How many changes for Tuesday?

[Geriatric Seagull]

Unlike many managers who seem to believe that the best results come from having a settled team (injuries and suspensions aside) Hyypia appears to think the opposite. The policy can hardly be said to have succeeded so far, so how many changes will he make for the next game? And who will be in/out?

 

[BensGrandad]

2 for me.

Ankergren for Stockdale
Ince alonside of Holla for Teiexeira.

 

[Rugrat]

Need to win this!

Baldock and COG from the start

KLL playing wide

Bruno (if fit) for Calderon

POC and JFC playing forward

Holla and Ince behind

 

[dannyboy]

11 for me

 

[SamPeters18]

team i would go with is

Walton
Chicksen - Greer - Dunk - Bennett
Ince - Holla - JFC
McCourt - LuaLua
O'Grady

Subs
Stockdale, Bruno, Hughes, Agustien, Gardner, Baldock, Colunga
​

So that would be 5 changes for me
Walton in for Stockdale - Give the young English keeper a game and that may kick Stockdale up the backside to realize he wont be safe for every game

Chicksen in a RB for Calderon, even though Chicksen is naturally a LB, with the formation we play...he would be ideal to be able to get up and down the pitch

Ince in for Gardner - he was great last season, one of our best players and i feel he needs to be in the side and would help Holla out which could give JFC a chance to roam forward a little bit more

McCourt in for Teixiera - With Teixiera coming off with fear of concussion i feel Hyppia will rest him for Rotherham on Saturday

O'Grady for Baldock - Stange one you lot might think but he needs to be given a chance and is the taller out of the strikers we got and feel he would hold the ball up more to give LuaLua and McCourt a chance to run onto a through ball and you never know he may finally get a goal!

 

[BatterSeagull]

Walton

Calderon Greer Dunk Bennett

Bruno Ince Holla Gardner

O'Grady Baldock

subs:- Ankergren, Chicksen, Hughes, McCourt, Lua Lua, Colunga

 

[perseus]

If Ince is going to be a good player he has got to have the games.

Rob Hunt is our reserve right back. Maybe he could make the bench?

O'Grady was particularly poor. Colunga did much more in 13 minutes.

Holla and Lualua did not look as fit as they ought to be. Bruno was missed.

 

[GT49er]

Walton

Calderon Greer Dunk Bennett

Bruno Ince Holla Gardner

O'Grady Baldock

subs:- Ankergren, Chicksen, Hughes, McCourt, Lua Lua, Colunga

Don't like flair players then? No McCourt, no Tex.........

Holla and Ince behind

Yep, playing with eleven outfield players might give us an edge. Let's hope the ref can't count!

 

[BensGrandad]

You are obviously not talking about the game against Middlesbro as COG did more when he came on than the rest put together, and I am no fan of his, but can see what he dd.

 

[BensGrandad]

If fit we have to start with Bruno at right wing back Ince and Holla in front of the CBs to offer defensive protection when the wingbacks get forward and CMS and Baldock up front to keep Huddersfield penned back in their own area as we did at Ipswich untuil CMS was taken off.

Like your reasoning. Ince would give the defence the added protection and O'Grady's holding the ball uup would certainly support the rest in midfield to roam forward. Only thing I'd say is that it doesn't give a natural outlet for Lua Luas crosses to find and the system would work best if Crofts was available, But it certainly seems the best system and approach we have right now. Haven't seen enough of Chicksen to say whether that would work.

 

[Soulman]

Hopefully Gardiner and JFC will not play, if so just one of them. We never seem to hit teams on the break could be because JFC and Gardener rarely play a meaningful forward pass, they seem content with going backwards or at best sideways.
As shown yesterday, teams are not worried about us if their attack breaks down, they know that any of their players out of position can easily get back in time.
Pace and a decent striker is desperately needed, otherwise we just need to keep scoring from corners and rely on Greer and Dunk.

 

[Goldstone1976]

The best I've seen us play this season are the few occasions when both Ince and Holla have played. I think I'd start Paddy (for Tex). Up front? Let's be honest: it doesn't really matter, does it? None of them are scoring. I've been quite impressed with Co'G's hold up play and at least he's taller than the others, so he might get on to a cross, I spose. Meh.

 

[nwgull]

Was our best performance against Cardiff? If so, play the same outfield 10 (injuries permitting) and give Stockdale a break for a few games.

No Forest away imo

No Forest away imo

Wouldn't argue too strongly with that game either; another option would be 2nd half v Watford. Whichever it is, play a similar 11 and similar tactics.

 

[MJP]

Ince was a large part of our defensive prowess last season breaking up counter attacks exactly like the one that led to Adomah's goal yesterday; so I would have him in from the start alongside Holla. LuaLua JFC and Tex/McCourt depending on Tex's head injury behind Baldock.

 

[T soprano]

6 man midfield, not worth having a striker as we haven't any good enough at the club

 

[BensGrandad]

I think our best was at Ipswich until SH took CMS off and this allpowed them to get forward b ioth Baldock and CMS had kept them pinned in their own area until then.
