Waghorn off in the 2nd half, with Washington and Blackett-Taylor seeing the game out in a 523. If we're a couple up, we could rest Mendez-Laing and play Sibley further forward. Starting 11 Wildsmith Nelson Forsyth Cashin Ward Smith Hourihane Sibley Adams Waghorn Mendez-Laing Finishers Wildsmith Nelson Forsyth Cashin Wilson Thompson Adams Elder Sibley Blackett-Taylor Washington Please Mr Warne don't mess about with the team like this on Saturday, lets just get the game won and don't take any risks.

I thought Saturday 3pm games were overseas only? (EDIT: Perhaps it’s because it’s an international weekend?) I'm glad I saw this. I'll definitely be tuning in, as previously I was planning on listening to it while watching Chesterfield on TNT. And yes the Saturday 3pm blackout is only for non international weekends.

Adams went to AM when Gayle came off Both wing backs were subbed. Waghorn not fit enoguh for a full game, so will need to be subbed for Washington Thompson came off the bench to play CM The only real difference is not bringing Blackett-Taylor off the bench. He's played as a more traditional winger in the recent sub apps, despite us starting with our current version of a front 2. Jortat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I cant see Sibley & Ward starting at wingbacks this weekend. I dont think Warne will risk Ward starting especially when he has Wilson available. I think he will then go woth a more defensive LWB in Elder but then having Sibley as an attacking option from the bench....

It was a different game on Saturday, we hadn't got control of the midfield (so he had to change things) plus Gayle went off injured so they were virtually enforced changes. I agree Waggy cant last a full game and fresh legs may be needed in the centre of the park at some stage later in the game. I don't like the idea of making so many changes unless circumstances dictate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the idea of making so many changes unless circumstances dictate. Using all of our subs allows us to play the way Warne wants. From our last 6 games, it's no surprise the better performances have come from being able to bring more player off the bench and keep the starters fresher. Barnsley - 4 changes Charlton - 4 changes Port Vale - 4 changes Bristol Rovers - 5 changes Reading - 5 changes Bolton - 5 changes Out of the 8 games we haven't won since November, we used all 5 subs only twice (Reading and Peterborough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the idea of making so many changes unless circumstances dictate. From his pre match press conference circumstances may well dictate, I guess that’s partly the point in GoC’s original suggestion. Gayle is injured for this weekend at least based on the press conference, Barkhuizen hasn’t been mentioned in the pre match stuff but was subbed on Sat due to injury so it could be that he’s unfit for this weekend, same with Ward. Bird isn’t fit yet. Collins isn’t fit yet. Gayle and Barkhuizen being unfit and Waghorn/Washington still working their way back could dictate what we do in terms of changes. Warne said in the press conference that Waghorn, Washington, NML and CBT are his attacking options for Saturday. He also discussed which formations and options he’s got to consider with Wildsmith, Cash and Nelson probably being the only players guaranteed of being involved.

When interviewed post-match I feel he's nearly always given reasons for his starting eleven and /or substitutions. You may not agree with his thinking but that's hardly what you're seemingly suggesting has been the case in the past. ariotofmyown and NellyRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if we need to make 4 or 5 substitutions during the game due to tactical reasons, form, injuries or players not yet up to match fitness then so be it.

CapeTownRams Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 If CBT doesn’t now get a run out one has to wonder why on earth we bought him at all… certainly in January for a supposed fillip to the team/squad for the run-in… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I’d guess we thought he was fitter than he is, and that his attitude to training would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matchday Fred Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Tempted to play Hourihane for this one. Need to stay positive and go for goal. His left boot may get the goal, he has been rested, and I don’t think we are necessarily playing against the most high intensity midfield. sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
