Need to go into this one positively, an early goal will get us three points.

Samba
Christie
Ribeiro
Worrall
Soh
Mighten
Ameobi
Sow
Yates
Cafu
Grabban

Ie more of the same please

[Strawberry Avenger]

Same again.

I'm liking the Yates and Sow generals with Cafu as the ACM.

Mighten and Grabban to keep their places.

And the CHs are emerging as a promising partnership.

Unchanged.

SA.

It's Christie that I have reservations about. He is constantly getting caught out of position.

But if we bring Jenko in, we lose the width on the right side because Jenko doesn't push high enough up the pitch! Decisions, decisions  :-/

Agreed mate. Unchanged.

If / when McKenna fit he must be a starter.

Pretty certain Hughton said he would be fit for Brum.

Would be Harsh for Soh to drop out. However what we definately cannot do is start tinkering with the formation to get all 3 on the pitch.

That would be madness. The summer is for trying that out. Not when outside of the bottom 3 by 1 point.

[ThePromisedLand]

Would think McKenna / Worrall must be the go to partnership & the quicker we establish these two together the better.

Sow anchoring midfield.

Grabban up top.

Any tinkering to be done around that solid foundation ( eg perm any 2 from Ameobi. Lolley, Knockaert & Mighten )

Knockaert might be going back soon. Do we have him until the beginning or the end of January?

Good question Sniff.

Can’t see him staying - if only the basis of cost.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Knockaert deal expires 7th Jan for some reason so he can play against Preston on 2nd but not the FA cup game.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I wouldn't mind if we extended his loan until the end of the season but I wouldn't spend money on signing him permanently.
