Azaz will haunt his former employers with his first Boro hat trick in a 5-0 drubbing. UTB
Just realised - it's a big game for Azaz....he will want to impress of course and with 2 goals in 2 games bang in form....
Plymouth are no mugs and if we don't take our chances 0-0 could quickly become 0-1 or worse - the championship is full of teams that can hurt us if we aren't ruthless....
hopefully, that performance has instilled some confidence that will allow belief to flourish....Particularly for O Brien who had his best game by far....and hopefully he inspires barlassor to similar heights of performance as they form a partnership out of injuries to Howson and Hackney.
The interesting aspect is Engel or Thomas....probably Engel knowing Carrick - reward for being part of an excellent win - however, Thomas showing why we brought him here...i thought he was excellent against Preston.
Tough call....with 14 games to go....Carrick probably needs to pick his preferred player and stick with it. I'd go for Thomas personally.
I just think he offers that bit more....and he is still getting into his stride therefore I think there is more to come from him...goals from full back perhaps ?
Formation - what will Mr MC do ?
3-5-1-1 as per Leicester or 4-2-3-1
Once again - given the injuries to key personnel and the fact that Silvera did so well at Leicester he probably deserves another chance - HOWEVER, Plymouth will offer the low block (I assume) so little chance for us to run in behind as Silvera does.
This makes Saturdays tactics a difficult one and quite possibly brings Greenwood back into the picture and Forss on the right for goal prowess and stretching teams wide -
We are going to need to stretch Plymouth wide because down the centre will be packed with players.
Then there is Paddys comeback and how well he did - in a 3-5-1-1
Tough calls all over the pitch to come for Carrick so lets see....
So many questions and hopefully our bright young manager can find some of the answers come Saturday !
