Unchanged starting XI. Bong to replace Calde on the bench. Kaz will displace Skalek if he has done enough in training to merit a bench spot.
whatever happens in selection, is this possibly our strongest match day squad in the Amex era?
Exciting times
Same starting eleven. Same bench.
So you are dropping Baldock from the squad altogether, after scoring / assisting in successive games?
Right you are.
(I'm surprised you haven't got Buckley in their somewhere, tbh)
Wonder if we'll see Greer back at any time? As good as Goldson has been, we could have done with Greer at Cardiff for his organisational skills as much as anything. Games we're dominating through the middle, not so much, but when teams run at us through there like Carrdiff did, we could use him

So i'm guessing two changes only for tomorrow.
Bong must be a likely replacement for Calde on the bench and this is a bit of a punt . but KLL in for Skalak (assuming he's fit).
Can't see anything other than an unchanged first 11 after 2 x 4-0 wins.

So your logic is to drop a superior defensive player, who is more physically imposing and quicker, for a guy who you think organises us better, based on one game? Even though you're overlooking the two clean sheets in a row where Greer didn't play? And you're overlooking the fact that most of the issues in that game came as a result of Calderon being out of position, and our midfielders not tracking runs...

I didn't say that, I don't think Goldson deserves to be dropped. However I'm pointing out that Greer brings different things to the table, things that may have benefited us against cardiff and possibly also today. Nor do I think our captain and a guy who was ever-present prior to his injury should automatically be considered dropped for good.
