Baldock

Leaves Wilson Towell Calderon Elvis and 3 others on the bench

 

[Keith the Kipper]

We need to win by a couple at least to get to extra time and I'm sorry but however good a team player he is , Baldock is not a goal scorer. We need to start with Kazenga , Murphy , Skalak and Wilson .

 

[Bigtomfu]

Genuinely don't get the Wilson slag off a thon. What else were he or Baldock supposed to do? With their respective stature the only way either of them were going to thrive would be for either through balls to run on to - none came - or our wingers beating their man and putting low fizzing crosses across the six yard box - didn't happen. Without a Hemed style player neither of them will thrive without those other things happening.

So with the rant aside here would be my starting XI:

Stockdale
Bruno Greer Dunk Rosenior
Skalak Kayal Towell Murphy
Wilson Baldock

Subs:

Maenpaa
Calderon
Bong
Elvis
Crofts
Lua Lua
Zamora*

*Even if we can only get ten minutes out of him and in doing so it keeps him out of a final. We NEED a talisman.

 

[Eggmundo]

I'd rather see Ince or JFC in the midfield than Towell at the moment.
Nothing against him, he's just not ALBION enough for a battle like Monday's.

Stockdale
Bruno-Greer-Dunk-Bong
Rosenior-Towell-Kayal-Lualua
Skalak
Baldock​

Did I see that Kayal picked up his 10th booking? Does that mean he's out for the game?

It's interesting how many people are putting Baldock in ahead of Wilson. I'd play Wilson purely because he is a better finisher and because Baldock doesn't look like scoring whatsoever.

If O'Grady was still here I'd start him, which tells it's own story about where this season has gone wrong.

Cut off point for 10 yellows was in March. Kayal plays (if not injured).

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Think I'll take my boots on Monday, if I can find them.

Anbody got any dubbin I can borrow?

 

[J2 DOG]

No place for Wilson on monday, would rather play one of our own youngsters who would give something like 100%! LuaLua can do one aswell ! Squad frailties will be Chris`s first priorities promoted or not!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Stockdale
Bruno Greer Dunk Bong
Kayal Towell
Skalak Murphy Lua Lua
Baldock

 

[TSB]

Certainly wouldn't play Wilson.

Looked like he couldn't care less, reminded me of Jesse Lingard celebrating the goal at Derby that made it 1-4 in injury time.

Send Wilson back to Manchester now and I'll be happy

Bruno ---- Dunk -----Bong

---Skalak - Baldock--Murphy.

I can see the advantage in foregoing a defender & only playing three across the back line when we have to go on all out attack.

However, we do need a target man, and Wilson it will have to be. One from either Skalak, Murphy or LuaLua will have to be relegated to the bench.

 

[Dan The Man]

Somehow we need options on the bench to change game, but just don't see it......can Houghton play?

Cool. Thanks for the clarification, NSN.

Who the actual **** is HOUGHTON?

I take the point re Baldock. However, three of the other four you mention aren't target players either!, and Wilson, although allegedly a centre forward, hasn't exactly been prolific either, and with a move back to his parent club looming, what does the result matter to him?

Leaving us with ONE striker...
Not a good idea.

It's the one area of recruitment the club haven't got right. We were always vulnerable by only having 3 strikers for the last few months. Will have to be rectified this time in the summer.
