URZZZZZip Martinez
Yiadom
Moore
McShane
Gunter
Miazga
Baker
Ejaria
Swift
Barrow
Meite
I think we need to set up to frustrate Stoke in the hope of coming away with a point. So I would bring in McShane alongside Moore and push Miazga into a CDM role.
Please no more dicking about with short passes deep in our own half that go straight to opposition players.
I wouldn’t be against that, miazga looks the sort of player capable of moving up to midfield, however would do McCleary/Harriott instead of barrow

ZipHound If theres one way to make sure we don't frustrate Stoke, its bringing in McShane and Gunter
Shut ya chops Houndy.
Blackett always switches off, gets on the wrong side of his opponent and ambles back having pushed forward. Gunter is hardly an upgrade but is more defensively minded.
As for McShane he is limited but will at least show some fight and it will mean we can have someone in Miazga who is defensively minded in a defensive midfield role. We have no fit CDM’s. Needs must Houndy. I won’t charge you for my advice on this occasion.

I don't disagree with the principle, but McShane or Gunter aren't the answer. Both haven't played for months either. I'd be (very slightly) more on board with Blackett at CB, but still not
I think we just play Kelly or Ejaria if fit with Swift and Baker and pray tbh.

Harriott deserves a chance but I would be reluctant to drop Barrow when he has scored two priceless goals in his last three games. We have few goalscoring threats in the team currently without removing one of them.

He’s also given away two goals (one at Ipswich was standing letting his man run past) and obviously the first one at Leeds. With the defence/midfield as poor as they are, we need our wingers to Help the fullbacks as much as possible which is why I’d rather two from meite/McCleary/Harriott. At a stretch I’d say barrow up front if you want to keep him in and then meite right and one of the other two left

Fair point about Barrow’s defensive weaknesses. His pitiful attempt at a tackle on Tuesday night started the rot after we had made a bright start.

leon Start with mccleary he’s defensively better and bring Barrow on with 15 to go.
As for defence midfield, honestly fcuk knows.

Yep. Barrow is quite clearly more effective as an impact sub. I am all for academy players getting a chance but this is far too crucial to be experimenting with East. I think Miazga as a DMC, shuffle Blackett into centre and reluctantly start Gunter at LB

SCIAG Miazga in midfield would be a huge experiment that would definitely weaken our back line and would probably weaken our midfield. Does he have the mobility and fitness to play there?

Hound that looks ok to me. Though still doubt they'd move Miazga there. Ilori possibly, but not MM
