4-2-1-3 let's change it up a bit. Can't get worse than it currently is. Knockhaert playing a free role behind the top 3. Can't afford to draw so may as well go for it now

Stockdale

Bruno
Goldson
Greer (Dunk if injured)
Ridgewell

Kayal
Stephens

Knockhert

LuaLua
Zamora
Baldock

THIS

In the Championship, we should be ( should have been ) bringing through youngsters even at the expense of losing games whilst ensuring our Championship status.

But we are still in the situation of playing 'seniors' ( some of whom are costing us dearly ) rather than using them to promote new blood. What IF we ever arived at the PL, we would have to ditch them PDQ to have any chance of survival. That with perhaps two or three exceptions.

Our current plan / policy is never going to get anywhere.

I think the board needs to have a reality check !

LuaLua will not start, he is nowhere near fit. He looked knackered after 5 mins of being on and lost the ball more than actually giving it to anyone, don't think he'll start for a good few weeks

Knockaert

Time to give Harper a go on the bench. Why did he not play at Hull?

From what's been said on here Dunk didn't have a bad game apart from his slip so not sure we should drop him ... even tho' too many errors recently. Lua Lua clearly isn't ready to start yet. What's the problem with Wilson? Started off his spell with us like a house on fire and has steadily gone downhill.

My team would be:
Stockdale
Bruno
Greer if fit or Goldson
Dunk
Ridgewell
Kayal
Stephens
Knockaert
Manu
Baldock
Zamora

Baldock probably has no more than 45 mins in him after coming back from injury so Hemed and Wilson to replace him and Bobby after 45-60 mins. I would start Baldock as we need our strongest possible eleven out there from the start. Murphy apparently continued his poor run of form so I would give Elvis one more opportunity playing out wide.

Just play Knockaert, LuaLua, Baldock and Zamora from the start. I don't rate Baldock as a goalscorer but will at least show more movement than lead legged Hemed.

Why we shipped out JFC and continue to play an ageing crofts is beyond me. I'm not a massive lover of JFC but he's a better option than crofts who for me is someone to break up play and that's it really.

Slight revision, LuaLua will probably not start.

We need heart, experience, enthusiasm, and to get the job done with a professional performance.


Stockdale

Calderon
Greer
Goldson
Ridgewell

Knockaert
Kayal
Stephens
Crofts

Towell

Zamora

Subs : Maenpaa, Bruno, Murphy, Lua Lua, Baldock, Wilson, Hemed

Stockdale
Bruno ... Greer (1) ... Goldson ... Ridgewell (2)
Knockeart ... Stephens ... Kayal ... Baldock (3)
Towell (4)
Hemed​

Subs: Maenpaa, Wilson, Calderon, Dunk, Zamora, Crofts, LuaLua (5).

Notes:
(1) Dunk if Greer unfit; would then have to put Rea or Chicksen on the bench;
(2) There isn't going to be a new signing - Ridgewell is currently our LB;
(3) He may not like playing out there, but he was getting pretty good at it before his injury; Murphy is way off form, and Manu is ........... err, well.
(4) Touch of desperation; going for a 4411 rather than a 442 here, but Wilson has been chronically out of form too;
(5) Not ready to start yet.
