Maneki Neko blackett is the best option imo
hes been better this season error wise, and id still prefer an error in midfield than the defence.
hes got a bit of everything you need tbf, athletic, can pass, and defend
Yeah, pretty much any lineup for Sat could be criticized (and will be, esp by people who don't submit their own).
We really are in dire straits, so in the circumstances, Blackett is not a bad shout, Wendy. I guess I could buy that.
Would like more height on Sat, imo. Their stoppage time headed equalizer against us at their place is still in my mind. Incorporating your Blackett suggestion, and going with back 3, how about this?:
.........................Martinez
..........Miazga.....O'Shea.....Moore
Yiadom.............Blackett................Ejaria
..............................Swift
Bodvarsson...................................Barrow
............................Oliveira
SUBS:
Meite
Richards
McCleary
Baker
Gunter
McShane
Jaak
Richards on for Eja (or Barrow).
Meite on for Bod.
McCleary/Baker on for someone.
That assumes all those will be fit, of course.
Btw, Rovrum aren't 'utter dogshite', either. Or at least, they haven't been lately. They've lost 1 game in 5 (2-1 to Leeds, on last min winner). They are unbeaten in their last 4 games, they have same points as we have, have lost less games than we have, and have scored the same number of goals. They will be well up for this.
