 vs Wycombe!

Looks like he doesn't get skinned as often as Forsyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think they'd probably target Buchannan - and it think that'd probably be a mistake, he's better in the air than you'd think looking at him and provides infinatly more as an outlet and going forwards than Fozzy does. The Foz of five years ago was a beast, but injuries and age have really taken their toll on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of Forsyth but the time has come to stick with young Buchanan - he's more likely to be our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team which does the tiniest bit of scouting will realise you only need to float a ball into the general direction of Byrne and Wisdom. I'm surprised they haven't been exploited much this season.

We dominated possession in Fozzy's first two starts, with him racking up over 80 passes in each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 We're gonna have to be prepared to a scrap for every ball in this one. Their manager Gareth Ainsworth played a lot of his football under that 'purist' John Beck so I'm presuming his footballing philosophy will be based around that kind of game. With that in mind I'd definitely go with a midfield including at least 2 of either Knight, Shinnie and Bielik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinnitdough Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I hope Jozwiak plays wing instead of forward. Sibley to start, he seems to be our hungriest player atm. ?

Well Rooney ( 1 goal ) isn’t playing shinnie ( 1 goal ) wasn’t playing Marriott ( 1 goal ) is out on loan and injured which leaves Waghorn ( 2 goals ) so he will have to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
