Midfielder Knight still at right back. Centreback Roberts at left back. McGoldrick out with "a niggle". Young Robinson on the bench. No Amadou Diallo. Midfield looks pretty defensive. Only Sibbo and Stretton as attacking options off the bench. Guessing everyone on the bench will get a run out at some point.

I've got zero issue with Roberts playing left back. He doesn't look out of position even a little bit and he looks really good on the ball.

Knight at RB I can see the thinking. We've not got a RB on the books aside from Odurah, we are playing our fullbacks almost like auxiliary midfielders and we are going into a division were we'd expect to dominate on the ball. Basically Knight there is "cheating" a little and making use of what we have.

Is it the best use of Knight's talents? Yes and no. He doesn't really fit tactically with we are trying to do as he's not a 10, nor a deep lying midfielder or an out and out winger. However he's very suited for that style of "cheaty" right back.

I'd agree that on the face of it it's a little too defensive but Smith needs minutes and perhaps Rosenior felt like he needed to see Hourihane play 10.

Would’ve preferred to see something a bit more “round pegs in round holes” and offensive, like:

Wildsmith

Oduroh Davies Cashin Forsyth

Knight Bird Hourihane

Mendez-Laing Collins Barkuizen

Nevertheless, it’ll be good to see Smith play for the first time. Interested to see what he brings to that side.

I agree about the front 6. That's probably what I'd do with what is available. However I'd much rather play Roberts over Fozzy with how we are setting and in principle I don't hate the idea of trying Knight at RB.

Game is free too watch on youtube....is via LCFC channel though

I'm watching on that channel, it's got the commentary on in subtitles, which are hilarious, they seen to be using some kind of Voice recognition, which is writing nothing like what's been said.
