It would actually be very interesting to see Julius play No.10 in front of Vicko and Manny.

Alas, it will probably never happen now.

Honestly baffled at Goodwin persisting with Watters, Richards and KK.

My team would be

Adams
SCH lovu Graham
Naamo ageyi sevelj ferry
Sapsford russell farrugia

Richards, I can understand as the only other option is an untested at this level keeper.

For me, Watters is baffling.

KK flips a coin before each game.  Heads he plays well, tails he doesn't.

I find it hard to believe people are picking SCH  after that performance on Saturday tbh. Yes he's young, yes he's ours, but he's not ready. Needs to go out on loan all next season at championship level and learn how to defend and to concentrate.

He made a mistake with a poor back pass that cost us a goal, but it didn't affect the result as we were already 2-0 down.  He's going to be a United player next season, Keresztes might not be.  I'd rather have him get more first team experience with these last games of the season which will benefit him for next season instead of playing Keresztes who has been more prone to making mistakes than SCH has.

I reckon Keresztes is the one who has the worst concentration levels at the club.

 
They also tend to play on opposite sides though? SCH plays on the right but you'd have him on the left instead of the 2 naturally left sided players we already have? In a defence thats been all at sea that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I genuinely dont think him turning out in end of season dead rubbers is going to do much for his development, get him out on a full season loan next year and bring in some real experience in the heart of defence instead. By all means leave out keresztes too and play a back four would be my much preferred option though.

Sorry, switch Iovu and SCH then.....

 
Ok lets put our other ( and best RCB although the bar is very low ) on the left instead 🤣

We have 2 left sided players for that position and you want to play players out of position, it doesn't make sense to me honestly.  Yes none of them are any good but why make it even worse? Just play the back three from the derby or play a back 4 is my choice. 4-2-3-1 with Strain and Naamo as proper full backs and Farrugia and Ferry as wide players in the 3, with sapsford playing 10 and Russell as the main man

These games are nothing games

Not understanding why we are playing boys who aren’t gonna be here next season

Adams should be playing in goals for me, should have been in after the derby I can understand him not making his debut in such a big game

This is a big game as well, for the fans and for the manager.

 
Exactly why he should have been in against Killie, so will be Richards again 🤦🏻‍♂️

We really just shouldn't have changed the team at all tbh. We'd just won the derby 3-0, it was the first time all season We'd won back to back league games too so why chop and change,especially the backline. Why some folk want to end the season with a string of defeats just to try out some kids is beyond me

I expect it'll be:

Richards
Iovu Graham KK
Strain Agyei Sevelj Ferry
Sapsford Watters Farrugia

Assuming a 343, I'm not sure I'd make any change to that except Naamo in for Strain.

Seen the supposed line up.

Goodwin is one negative fucker.

 
This is why I've given up hoping for a 433 or a 4231
Given up hope of seeing a creative midfielder linking with our strikers
Given up hope that Watters is benched.
(For anyone. The kitman would offer more)

Richards
Graham
Iovu
Keresztes
Naamo
Ferry
Strain
Agyei
Sevelj
Farrugia
Sapsford


Fuck knows what the setup is there. Bert makes the bench, deserves a start ahead of the two from last week who yet again, keep their place.

You never know, they might surprise us.

1 Striker and 10 defensive players.

Sound.
