Team for Tonight... Leaked again??

Of course Barlaser was woeful on Saturday, but O'Brien was no better. He just has a little more goodwill in the tank with Boro fans.

I'd prefer both to not even be on the bench, but injuries mean they will be in the 20.
Agree O'Brien gets less grief for performances that are no better than Barlaser

Howson back! Great news.
Carrick said last week he thought Norwich match would be too soon didn't he?

Makes sense to go 3 at the back and start trying to make us a bit tougher to beat.

Would more or less pick that team - though I'd hope O'Brien can be eased out if we get to safety - because I've not been at all impressed with him since he cane back
Maybe Dijksteel not Ayling, but definitely agree with 3/5 at the back
Would be great if Howson is fit
 
I dint think it overly matters. I'm sure our recent firm isn't down to leaked teams.

I imagine Norwich will know 90% of the starting 11. We all do. Although how they set up can still change (unlikely). I think the Leicester gaffer said we surprised them.
 
I don't understand why we keep persisting with some of the loanees.

Ayling has been woeful and he's not our player. Our season is as good as finished now, so it doesn't make sense to continue playing them, unless they're in our future. For example, if we're looking at signing O'Brien, then of course, play him....but Ayling, Thomas, Greenwood should all be benched, at best.

In fact, I'd send them packing once we're officially safe from the drop zone.

If we're looking at signing O'Brien I hope he improves from recent performances
 
If as predicted Ayling starts and has Forss in front of him we will be very weak down the right. Norwich will expose this and it cost us big time. Both need benching with Djiksteel and Azaz in instead. Come on Michael you know it makes sense
 
Hoping that O'Brien comes into form once he has a strong midfielder next to him - we'll see tonight if its him and Howson.
 
you have to bear in m,ind hes just bacvk from a long term injury,ive seen plenty of him in the past and hes a very,very good midfielder,admittedley not shown too much yet tho,id be happy if we signed him tbh,well see

You must have been impressed by O'Brien at Leicester, surely, he cut them to ribbons on the break.

I was a big fan at Huddersfield, but I'm not convinced about him for us, not yet at least.
 
I hope that is the team because howson back and playing 3-5-2 is the only formation that suits the players available right now.latte and forss up top
Yes please 🙏🏻

I don't think it guarantees two up top.

Think it'll be more of a front 3 with Forss and McGree wide and Lath playing as CF

---------------Dieng------------

---VDB---McNair---Clarke--
Ayling----------------------Engel
------Howson--O'Brien------
Forss---------------------McGree
---------------Lath------------------
 
Could also swap McGree and O'Brien and play McGree in the middle and O'Brien in more advanced left role. Which I think would work better
