Never considered putting Kazim in goal and having a Marshall upfront. I like Byrne and Buchanan as inverted wing backs, but I don't think the balance is right with Wisdom and Forsyth as inside forwards as well. SKRam 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_Martin 949 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Subs: Roos, Buchanan, Te Wierik, Evans, Bird, Sibley, Holmes, Waghorn, Hector-Ingram I worry about Wisdom at CB especially against Stoke as he's very poor at heading. So maybe Evans or Te Wierik instead? Forsyth may need a rest, we all know what he's like with injuries. Buchanan on in 2nd half. Won't get 90mins out of Ibe either so he will have to be subbed in 2nd half. Knight over Bird to cover Shinnies suspension as he offers a lot more energy and tempo. Lawrence in his best position but if he's having another off day bring on Sibley half time. DCFClks and Xlor 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Ibe should be starting, should come on as sub. Other than that agree. Chris_Martin 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jimbo jones 2,811 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Expect a tight game again, wouldn’t be shocked at another 0-0, hopefully we nick a goal somewhere. Hector was the best 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RadioactiveWaste 12,357 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Waghorn for Holmes and Bird for Shinnie, Byrne comes in for Davies with wisdom moving to CB. 3 changes, 2 of them forced. The hard work, team cohesion and confidence continue to grow. We score 2 and win 2-1. The Stokimons are successful repelled. The Rooneylution gathers pace. kevinhectoring and OohMartWright 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Probably Wisdom but I can see him struggling with Stokes height. Evans should only play CB in a back 3 in my opinion. Not sure what's happened to MTW. Chris_Martin 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Big Bad Bob 210 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Whilst we have been better defensively recently (2 clean sheets on the trot), I don't know where the goals are going to come from? We tend to set up defensively (2 holding midfielders) and then we have either Holmes or Lawrence (or both) on the pitch. In the last two games, we have had Ibe on the bench. I would have liked to have seen him come on as I think he may offer us something different / more. But even when we do push up on the wing, there seems little movement in the middle / in the box, so crosses are usually wasted. Link to post Share on other sites
hiltonram 291 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Still would like to see us play two up front as 2 or 3 shots on target per game will not get us very far. The other night not a shot on target at all but a good point at the end of the night. I'd go 442 so that it gives us a better chance of scoring goals.

Ghost of Clough 8,994 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Stoke have a lot of injuries right now. Some may be rushed back for the weekend: Davies, Gunn, Batth, Clucas, Mikel, Thompson, Allen, Campbell, Brown, Fletcher, Gregory McClean is also suspended Souttar is currently self isolating, but his last day of that is Friday. With the limited squad he may be on the bench. They refuse to play Wimmer or Bauer. With their lack of attacking players available (only Powell, Verlinden, Ince and Vokes) expect them to set up very defensively, even by Stoke's standards. Link to post Share on other sites

uttoxram75 17,058 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 9 hours ago, Jourdan said: To be honest, I would also leave Wisdom out based on his performances this season. He produces too many costly mistakes and lapses in concentration. If Wis could read a game better and keep concentration a tad more he'd be a Premier League regular. He's quick enough, strong as an ox, tidy enough with the ball at his feet. He can chip the ball harder than most players can volley it but, but........ So frustrating when he looks commanding for half an hour then drifts under a cross or fails to see someone coming round the back of him. I find myself shouting at the telly!

He says we are playing them at a good time as a big injury crisis has hit them......fingers crossed he is right, he usually is..... Yep, hearing this from a few chip eaters at work, horrendous injury list. Thing is though they are doing ok, lost the other night only because they missed a penalty when 1-0 up. Tough game, McLean suspended is a blow for them. If we continue to improve we have nothing to fear, a tad more composure and we are as good as anyone in this league.

Norman 3,305 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) I'd rest Kazim and start Waghorn. Byrne back in at RB, shuffle Wisdom to CB. Then the difficult one is RW. Holmes doesn't deserve his place. Ibe or Lawrence? Hard to know, especially with the lack of games Ibe has played in the last year. But then I just remembered how bad Lawrence is, so I'd go with Ibe RW. Edited December 10, 2020 by Norman Link to post Share on other sites
England Ram 844 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Do we know why Sibley was not even on the bench v Brentford? Worrying if he is being put in the starting side by many and looks out of favour to Rooney? Hope he comes good though as he is one who can create and put defences under pressure. I would play him in the 10 role and move Knight next to Christian. Bryne at right back and Wisdom CB. I would have said Mike TW but he seems to have disappeared as well.
