timeEd32 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Gordon, Miggy, and Wilson all really need to rest. I'm sure Isak would benefit from another few days. Bruno also needs a rest, but we seemingly can't afford that at the moment. Lascelles also seems like he needs a rest. Don't know how to change it, but we also can't go on like this.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Do we change it up a bit just to give one of the wingers a rest here? 5-3-2 or something with Gordon or Almiron just off Wilson so the other gets a rest, Bruno, Miley and Longstaff in the middle, with Burn, Lascelles and Botman CBs (Trippier and Tino wing-backs). I don't know how we can keep going on as we are unless players come back, quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Have to honest, I think we will struggle big time this game. They will go out with full energy fighting for their captain. We dont really have the quality to take advantage of their over eagerness, neither do we have the energy to put up a fight in intensity. Almiron and Gordon both look pretty useless atm, other than those two we really dont have much attacking threat. Wilson cant do much on his own.

SteV Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I don’t understand the narrative that what happened to Lockyer will have some galvanising effect on them? Imagine that had happened to one of our most influential players. We’d be devastated. The feeling around the club would be terrible. We’d be incredibly worried about the negative effect it would have on the squad. It’s a hammer blow for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Think Luton win/draw double chance is the bet. We are crap away from home. Look to have picked up another injury or two to go with the two from the weekend. Plus so many look to be running in treacle after less than half the game gone. I know they’re right in the relegation battle. But they have only been losing by the odd goal and look tough to play against at home. Plus we will probably have Ritchie at left wing and Wilson has played 3 full games in under a week. Annoyingly think a game like this is ideal for him. But we need to be mindful of him breaking down yet again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Wonder if Botman starts, Luton’s strength is crosses as set pieces, him and Burn would be handy here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
